That same lesson does not need to involve porn. Maybe I'm crazy for thinking that. But I don't think so. I don't need to show them pictures of bloody bodies smeared on the street to teach them to look both ways before crossing the street.

This is not about showing them. It is about showing you. The reality is that is what the net is like and yes, getting hit on the street is gruesome. There is blood when that occurs. Welcome to life.
I think you missed something in my first comment. I think it was a great message. I liked it. But I already understand all that. The unfortunate part is that it can't be used to show the same great message to kids... the ones that are less likely to already know that. It would be great if someone could edit the content a tiny bit for a non-explicit version. You know... like they do to songs so they can play them on the radio.
Any kid who has anything to gain by watching this has almost certainly already seen more than a few erect penises.
Censorship is a nice, slippery slope.
