Elementary School Assembly Turns Into Smut Screening

As if raising your kid in Williamsburg wasn't close enough to leaving them on the set of Caligula, now we learn that even schools in the hip Brooklyn neighborhood can't keep children protected from getting a crash course in adult education. The Post reports that a "hard-core porn" was accidentally screened to children grades K through 5 at PS 17. Students were gathered in the auditorium for a "film festival" screening of the Jonas Brothers' Camp Rock, historic for being one of the first times the tween pop group has appeared on the festival circuit. But when the movie played on the jumbo screen, it seemed like an even more momentous moment—the Jonas Brothers turning in their promise rings! Children were shown 45 seconds of "a topless woman and sex acts" until a teacher ripped the plug out of the wall. One parent told the Post, "My daughter is 6 years old; she doesn't need to see that. I don't even like to kiss in front of her because I think she's too young. So I'm very angry." The school is investigating just who was behind the video switch.

A lot of these kids were breastfed - they've seen titties before!

As for the lady who doesn't kiss her husband in front of her kids - I feel really sorry for him! He probably spends a lot of money on internet porn and/or strippers and/or prostitutes!

I think those exposed to the Star Wars kid are more traumatized.

Bet you it was 5th grader - a kid in my class pulled a similar prank many years ago w/ a VHS tape.... We also used to fast forward the tape when the teacher wasn't looking. Fun times

Really not a big deal. Kids are exposed to far worst things.

Many countries are much more liberal when it comes to sex in the media yet their levels of teen pregnancies and STDs are much lower.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s really not ideal to expose young kids to hardcore porn, yet it happened and its not a big deal...

This is why all AV should be done though limited computer access, with permission based file structures. No DVD players No VCR No ways of messing up!

Everyone is in a tizzy, yet kids get exposed to this porno:

on a daily basis on billboards and the subway, but no one tries to stop it or even complain to the whoremonger Klein?

The movie clip was likely an accident. This porno was purposeful and still people buy CK crapware.

Some priorities need to be re-aligned.

It's always shocking to me how little sense people have for sarcasm. Hoodlum post @ #2 - sarcasm, people. sarcasm.

We were watching the Outsiders in middle school when all of a sudden a close up of a guy masturbating under a table comes on the screen. My shocked teacher went to hit a button and got the fast forward, which really got the pump action going.

Ends up it was a kid in the AV dept. taping himself. His punishment involved his parents coming into school to watch the video. It may not have been so obvious who it was if he wasn't wearing the same flannel shirt he wore every day in the video.

Rocknrope

Did he finish?

FAIL.

Hmm, I know the schools distributed panty liners to the girls last week as part of the "Your Wondrous Body" rubbish; this is rather a jump from that, eh?

According to hoodlum above, 6 year old girls watching Jenna Jameson getting plundered by a small army is appropriate viewing material for kids. (his future jail bound kids)

On a related note, his mom should have swallowed.

"Jenna Jameson getting plundered by a small army"

So, the Bosnian Army came to her house and robbed her?

Not to be a grammar nazi here, but "plundered" means ROBBED, usually in the context of wartime looting.

I think you are referring to what is known in the porno biz as a "gangbang" i.e. many men having sex with one woman.

FYI, my daughter is just 11.

hoodlum:

these kids are k - 5th grade. Im not sure were you went to school, but i dont remember anyone getting it on during nap time in my grammar school

"I don't even like to kiss in front of her "

Now, with a mother like that, that is going to be one messed up young lady.

al oof

yeah, and i bet they'll blame the 45 second of porn for any intimacy problems she has later, instead of her crazy mom.

on the other hand, maybe this mom does some really seriously down and dirty kissing.

does the mom not kiss her kid?

CR

"I don't even like to kiss in front of her because I think she's too young."

I'm more upset by that comment than anything else in this story.

NannyState

I imagine her next move will be...to Park Slope.

ianmac47

Wow, that poor kid is going to have some serious issues with future romantic relationships if the mother is too tight to even kiss in front of it.

Jen S

For real...sounds like my mom. "I don't like to show emotion, because then she'll expect it."

Clarice City

Sounds like mom has an icicle lodged up her ass.

ANGRYGOD11

Sounds like Mommy really isn't into Daddy anymore.

On the positive side, maybe Mommy like to kiss someone else in front of her little girl.
