I believe that parents should watch this show with their children that are 11 and older and explain that some of the situations on the show may seem funny ,but there are times when those events can actually happen.

What Parents Need to Know
About S.O.B.: Socially Offensive Behavior
Parents need to know that this hidden-camera series contains scenarios that aren't always kid-friendly and has some iffy language ("ass," etc.). And since young children might not understand that the people saying offensive things to unsuspecting "victims" are actually actors who were paid to be rude, parents will definitely want to make that point clear. On the plus side, the show could serve as a catalyst for conversations between parents and older teens about racism, sexism, and other types of socially offensive behavior.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether the show truly reflects the way people behave in modern society, or whether certain "bad" behaviors have been inflated for comic effect. What aspects of each situation are realistic and unrealistic? And do you think any of these scenarios could actually happen? Kids and parents can also share their own stories about times they might have felt offended or disrespected by a person they didn't know. When someone hurt your feelings by saying or doing something rude, did you choose to speak up, or did you keep quiet?

Great!
I believe this show is exactly what BET needs. Its not only entertaining, but also funny, informational, and accurate. It shows the limits of African-Americans and what they really believe despite what they say.
