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

[ChaoticLegion]

Alright, so being 10 he may not care about the tits (cartoons don't do it for me anyway) but what sort of 10-year-old boy turns down ultra violence?!

Couldn't agree with you more... "ohh look violence, must hand this to an adult"...... Something deffinately wrong with that child.

The whole story just made me lol.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

..I simply laughed, and facepalmed.

Just deal with it, nudity never hurt anyo- Well, sexually scared/unknowledgable kids and adolescents, maybe. But we all know they don't count. That kid is going to regret that for the rest of his life, me thinks.

The kid snitches on himself?
Wait what now?

*raise eyebrow, lowers eyebrow, returns to his Hellboy reading* Feh...

Comic books don't have ratings on them? They really should. So should books.

The mother is a fool, at least briefly scan the content to be sure what you are buying is actually child-friendly.

Ummmmm.....did the mother even LOOK at the comic before she bought it?

Especially given the skeleton with a scythe right on the cover.

See, I though by the article's inference that the collection was sealed, so there's no way she could have scanned it over first.

@katsabas: As far as I'm aware the mother bought it for him, and second of all: OH NOES THE GRIM REAPER! Please, they have stuff like that ghost trains. Which are for children. Heck Skeletor has a skull for a face, so does the Skull Master from Mighty Max, it's a comic book for christ sake, if you'd assume it was for kids, there's nothing to be amazed at the fact that it had the Grim Reaper on the cover.

Now OT: People will kick up a fuss about anything. And I'm betting that kid was payed to say "I saw a naked woman and got mad, then saw violence and handed it to a grown up", no kid acts naturally like that except if he has extreme conditioning of somekind. Now here it's no ones fault but he packaging company. But the kid is still wetter than a thunderstorm sandwich, and mum is a bit over the top.

Not all kids are the same. And if this one has indeed extreme conditioning, his mom shouldn't have bought it in the first place. I got scared watching the Frighteners for the first time so that is where my train of thought was going. I wouldn't buy a comic like that for my 10 year old son (if I had a kid) but whatever.

Well yeah the porn side of things a 10 year old shouldn't really be in his hands, but y'know and i'm too tired to say anything so...yeah..

If "naked ladies" are making your kid angery (quoting from the video) you have more than a few problrms on your hands. All of those people are all FUCKING STUPID.

 

[Le_Lisra]

When will people ever learn that if something isn't for children and even tells you so on the cover or box, it really means it's not for them?

All this media-driven insanity is starting to grow tiring.

It didn't say on the packaging, it said that it was suitable for all the family.

When I was 10 I was eagerly looking for tits, this being before the internet was generally there. In a real way it is very much suitable for all the family. Violence for the kids, tits for dad, a story for other kids, and.. dunno.. crossword for mum?^^

About that, you cannot be right enough, mate.

This is disgusting! Whats next?! Black people voting?!

Hihi. You get a cookie.

Parents need to take some bloody responsabilty!!!

If she bothered to look at the cover, she might have realised that it might just not be the best thing to give a little boy, but NOOOO, blame someone else!

The problem is the comic is not just sitting there. It's part of something called Super Hero Comic Book Spectacular 5 pack [http://www.beckett.com/item/68932694/] which is a sealed package of five comics in one package. The wrapper claims it's family friendly.

This means if the comics are a random assortment, then there's only a 20% chance she could have seen the cover before purchasing it.

In this case, the company that put it together IS to blame. They're advertising a G-rated product, and parents are making decisions based on that. They break that trust by not actually producing the product advertised.

If the package claimed it was a mature product for adult fans, then it'd be a completely different story.

Crisis of the year!!

 

[MetalMonkey74]

I see. I'm sorry, I'm from a small island in the Mediterranean.. we barely get comic books here let alone packages. My apologies to the parent I thought was irresponsible!

Either way, I am glad they haven't sued the store for it.

Especially given the skeleton with a scythe right on the cover.

Well that would imply lots of violence, not nudity. Or is that guy naked on the cover too?

 

[YoUnG205]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Nudity! Run Away!

 

[Zersy]

Everyone was a idiot in this...

 

[Lono Shrugged]

Jesus, I'm just grateful it wasn't a copy of The Boys. The outside world should not know about the existence of that comic
