And I'm sure Tarantino said it for exactly what happened-a whole wack of publicity for his film. I don't let the kids watch anything I don't want to deal with the effects of. This includes all adult themed cartoons and shows. However, I'm sure my husband isn't as careful with this, based on some things my daughter says. But at least it allows me to deal with some of it before she goes to school.

We have a store nearby called 3 and up or something like that and they sell all the adult geared action stuff...and it is obvious by the store that it is for adults..not kids... but when the kids get to see this stuff at the toy store...and yes people are stupid!

He knows what it is though as my sister's kids watch it so he has seen some. I'm trying to keep him from physical violence and unfortunately there's too much of it in The Simpsons.

I wouldn't go so far as to boycott the film, or anything, but I still think it's... tacky.

This is why we live in America. As an adult, I get to choose what I watch and buy. For myself, and for my kid(s). This won't be something I watch or buy, but I fully support your right to buy and watch it. PS: Love the Go Read it Today Feature! You have singlehandedly doubled the number of blogs I read on a daily basis. So many good blogs, so little time... :) I don't recall how I came upon your site, but I have been lurking here for a little over a week, I think. Hi! I totally agree with you.
