What Parents Need to Know
About Atom TV
Parents need to know that this series is made up of skits and other short-form content that originally aired on the Web. Although often funny and creative, much of the subject matter is clearly intended for mature audiences. Segments include salty language (with the strongest words bleeped out), fantasy violence (with lots of fake blood and gore), drinking, smoking, and some racial/ethnic humor. There's also plenty of innuendo, including crass references to genitals and discussions about masturbation and other sexual practices. Occasional nudity (bare buttocks) is blurred out.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the relationship between Internet content and television. Why do you think people would want their Web clips to make the move to television? Do you think that everything on the Internet can be "repackaged" the way that this show does it? Do you think the two forms of media will always be separate? Families can also discuss whether it's OK to put iffier content on the Web than on television. Do online content creators incorporate mature content just because they can, or does it really make the show funnier? Is using strong language, inappropriate behavior, and/or racial stereotypes ever really appropriate, even online? Check out our Internet Safety Guide for more information on the issue.
