New anti-online predator ad is creepy, stupid
Presumably brought to you by the geniuses in charge of anti-drug commercials, the government of our fair nation now proudly presents their new campaign aimed to stop online predation. Here’s the spot:
Great buildup, huh? In addition to making parents think all children under the age of 12 can automatically imply words from their leading character, without limit, tcivwitoetaiv,kt (this commercial is very weak in terms of educating the actual intended victims, kids themselves). Combine this with this news story about ’1337′ or ‘l33t’ speak, and you can be pretty much sure the public servants in charge of protecting our kids out in cyberspace have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.
Plus, who needs the internet when you can check into high school as a student and a convicted sex offender.
