common sense media says
Card-making site fun for teens, needs supervision for kids.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this site allows users to customize a broad selection of unique e-cards to send to friends. But while much of the offerings are fun, a lot of the
content includes political satire, raunchy humor, and racy gags best suited for adults and older teens. With supervision, little kids can have fun personalizing some of the tamer videos.
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Violence:
Some of the videos and cards have some intense,
violent graphics. And although it's animated and none of it looks particularly
real, it's over-the-top gratuitous. The site does, however, provide fair warning
of this type of violent content so the user can avoid it.

Sex:
There are a number of sexually themed cards and
videos, some with overt sexual references and language. A cursory look will
uncover references to lap dances, hookers, sex, and genital
warts.

Language:
While many of the cards and videos are
good, clean fun, there are some that contain explicit language. For instance,
one e-card is called "I f---in' love you" and another
is called "Nuckin Futs."

Consumerism:
Each page of the site features banner ads that
relate to the general theme of the Web site: humor. Cable television show
advertisements from stations such as MTV and Comedy Central are featured
prominently throughout.

Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Because the content of each
card and video varies depending on its creator, there are occasional images and
text that depict or refer to smoking and/or alcohol usage.

Boon's rating
There is so much sexual humor, and violence on this site that you can click on video of a baby, and he will suddenly start cursing. they have tons of movie spoofs from a christmas story, to jaws, to star wars. most of these videos contain obsene language. the violent and sexual e-mails give you a good warning that says it is violent or bad. still most videos have bad language, but have no warning. the word f--k is used rarely and probably only once, but this is a site kids should never go to.

Hilarious Political Humor
JibJab is full of funny movies that offer astute political and social commentary. My personal favorites are the year-end summaries. Parents be warned, there is sex, violence, potty humor, and other stuff that just isn't appropriate for under 13s.
