Study Shows Real Life Hazardous to Children's Development
And Parents everywhere breathe a sigh of relief…Thanks to a new study put out by the researchers at PLANT G Studies, the secret hope of parents everywhere has been realized. The television is in fact the perfect baby-sitter for most lifestyle choices. With a good mixture of video games, children can enjoy an edifying environment that provides healthy stimuli for cognitive and social development. The study compared commonly found real life scenarios with those found on television and other SSSS's (Simulated Significance Situational Scenarios) like video games and movies.
The study, which took an estimated 195,000 man-hours* to complete, shows that real-life is far more dangerous to the development of children than previously accredited. The statistics were simply startling:
-Children who ride in real cars with their parents are 2800% more likely to encounter life-threatening accidents than in any form of SSSS
-Children riding with parents are 400% more likely to hear vulgar language, and of a stronger variety
-Children who drive real cars are ∞% more likely to die in an accident than they are to die while driving in a car-simulating video game.
-Children desensitized to violence by the endless display of blood and gore on America's highway system consisting of mutilated deer, groundhogs and various other forest creaures are 3900% more likely to continue the cycle of gore when they are of driving age.
-Children in school systems are 151% more likely to learn what sex is than by vegetating in front of a television
-Children deprived** from SSSS's are 87% more unlikely to have learned to appreciate outstanding feats of art from such artists as Hannah Montana and The Jonas Brothers, or the more abstract accomplishments of programming on Noggin'
When asked what these findings mean to practical parenting, mother-of-two Janice Dearbread-cash***, stated, "Well, you know, I think these findings are very encouraging. I've long believed that living in the real world can only lead to death and destruction.**** Now, I know beyond a doubt that my lifestyle of keeping my daughters more emotionally more attached to Zach & Cody than to myself is healthy. People used to the think that video games promoted violence, but now we realize that the real world is far more damaging to the human psyche. So, yes, overall, I can say I'm excited; it certainly will make parenting easier and will give me a good, healthy conscious. I only hope they can find a way to allow adults to avoid real life for at least most of the day."
Full results of the ground-breaking study are to be released at a later date in a book tentatively titled: "Life Kills: The Startling Truth About Your Child's Development"

just... wow
haha i love how sarcastic it is
then when u think bout it how true lol
ohmy. can't.stop.laughing. oh gee.
This was awesome. Thank you!
I liked pieces of "Across the Universe" but I didn't think it succeeded as a whole work. My favorite parts were "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and, surprisingly enough, "I Am the Walrus," which a lot of people seemed to hate. I guess I was looking for something very tripped out and those songs delivered. When I spoke of killing songs, the one I was thinking about was "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Everything about that bit was awkward as heck.
I'm not sure if Switchfoot is still my favorite band, but they definitely were at the time The Beautiful Letdown was released and they are still near the top.
haha. so great. infinity% is my favourite concept here.
There's so totally a typo though....mutilated deAr? :p
oh & ryc -- *insert something here* ? that completely lacks creativity and observation. however it did make me laugh and/or ponder if it was a veiled insult..which was also amusing. :)
i wonder if a person CAN laugh their mind off. what a way to die though. almost worth it.
Okay... I originally missed it.. but now I see...

Gotta love satire...
@adifferentkindofbeautiful - Yes, Yes. I do have to love satire. After all, if I didn't love satire, I probably wouldn't have posted this... and then well.... who knows what would have happened. People might actually think real life was safe. My love of satire saves lives.... and to know good and do it not would be evil, and I can't be evil. Therefore I have to love satire.
@WordFlyerJosh - Hopefully you'll appreciate my next post then
@adifferentkindofbeautiful - yes. I do hope I do appreciate it. In fact, I would say as much on your pulse but your last pulse lasted all of 10 minutes, methinks.
@WordFlyerJosh - yeah, I don't want people going "why???" just yet ;)
(basically I used pictures from Myspace... hopefully they'll find it amusing
I"m still waiting for approval)
@adifferentkindofbeautiful - haha. I see.
