Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    "How To Make Your Own Web Show" section covers lighting, audio and other video-making tips.
  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Mild flirting. "iKissed Him First" game requires dragging blue or pink kisses to Shane's face. "Hey, What Am I Licking" segment has character blindfolded and must identify object by licking only. One mention of "pointy boobs."
  • Language:

    Content rating scale reads, "suckish" vs. "rocks."
  • Consumerism:

    Ads gone wild: animated, flashing and talking! The types of ads (credit cards, fake contests, etc.) are bothersome.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how ads are designed to get viewers' attention. Look through a few online ads together and note how they are labeled, if they are animated and what tactics are used in order to get the user to click on them. Kids may not be familiar with how ads are sometimes designed as "contests" which require entering information and/or purchasing something to enter.
