The Jackass crew performs stunts like diving into dung and zapping themselves with electric dog collars. I'm not saying we need censorship, but we do need to look more closely at who could be affected, how much of an effect there is, and what we can do about it.
Some people argue that artistic expression is just a way for kids to blow off steam.
It may be cathartic for an artist like Eminem to write and rap his lyrics, but if you put kids in front of highly stimulating violent material, the effect is predominantly arousing. Children can be put at risk by a developmental problem such as fetal alcohol syndrome, or by physical abuse or abandonment. Even just the absence of a father increases the probability of acting out violently. Unfortunately, our society has a lot of fatherless families and otherwise disturbed family systems, so a lot of kids are at risk. That's not to say kids with normal childhoods and stable families are entirely unaffected.
