Your review says this site contains violence because of car accidents. If that's your stance, you might as well force your kids to wear blindfolds whenever they go outside also, they'd better not see anything that might be shocking. Listen. You can't shield your kids from everything. And if you do, how will they react when you aren't there to stop them? The won't know what to do. As for the commercialism aspect, a website's purpose is to either make money or promote a product. Organizations are another story, but those ask for donations.
