SICK BUT FUNNY
SUPER FUNNY BUT IT'S REALLY NOT!
 
Will on Big Brother had me laughing so much.  
 I was watching - Big Brother - After dark on Show Time &
 I over heard Will talking about how when we were little 
our momma would say, 
 
 "NOW IF SOMEONE OFFERS YOU CANDY, DON'T TAKE IT."
Now they are warning the kids:
"IF SOMEONE OFFERS YOU AN iPOD DON'T TAKE IT." LOL 
Now a days you gotta up the anni - sadly funny stuff. 
 
 


Chocolate is no match for the allure of the iPad.

 
 I thought it was so funny, but sadly true.
I did a little digging & look what I came up with.
A study just on this subject, already took place.
 

A decidedly modern spin on the old "don't accept candy from strangers
 
KEEP READING AND I'LL TELL YOU HOW THIS REAL 
EXPERIMENT WITH KINDERGARTENERS WENT
 
THIS WAS A SET UP TO SEE HOW MANY CHILDREN THIS
 JOURNALIST COULD GET TO FOLLOW HER.
 
A journalist the students had not met was planted in a city park with various lures: chocolate, potato chips, juice and jelled candies. A group of 36 kindergarteners were then led into the park as if it was a normal day of play.
The journalist approached several children, offering them chocolate and other snacks. None of the students took the offer, and in fact oftentimes ran away.
Frustrated by the failure of the snacks, the journalist whipped out her iPad and gave that a shot.
"Would you like to play a game on my iPad?" the journalist asked one little girl, who had previously rejected the snacks.
"Hey, that's just like my Daddy's!" the girl immediately replied. "Let's see if you have the same games!"
Shortly thereafter, the girl was joined by two classmates. "We have one at my house too!" one of them excitedly said. "That game is boring, let's play the car racing game."
To further the experiment, the journalist attempted to lead them out of sight from the main group. "It's too hot here, let's go over there where we can sit in the shade," she said. The students, mesmerized by the iPad, dutifully followed.
 
 In the end, 10 of the students in the 36-child group were lured in. The school professed amazement at the lure of the device  -- though I'm guessing that most parents are not so unfamiliar with the draw of electronic devices like the iPad.
Luckily it was only a test -- but in China where child abduction is an obvious concern, it can only serve as a lesson for children: steer clear of strangers, no matter what they offer you. And it can be a lesson for parents as well -- in the experiment it's apparent that many of these kids were no stranger to the iPad, meaning mom and dad may be giving them plenty of exposure to these devices -- so much exposure that it paves the way for unintended consequences such as this.

Wow! That's amazing, don't you think?   I went from laughing at Will to holly crap! 
So, PLEASE tell your kids to not be lured in by anything including iPads too! 
 
 
I got this story from Beijing Kids.
 
If your a Big Brother fan you missed Will streak into the pool with his sailor hat covering the jewels.  It was his birthday so he had a great party."
