Parents need to know that this site is based on user submissions of photos, videos, audio, and text about stuff they want to brag about. Much of the content is OK -- and even admirable -- but the site isn't closely monitored so inappropriate things could pop up.
Educational value:It's difficult to say there's educational benefit here if kids get the idea that eating two cans of baked beans in one sitting or joining a pirate gang are truly brag-worthy feats.
Positive messages:This site doesn't exactly promote healthy ways to increase one's self-esteem. Being proud of yourself, according to this site, includes "rubbing" your so-called accomplishments "in everyone else's faces." The "lie detector" and "insanity quotient" features let users vote on whether they think someone is lying about a brag or whether it's just "insane." Also, "witness statements" allow friends to attest to the reality of an alleged brag.
Violence:The site's Terms and Conditions warn against posting "excessive nudity, violence or offensive subject matter," but it doesn't promise close monitoring of future user posts.
Sex:Anything that is considered "adult material" should be filed by users under the "adult filter." The site's Terms and Conditions warn against posting
"excessive nudity, violence or offensive subject matter," but it
doesn't promise close monitoring of future user posts.
Language:None observed, but no promises here, either.
Consumerism:Google AdSense ads. Banner ads with photos for companies clearly targeting adults, like car insurance. There's also a store, where you can attach your brag to shirts, mugs, mouse pads, and more and buy them directly from the site.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:The site makes no promises to filter submissions. Anything that is considered "adult material" should be filed by users under the "adult filter" but there are no assurances that users will abide by that or that the site will monitor submissions closely.
