Gave the first few episodes if The Newsroom a spin today, not sure how I feel about it yet, has had some brilliant moments particularly the more serious side of the show- the newsrounds and interviews but seems to underwhelm on the personal relationships front and the lighter side seems to verge on the silly at times.

If they were being dressed up as minor politicians then you'd be right, but I'd have guessed this is exactly the sort of news story that youngsters would be aware of and have opinions on.

Thing is: the changes are ridiculously dramatic, but are almost all currently at some reasonable stage of development. Loving the idea of the living street lights.

Maybe I'm just basing it on me and my peers at that age (assuming they are aged 10-13) but we did actually have an opinion on what was going on in the world, read newspapers and saw news bulletins even if was KidzNews John Craven style or whatever.
Two pretty girls going on holidays and getting into major trouble with the police would definitely have been a story we'd have been discussing.
I was part of the Martin Prince nerd gang though, I'll admit that.

Anyway far too much is being read into a childrens fancy dress competition. Not every kid wants to dress up the same as their peers, which is the assumptions RasTa and Kayroo are making. Some kids are highly creative and imaginative at this age

I was just fascinated by stuff (I still am I guess).
I just think there was something unfair about the way the possibility of the girls having an understanding of the events was dismissed.

Originally posted by conspicuous View PostYou think Rasta is spot on because after making huge assumptions and leaps of faith about both the children and their parents you've written your own narrative
My assumption is that a kid who goes to a fancy dress party in the middle of the afternoon is not so up on their current affairs that they would ask their parents to assist them dress up as suspected drug mules for the lols.
It's clearly the parents' idea and (prepare for an assumption) I would imagine it was to show how cool the parents are as opposed to letting the kids have fun by dressing up.Last edited by Kayroo; 25-08-13, 13:55.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

You jump to so many conclusions about children and how parents bring them up [without considering any grey areas] that you couldn't possibly have any of your own.
