Parental Advisory Thoughts

Record companies are responsible to a certain extent to provide the listener with the knowledge of what is on the CD or Tape. But to think that they hold the sole responsibility of who is buying the music is crazy. Maybe we should put some parental advisories on children instead. Maybe if the parent was more involved in the child’s life this wouldn’t be an issue.  But why blame the parenting when it is much more convenient  to blame someone who will never be in contact with your child like a record company. It’s sad  to say but the little sticker on a music CD or even a comedy  CD just makes kids want it more. I see it as telling people smoking will kill you . Do people stop no way they keep on puffing that stuff into there lungs. The record companies have it the worst I think. Not only does their music get ripped off by  people trading music online with millions of people, but then when they do what the law requires and advise people there are lyrics that your five year old shouldn’t be listening to on the CD people buy it and play it in front of the kids that was suppose to be protected. It truly is a joke. On a serious note, the other day I’m driving and see a mother with two cute little babies in the back of a car and she has some foul mouth rapper blasting in the car. I thought I was at a concert it was so loud. Now after reading this assignment I can only laugh and think of this lady  yelling at a town hall meeting saying her babies shouldn’t have to listen to such  vulgar music. Parental advisory stickers on the CD just jump out at a kid and say buy me. I think It is a little bit of reverse psychology myself. Since the beginning of time with Adam and Eve they were told do not eat from a certain tree. Well we all know how that ended up right and if you don’t well they ended up eating the fruit. If the music was such a problem they would sell it like movie stores sell porn. No one under eighteen right. And it would be all weird to go buy it because everyone one knows what’s in that area. But with music it is the exact opposite. The worst music is right when you come in the door’s of the store. It attracts the attention of all the people that walk in to the store as well as their children. And when little Johnnie Sue asks mommy can you buy me this and they say no  at that very section their tiny brain says we have to have it now.  So yes I do believe the record companies do what they are required to do and if people don’t like it then my advice is to get involved with your child and write your congressman. Stop being lazy parents and take care of your children.
