Now I can already hear the entitled cries of "Well it's about time MySpace was required to do something!"
Idiots. Here's an idea: What if, and this may come as a shock so hang on...What if the parents are responsible for the care of their children!?!
Holy Batshit Batman!! What the Batfuck can you possibly mean?
Personal responsibility Boy Wonder, personal fucking responsibility. So elegant in it's simplicity...so elusive in it's application.
Disgusting to me how the "Me first" generation has devolved into this self-devolving attitude of "anyone but me" mentality towards responsibility.
I'm oft times surprised to find this is far from a new, or generational attitude. I don't know if you can even find them anymore, but I'm reminded of a children's book series from my childhood called "Sweet Pickles" This series came out in the late 70's and thanks to Captain Kangaroo, into my life.

The above link references the specific character I had in mind...Accusing Alligator. Who Stole Alligator's Shoe? is about Accusing Alligator who blames everything and everybody for anything that happens.
Huh...sound familiar?
