A Chicago reviewer said that his showing of Team America: World Police was infested with children. Didn't the parents pay attention to the fact that this film was nearly rated NC-17?

oh man, that reminds me of something. I found this as more one of those messed up things parents do than a hate, but if i were these kids i would have been hating it. So im working a trade show in DC on saturday, its basically a health food show so you have mainly store owners coming to it (I work for a company that sells point of sale). So anyway, a lot of these store owners will bring there kids, which is all well and good, but this one lady had like 5 kids in tow and i would say age 4-8 maybe. So you know those kid leashes that you sometimes see parents have on their kids? Well this was kinda like that but instead she had 4 of the kids with strings tied around their wrists and tied to each other (so left hand to right hand, and they were 'chained' together like this) and they were walking behind the mother, well besides the fact that it really didnt look like the mother was making sure her kids were following (which they were) from booth to booth the youngest kid wasnt tethered in, i guess she trusted the 4 year old the most. And then they almost leave the kid because 3 of the 4 kids start walking while the other one is trying to get the youngest kids hand but is getting pulled away.

anyway, i dont know what the point of telling that story was, other than it just seemed wrong to do that to the kids, and it kinda relates to the crazy things parents do.
