Jason: I was thinking we should get a big-screen TV. Andy: Oh? Jason: That way when I play video games, I'll be able to see every explosion of alien blood in big, bright, lifelike resolution. Whaddya say, mom? Peter: Who shrunk the television? Jason: Could you put it down, please?
Shrink the TV!!!!! Just throw it out along with the games. Maybe I’m biased though. We don’t have a TV at all and I don’t buy violent games for any other device. I was raised without a TV and of course without internet (I’m pushing 40). My kids are not allowed on the internet. When they are older and need on it for research, they will be monitored as well as have software installed to keep them from going where they shouldn’t. My oldest is in 5th grade, so I don’t have to worry about it just yet. I monitor their music too. If you need to occupy your mind, read a book. Its good for you! I monitor the type of books they read too.
