Are toys training kids to grow up to be more violent?

in politics •  8 years ago 

There are a lot of toys out there for kids. Just imagine all of the different kinds that are available to children, especially Americans. Boys around the world are bought toy guns all the time. They just love it! Is this making them grow up to become more violent though? This satire exaggerates the violent implications that come with toy weapons. Are our kids headed this way? Probably not, but this is still pretty amusing!

I just want to point out the duality of this video if you didn't catch it. It makes fun of advertisements for kids' toys, but it also reflects on the governments of this world. One kid by himself got a Nerf Nuke because his mom had a lot of money. This symbolizes America in my opinion. The other kids that came together to buy more Nerf Nukes symbolize other less powerful countries (could be the Soviet Union). After they signed a treaty to not use Nerf Nukes, a poor kid claimed to have one. This could represent a country in the middle east. The kids started beating the crap out of the poor kid. This could represent America's invasion in the middle east (even though that isn't the actual reason for the invasion). I know I went a bit deep in examining this video, but that is part of the reason it was so funny to me! It is just amusing to me to see a (fake) commercial getting kids ready to be powerful dictators and warmongers!

This is from the show "The Whitest Kids You Know" by the way!

Did Farmville train kids to become more agricultural?

Use your head people before deciding to write a post.

Lighten up, the video wasn't even real...

Well I will say... I did grow up playing the Mario Brothers Trilogy on the Nintendo. People did insist these games would turn me into some sort of turtle stomping menace to society. ...but no turtles have been harmed in the making of this life story. Yet.

Hahaha!! Great reply!
