dont try this at home

I was just watching the 10.30 nightline news. On the show they had a little segment on a certain video on 'you tube'.(sorry couldnt find link).. In the video a group of kids decide it will be an excellent idea to sit inside of one of those playground spinning wheels(hoping you know the type)the ones you sat on as a kid and someone would push you in circles and you would be forced outwards, as in most Mcdonalds playgrounds. The kids are on it and someone puts the back tyre of the scooter on the rotating disc which is parralell with the ground.... after a few seconds, the two children go flying off at an insane speed. what a suprise!. This video had been watched by over a million people via the web. This has rehashed the arguements relating to regulation of the internet which we discussed in class today with blogging. Should there be a system in place to protect the impressionable youth from such crazy endangering antics?... this is pure fantasy.
ironically, on the same news they had an article relating to the 25th birthday of MTV, the show which bought us such shows as Jackass. This argument seems to be thrown up every six months or so, and it seems to be you tubes turn at taking the blame. Being the fastest growing website in the world means alot of people are going to be throwing them down the gauntlet of ethical behaviour. The way i see it is the web is like a book that has lude and outrageous conduct. If we dont like the lude and outrageous conduct then we can either stop reading or never pick up the book in the first place. I just believe that the perception around the internet is that it is lo-culture and seems like a perfect medium to vent rage at the intrinsic idiosyncracies of our messed up (but fun) stage. Courts
