Boy Sees Boobs in Comic, Tells Mom, Mom Tells News

So the first thing the mom does is contact the news people of course, can't just return the comics and inform the store to take them off the kid shelves, no she has to waste news time by broadcasting her mistake to the world for 5 minutes of fame and at the same time give grief to Dollar Tree. How disgusting.
I saw nudity and i got mad
Who gets mad at boobs
shocked i can see but mad what is there to be angry about

That might just be the dumbest kid I have ever seen. Why would you turn something like that in to your parents? If when I was ten and I got my hands on a comic with nudity AND gratuitous violence that comic would be going some where safe. That kid just threw away a classic child hood memory for 30 seconds on TV.
I find it sad that the human body is considered an inherently sexual sight.
Call me a nudist if you will, but our bodies are more than that. I think a nude body has its own dignity. The classic artists would probably agree with me on that as well.
Of course, the comic book, being an "adult" one, probably wasn't so mature in its expression. If I know adult fiction, it probably had over the top features. So I can understand both sides of this debate.
At the end of the day, it's not a kid's comic and shouldn't be in a collection kids would want, but a slip up is a slip up, and should be forgiven as such.
I should correct you, though. You mean the conservative media. A "liberal" media would be more okay with expressing nudity and not afraid of it. Conservatism fears such revolutions, not liberalism.

Americans aren't necessarily sheltered. That's a bit of a generalisation. But religious people may tend to be due to their beliefs about sex, temptation, and the sin of lust, and America is the most religious country by popularity, as Western nations go. So I get where you're coming from with that.SodaDew said:

Huh. And there was me thinking that most people at age 10 didn't really have a sex drive yet. Looking over the pages of replies belittling the kid's decision, I guess I must have been wrong about that.
Oh well, whatever.
While I think the mother over-reacted somewhat, the way the manager just saw what he was selling and started to take it down was amusing to me. True, he could have been doing that simply to avoid conflict and unwanted attention, but it doesn't make it less amusing in my eyes.

Am I the only one that thinks that the news story should have been about a messed up ten year old boy instead? That kid is going to grow up to be one messed up dude.
On a side note, why is it bad for kids to see breasts? I understand genitals, but what's wrong with breasts? It's not like it corrupts kids, or else human kind would have never made it past the stone age. Anyone who was ever breast fed would have seen breasts (and indeed, done more than just looked), but then we're subjected to a 15 year period of no-breasts-allowed. Make sense much?

Plus the barb wire and the skull on the post. Totally child friendly.Susan Arendt said:
Why parents need to look at the object they are buying and decide if the game/movie/comic with the M/R rating and the guy with a chainsaw gun is right for their children.
Hi. Welcome to the year 2010, where women can vote, man has been to the moon, and Mormons don't practice polygamy. Guess which of those things has been true the longest.breadlord said:
I agree that that is terrible, but I hardly think this mother has any obligation to care about what's printed in some French magazine. If you're trying to suggest she's somehow a hypocrite, you're doing a rather poor job of it.ceeqanguel said:
It's called "sex ed classes". If kids have to resort to "learning" about sex from movies and comic books, then there are far greater problems at play than censorship.Tehlanna TPX said:
It doesn't look too much more grimdark than some of the kids' cartoons from the same period, honestly. Remember, kids dig grimdark, even if the actual violence is kept at "kid safe" levels. And covers are often designed to look edgier than the comic inside, just to lure in readers.squid5580 said:
Anyway, you know the old adage: "Don't judge a book by its cover."
Ha ha ha. I almost wish we had signatures on this forum so I could stick that in mine.generic gamer said:
It's a local news team. They cover the goings-on of one city and, if they're anything like the stations over here, they have to fill more time than ABC, NBC and CBS combined spend reporting what's going on in the entire world. So yeah. They do get a bit desperate at times.dkuch said:
Oh no, nudity! you can't so much as search anything on google and such without being flooded with p0rn.
Wow. That kid is pretty stunned. And yes, my ten year old self would have said the same thing. At his age I had already seen "Heavy Metal" (watched many times since then), and had seen my share of "Conan" comics, which never skimped on the violence or T&A.
What the hell's up with the mom though? Contacting the media? Just go to the damn store and tell them yourself. Geez.

O C'mon! as if this kind of moral issues would change his life forever!
