Good grief! I can't believe this. I can't believe how some people still
believe children are going to copy what they see on tv. Especially since
pre-watershed programs (ie soaps) seem to be getting more violent all the
time... I'm pretty sure most kids are growing a stronger understanding
between real life and tv.
Although, saying this.. I do remember hearing that the BBC got quite a few
complaints after they showed an episode of a picture-drawn Roald Dahl story
(George's Marvellous Medicine - read by british comedian Rik Mayall) because
some kids were trying to bump off their grannies.
Although when I hear stuff like that, you've got to question the parenting I
think... no matter what I saw on tv, I'm pretty sure even in my infantile
mind I would realise it would be wrong to try and kill my gran..!

Just my two cents (pence)
