I'm sorry for the kid, I really am, but that was.. stupid.
Me and my older brother used to play games that weren't safe either, like the good old Lava game. (Leaping from couch to couch, to avoid stepping on the ground, which was gameover because it was Lava), and it was fine.
Heck, my brother used to play games with his Ninja Turtles, where he would like, impale them on swords, and have Shredder kill some of them off. But the news never went "OMFG NINJA TURTLES ARE RUINING OUR COUNTRY"
While this is really sad and unfortunate, that little bit about "How scary the show is", and how it is basically ruining children, made me mad. The kids were playing a game, that's all. They didn't realize it would not allow the kid to breath, it was just another game. Heck, on to the poweranger thing, I used to do cartwheels outside on a CEMENT driveway, to immitate the pink ranger. It was dangerous, but it was just another kid thing.
But, anyway, why it was unfortunate, the news didn't have to throw in their own opinion with it. America, or possibly the entire world in general, has become way to fearful of EVERYTHING, that makes life enjoyable.
