Reminds me of the early internet days.
Or how about the CD-ROM bubble? The "ForBidden Subjects" CD-ROM certainly hasn't aged well since it was pressed in '94. It was still phun stuff for its time where now its complete contents and much, much more is available online.

I still like me a good gory horror movie, or intense shoot out scene but mainly because that fantasy remains a fantasy.
I have a feeling that you'll totally dig Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive". It's just an awesome movie. Who wouldn't go for an "arse-kicking" priest or literally mowing down the living dead? :-)
Apart from that, I take the beauty of this world along with its ugliness. I accept it all for what it is, both good and bad. It's the people who can't accept that or would rather deny the sheer cruelty out there, cruelty that even happens to very nice people, who anyone who cares should steer clear of.
Especially if they wish to censor or sanitize that uncomfortable part of Reality. Even worse, in the name of "the children". Now that's grotesque! Not only that but when the kids eventually grow older they'll see how dumb those adults were and rebel accordingly during their adolescence. This happens all of the time and causes much more harm in the long term all because of adults attempting to iatrogenically transfer their own insecurities to the next generation.
I'll bet you're an awesome parent. So there's no doubt in my mind that that you may have dealt with the questions your kids bring up about that dark side of Reality by offering some thought-provoking explanations to let them know that they're not alone from that perspective. The world can only use more parents like you.
The kids are alright. It's the adults and the world itself that's nutz. And reasonable adults are fast becoming a minority within it. :-(
Wow...that's a bummer. I don't want to end on that note. But I don't know of any other way to end this note, other than offering the advice to clear your browser cache. :-)
