Would you mind if I use your title from http://videosift.com/video/Incredible-VCR-Collection for http://videosift.com/video/Finnish-Man-Shows-of-VCRs ? I think your title is better.
Sure go ahead, it aint no thang.

Because concerning the subconscious, it is reality-debasing violence. Cutting without blood, physical damage without pain, violence consistent enough to be considered a main plot gimmick; All done in the guise of charming and playful action in a media form that is primarily considered for kids(and trusted by kids.) Like child-targeted commercials and all subliminal media, it's not that I have a problem with the content but rather the way it is relayed. Questioning the subconscious impact of media is a skill that children have not yet developed.

Curious to hear why in your book Tom and Jerry is R. I can understand why Saving Private Ryan is PG-13 though...

Coming from a gamer :
I would rather see the kid playing counterstrike instead of team fortress 2.
I would rather see the kid playing a game with realistic violence with realistic consequences(screams, blood, death) than playing a cartoonish parody of violence which whitewashes nearly all consequences of the act.
I would rather see the kid watching Saving Private Ryan(rating PG-13 in my book) instead of Tom and Jerry(rating R in my book.)

I think most childhood violence happens due to the 'acceptable'(aka unreal) violence in our daily media consumption. It subconsciously debases all reality of the act. I ask you, are parents who slaughter an animal on the family farm worse human beings because the child now has an understanding of death? I hope you realize 'no.'

I know most parents want to hold onto their child's innocence as long as they can, but that's their style of parenting. It takes all kinds, right?
