Wait, THIS Didn't Bother Anyone?

[valiens]

Can't believe there's not a thread about this but... Last night's RAW where Vinnie Mac is addressing all of the children and the camera cuts to all these little kids...then Vinnie says "ass" and "bastard" a bunch of times-- and nothing? No response?

Is it because it was after 9pm? Is it because the parents are bad parents for bringing their kids to wrestling when they know they'll hear that kind of language?

Did this juxtaposition bother no one else?

[BR329]

Last time I checked RAW has TV 14 rating. Its up too the parents to decide whats good for their kids.

[James McCloud IS John Godot]

I was appalled because I am sure that those children have never ever heard or said those words before they were taken to what was obviously advertised as a PG wrestling event.

Also, what I just said was a lie.

[plushtar]

If they are not bothered by a senior citizen exposing his ass or a bunch of inflated sluts fighting, then nothing would bother them.

[Boku AKA Da Green Guy]

The word bastard is a big deal?

I'm a bastard child and I find the word highly humorous.

[valiens]

There's just something gross about this old guy with his ass hanging out yelling "ass" and "bastard" and the camera cutting to all of these kids in the audience. Whether they've heard it all or not, it struck me as oddly gross.

it was a bit of an eye opener just to see how many kids were actually at raw. Another reason why ECW should be proper ECW. You can't make one product that will please older fans and cater to kids, that segment last night proved it.

Why does noone ever yell "WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN" in situations like that?

Do they not want to see me post later online about how hard that made me laugh??

[jamofpearls]

I was kind of caught off guard...i guess because of them showing kids on camera when he was doing it. But the one kid's reaction to Vince saying they were all "spoiled brats" did make me laugh.

[twiggy101]

That kid in the red shirt took offense in being called a brat.

[wolfmoon103100]

Vince was speekin' the truth.

Well, I read that WWE wanted to make themselves more family-friendly, because people like Cena and Rey and like Hornswoggle are so over with the little kids. And I read an article like that, and I just shake my head, because I don't want wrestling to go back to the cartoonish, kid-friendly stuff of the past. WWE was at it's best when it stopped catering to kids and started trying to get adults in

If you are appalled by what Vince did, say 'What?'.

Yeah...we need a GIF of that kid.

[Deleted]

if you don't raise your children right say what!

[T.J. "the Crippler" Stevens]

I would think Vince constantly showing his ass would bother people more than him uttering the word.

[jmac950]

I was more offended with the fact that Hornswoggle now gets treated like a 5 year old. I was creeped out that Vince thinks every kid should kiss their parents ass, literally. Add that to his incest father-daughter match, and the new brother/sister storyline, and, Vince has some really messed up fetishes.

Yeah that part creeped me out as well.

Yeah but the kid-geared wrestlers (Cena, Rey) are moving assloads of merchandise, as is what is arguably a more kid-friendly DX

And since this business is about the MO-NAYYYY, to paraphrase Vince...

[Dr. T is an alien]

I was too busy laughing at the guy screaming "MY EYES!!!" when Vince exposed his ass to think about such things like you did.
