In the documentary “Bowling for Columbine” one of the few shows mentioned by people looking for something to blame was South Park. In the documentary, Michael Moore had the chance to sit down and talk with Matt Stone, co-creator of South Park, and get his opinion on the filming. Oddly enough both Matt and Trey Parker, the other co-creator of South Park, went to Columbine High for high school. So, during the discussion Moore had with Matt, Matt was able to talk about Columbine High from a personal experience. How it was, like most high schools, “painfully, painfully, painfully normal, just absolutely painfully horribly average.” It also highlights the unnecessary stress that high school can bring. He also says that when it comes to Eric and Dylan, he wishes, “Someone could have just grabbed him and said, 'man, high school isn't the end' […] It's amazing how quickly you lose touch with all those people. " Getting back to the specific topic that shows like South Park have corrupted these kids, even if that were true, that's not the show's fault. The show itself is rated TV-MA, meaning it's not appropriate for kids younger than that to 17. Here is an argument that can also be used against all the previously stated arguments. Instead of blaming the shows, violent video games or music, none of which were intended for children and are accused of corrupting them, why not blame the parents. ? This argument is incredibly strong against video games violent people accused of corrupting children, as there is an age limit of 17 to even purchase an "M" rated game. If a child has a violent video game, there is a strong possibility that their parents bought it for them. Even at the counter, if a child is present when the parent purchases a game rated “M,” the employee must point out that it is rated “M” and what it is rated “M” for. If an adult offered a child a beer, would you blame the beer for getting the child drunk, or the parent who gave the child the beer?
