They must be using HCI terminology for kid, 14-26.

Well one of the Canadian TV channels gave a teaser for their 6pm News (Loydd Robertson is the ancor), saying that they are doing a story that stated that "more sex on TV could be good for your kids." I guess Colombia watches Canadian News.

Someone needs to get ahold of that organization at once! There are hundreds of kids in the Bronx that need immediate entertainment!

Wow. I can't even get my kid to look at the cocktail waitresses when we have to run into a casino! He'd be flabbergasted if something like that occured!

HCI? Not familiar with that, and all I can find for it is "Human Computer Interface". :confused:

If the kids in Colombia are anything like me, then, yes, they are being entertained.

And how old are you? I still want to know what the age/maturity of the "kids" was. Somehow I doubt that 6-12 year olds (my definition of kid) would be much interested. Well, maybe some of the 11 and 12 year olds who are looking to start early, but the others probably wouldn't pay too much attention.

I'm 17 now, but when I was 6-12 that kind of entertainment would have entertained me.

The kids look a bit stoned to me. And a little too old to be called kids. Teenagers maybe.

Glue sniffing. That's what it said at any rate.

Thanks for the link. Yes, a bunch of glue sniffing teens aren't what I'd call children.

They look more like 13-15, no longer kids. Teenagers would be interested, but I still think that this was more some guys who wanted to have someone else pay for their jollies. Or maybe it started as a joke when someone asked for a way to entertain the kids, and then from their someone took it seriously and before anyone was fully aware of what was happening the forms had been filed and there was nothing for it.
