Pure Amusement

Everone likes a good entertaining video. It can give some people a moment of hysterical laughter or a moment of amusement which may be later passed onto someone else.
I'm passing this video on to you guys for pure amusement. A friend showed me this video a while ago and when I think about it today, it stil brings a smile to my face.



What I love about this video is that it is a child face who's goes from pure joy at his parents laughter to a serious look from the urging of his parents. Then the child just laughs it off and does it again.
Do you agree or is there something else you like about this video? Or do you not care for it?
I hope that this video brought a smile to your face and maybe you'll pass it on to someone else!

R-Rated Movies

Has anyone ever seen the first King Kong movie? The black and white film made in the 1930's? Would you believe me if I told you that, back in the day, when people first saw this film, they were terrified of this giant gorrilla? When people look at the film these days, they see a stuffed animal hobbling around on the screen. What's my point? People are growing up quickly and are becoming accustomed to new technology and special effects that are used to try and scare us.
What's really my point: The age to see an R-rated movie should be lowered.
What is it that bans teens under the age of seventeen from seeing an R-rated movie? It's nudity, violence, gore, strong language, and a few other things.
But what stops teens from seeing these things in everyday life?
There is one big source for all teens who are curious about any of these. It's called the internet. Yes, your parents may blocked you from some web pages but teens are smarter than that. They have friends, some may be older, who, with some persuasion, can get them what they want. It's not a difficult task.
I believe that 16 is a good age to see R-rated movies. If they choose to go, it is their decision on what they want to see.
Do you agree?
