Seriously, searching “the oc” + “not for children” gets you to my blog. So I’d like to reiterate it to make parents feel satisfied.

The OC is not for children. Not only that, it’s a lousy show. Don’t let them watch it.If they’re under 15, they should be watching cartoons–or just not watching television at all, but reading or playing with friends or even playing video games. Playing video games, where you get to make choices and see the concequences of them, is far more educational than watching television and letting people tell you what to think.

Don’t be stringent on your kids and not let them watch television at all, but give them some good shows. Discovery and History Channel. Disney and Nickelodeon, even though their programming is lousy nowadays.

And no M games, unless you plan on playing with them. Don’t let them play Halo. Sit them down and play Medal of Honor Co-operative, and talk to them about the history of the World Wars. Play Age of Empires with them and explain what the campaign of Atilla the Hun means.

You’re right. The OC is not for children.

This was an interesting post that has nothing to do with the news, and yet all to do with it.

I am a firm supporter of AO and M-rated games. And I am also a supporter of protecting children from the harm these games could cause them.

But here’s a clue: it’s not the game’s fault.

My siblings don’t watch The OC and Nip and Tuck. My little brother did not watch 300. Just saying.
