Parents say the content offered is highly inappropriate for younger audiences due to its frequent use of vulgarity, violence, and adult themes, making it suitable only for older teens, ideally 14 and up, with parental guidance. Many reviewers express concern about the show's accessibility to younger viewers, noting that the programming schedule has shifted to an earlier time, making it easier for children to encounter inappropriate content.

Kids say that the website is entertaining but is primarily targeted towards older teens and adults due to its mature content, which includes strong language, sexual themes, and violence. Many reviews emphasize that while some shows may be okay for older children, it is essential for parents to supervise what their kids watch, as the majority of programming is not suitable for those under 14.

Is It Any Good?
Adult Swim, the network, focuses on edgy, satirical, sometimes experimental shows that feature extreme violence, casual sexism and highly suggestive material. But it's all done with a tongue-in-cheek attitude, so hey, it's OK -- it's making fun of sadism and chauvinism, not promoting it, right? Adult Swim, the Web site, follows the same pattern, with clips, articles, games, and other features that promote its shows.
Some of the shows are quite funny while some are appealing only to a niche audience, but all of them are aimed, as the name says, at adults. The Web site includes the same mix of content, which can often be hit-or-miss, but whether it strikes home or not, it's certainly not for young people.
Online interaction: Mostly limited to bulletin boards.

Families can talk about animated violence. Do you think cartoon violence is OK for kids? Does it seem less extreme if it doesn't involve real people? Do these online clips sometime feature violence that's more extreme than live-action horror films?
Do you think sexual images are less risqué when they are animated? Do you think the sites promotes sexism? How does it objectify women?
