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

[Treblaine]

"hmm, my son just saw some breasts in a comic, now if i was actually stupid enough to be concerned by this the logical action would be to go to the STORE and complain to get this quickly sorted out.

on the other hand I could instantly call a NATIONAL NEWS NETWORK and hopefully I can make some money about this or at least get a feeling of self importance as I completely blow this out of proportion."

I hate the universe... or at least the small part of the solar system we inhabit.

The mother is 90% to blame here, she wouldn't buy her son a copy of Nabokov's Lolita? But how could she know, literature is almost 100% free from censorship, she has to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and just flick through the products she is buying for her kids.

Rule #1: don't judge a book by it's cover.

PS: that kids is a fucking pussy. When I found my first boobs at 10 I coveted that shit like I'd found the Holy Grail.

 

[Treblaine]

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?!

In the video, he stated that he didn`t even see that, he opened it and instantly `saw naked ladies and got mad` before giving it to an adult.

LOLOLOLOLOL!

That is one fucked up kid, who gets "mad" at seeing bewbs? Go to a freaking art gallery, paintings/drawings of naked chicks everywhere.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

lol, he must be the only kid in the world that would do such a thing...

 

[Treblaine]

Found this a lot in ABC's comments section:

Seems most suitable.

 

[Druss the Legend]

Sounds like a case of bad parenting, attention seeking and crappy news presenters.

 

[Vaer]

I like the fact that his mom didn't mind the skeleton with the scythe, or the fact that the comics depict a lot of fighting and general violence, but noo... boobies, "my son will be scared for life, he will become a stalker, a pervert .. noooo" so yeah, I understand that content such as this may be inappropriate for kids but still... the mother didn't need to go to the press, she should have had a talk with her son instead. ( also I believe her son may be gay )

 

[brodie21]

they are not freaking out about this because comic books were for people in the fifties to freak out about, then it was rock 'n roll, then vietnam, then missiles in cuba, then terrorists on planes, and now video games.

 

[Battenbergcake]

Blimey, can no one console their children about this kind of thing anymore?

If you get mugged, you report it to the police.
If you create a piece art, you stick it in a gallery.
If you write a book, you have it published.
And if you take a poo you don't write in to the local radio station about how many chunk of corn were floating in the water, you flush it away and forget about it.

Really just explain to the child about the difference in anatomy and take the material away from him until he's older.

 

[brodie21]

by the way, i do not think that the kid actually told his mother, that is like gold for little kids. he could have charged his friends a quarter each to read it and made himself some money.

...kid gets beat up at school by 13 years old bullies who lost a 'drawn breasts' source
(for me, violent and exposed (breasts) comics were given to me...as a Christmas gift...when I was 14...by my Godfather )

 

[Woodsey]

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?!

Urgh... Just, urgh... You people...

So what happened here? An adult comic book was being sold as family friendly? Whoever's responsible deserves a lawsuit.

For what? A mistake?

Everyone's out to sue everyone, he's hardly been damaged by the experience - the shop has scrapped the comics, that's enough.

 

[Quaxar]

Wow, that is one damaged kid. When I was 10 I was reading Duck comics... and they don't even wear trousers! Think about that, she can be happy it was only breasts!

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Remember, if a non-family-friendly comic gets sealed in a bag with family-friendly comics, and the collection is advertised as family friendly, any parent who gets upset at the non-family-friendly comic is an idiot for not teleporting the book out to scan it, then deciding not to buy it. Oh, and is also a prude.

Granted, she didn't need to go to the media. But it seems everyone is calling her an idiot for not scanning the comic, and a prude for being upset at the nudity, since the cover is clearly not child-friendly, and covers never lie. Ever.

Most of us would have just stuffed it in the closet under the Sears catalog. But this is what has become of those DAMN HIPPIES!!!!! Yes, I am paraphrasing Patton Oswalt here (if you don't know who that is, fix your lives right now) but, it's the kids of hippie parents. You see, when hippies had kids, they let their kids do whatever they damn well pleased. Get high, have sex, protest *shudder*. And, as we all know, every kid hates their parents and wants to be the opposite of said parents. So, now we have kids with hippie parents who want to suck all the gawd damn fun out of life. The mom should have sat down with her son and had an adult discussion with him about human anatomy. But instead, she flips and contacts the news. WTFF?! Now, that little boy thinks the female body is an evil thing. He was just confused about why his swimming trunks area felt funny. So, his mom did the rational thing by teaching him that sex and women were evil. This kid will grow up to be a serial killer. Thanks a whole lot, hippies. Also, it was in Utah. I am surprised the Mormons didn't stone the store owner to death at the gates of the city. (That last part was a joke. Not all Mormons are evil and bigoted.)

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

I'm sorry, but the first thing I thought when I read this was "Holy crap! They sell comics at the Dollar Tree now?!"

Other than that, yeah. That was a big mess up. Still, it's one of those things you simply complain to the manager about. She was just looking for attention when she went to the local news.

 

[Chase Yojimbo]

Seeing boobs in a comic? i don't see a real problem actually, i hate it when people over react and they think that now that their child is interested in women that they are gonna do hard drugs and roam the streets in disseray... Be thankful that it wasn't Plumbers Weekly that the kid was interested in.

 

[Legion]

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

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

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

I think that goes back to the whole issue of sex being considered more offensive than violence by a lot of people.

Crazy, crazy people.

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?!

Urgh... Just, urgh... You people...

It was a stupid mistake, but a lawsuit? Come on, that's just madness.

When I was 10 we were making paper mache in school and one of the newspaper pages was from a tabloid called 'The Sun' that has a topless mode each day on page 3, to my recollection nothing happened and nobody was mentally scarred.

 

[Skops]

man wtf? When I was a kid, if i saw a magazine picture with some hot broad in a bra and panties I'd rip out the page and horde under my bed. If I saw boobeh, well I'm not sure I would've done. I never saw bare breasts under i was like 14 when my friend exposed me to porn.

OT: This kid has no future, he's a chicken shit rat.
