No Kids Please - Update

I recently posted a rant on Tamil parents taking their kids to movies(in this particular case, Kanaa Kanden) that were in no way suitable for viewing by kids. The Hindu's MetroPlus today has people from several walks of life voice their views on violence and sex in movies and their effect on children. According to Parvathy Viswanath, a psychologist, "Two major effects of reel violence are: children become less sensitive to pain and sufferings of others and they also behave in an aggressive manner. Children who watch the violent shows, even cartoons, are more likely to hit out at friends, argue, disobey class rules, leave tasks unfinished, and are less willing to wait for things". I rest my case!
