I was truly disturbed after seeing a post on Facebook about this guy named Logan Paul who had shot a video in a Japan forest of someone that had committed suicide. Like, who da eff would do something so fakked up? Where is the class?
I remembered that my daughter really liked a vlogger named Jake Paul, so I asked my girl if she had heard of Logan. To my dismay, she said she did. I told her plain and simple that she wasn't allowed to watch his videos any more. Of course, she asked for my reason why. I told her that I saw an article about a video he had filmed. And boom. Instantly she knew it was the Japan suicide video! Yikes! Mind you, she's only 12! She told me she watched it. As if it wasn't a big deal.
Ok. What? A video is up online and it has an actual dead body in there. *Shudder*
This got me thinking that parents should be monitoring what their kids watch better. There are certain devices that allow you to block content, but it's not entirely fool proof. We can't be raising a generation that thinks stuff like this is acceptable. Pranks, fine. Ok. Disrespecting horrifying scenes? Really. Not. Cool.
Be more vigilant with kids viewing. Talk to them about what is acceptable to watch. Watching guys like this is only fueling their sick popularity! Don't do it!
I couldn't find the post about the first video, but it is mentioned again in the article I linked here. There is also another video of Logan Paul traipsing across Japan and making a fool of himself and US citizens. Gawd. Just stop already.

My two cents.
