Video: Talk to Your Kids About Emo

www.youtube.com/watch?v=

Utah television station ABC 4 has a gripping report on a new phenomenon called "emo" and its threat to the youth of America. (It's even in the new hit movie Spider-Man 3!) According to the story:

"Our news team began their study of emo culture on the Internet, where we quickly found hundreds of sites dedicated to teaching kids what emo is and how to be it. One site instructs, 'dye your hair black. Style it in the gunshot wound and never be happy. Happieness (sic) is a sin to emo culture.' In a state where the number two cause of teen death is suicide, experts say parents need to know emo culture and understand it."

Apparently "gender-bending" is also one of the peculiarities observed in this "new" phenomenon. (Say it ain't so!) But the good news is, Marilyn Manson, Eminem, Black Sabbath, Teletubbies, Judas Priest and all the other miscreants who previously threatened our young people may be off the hook for a while.
