Parents need to know that this site claims to be a "funny video" site for guys ages 13 and up. But what it really includes is soft porn, crude jokes that make fun of women, and lots of rude locker room humor. This site is competing with JackassWorld.com, without taking the physical risks. Some teen boys may, in fact, find this site funny. But the stereotypes of women and sexually explicit videos, photos, and text will definitely alarm many parents.
BUSHLEAGUE.TV comedian writers bill themselves as "an Internet super team of well-informed, poorly behaved experts for all areas of life." Well-informed about things like porn and violent video games, yes. Poorly behaved, agreed. A place where teens should go for laughs? No.
With posts like "Gentlemen, start your boners," including photos of completely naked women with tiny icons covering nipples and genitals, this site may seem funny to teen boys, many of whom are at the stage where they laugh when any word about a body part or bodily function is mentioned. But the real dangers of soft-core porn, blatant objectifying of women, over-fixation on violent video games, and a general slacker attitude about life are not what most parents want their teen boys spending time on the Internet laughing or "learning" about.
Families can talk about why a site like this exists. Who is benefiting from getting young teen boys hooked on this kind of material (especially the soft porn videos and photos) and how do they do it? With older teens, you may want to discuss the prevalence and dangers of Internet pornography and the social problem of pornography addiction.
