“I really don’t think they’re the right age. I don’t want to answer questions on what “fa@$ot” means, I don’t want to talk to them about sex yet, or drugs and I should be the one to decide if and when these extremely sensitive issues are dealt with. I don’t want some wannabe artist forcing these issues on me and family!”
Thus said 18 year old AVX Shenoy Jr. reputed to be growing his own cannabis and attempting to break other unenforceable and unnecessary laws.
TACCT insists adults beyond 35 should be banned from some forms of entertainment
The Association of Concerned and Condescending Teenagers (TACCT) has asked the censor board of India to take its job a little more seriously, and has proposed a rigid new system to regulate not only content but also attendance.

“I was watching this play with my middle aged parents. I was tired of just borrowing their money to make them feel loved, so I had decided to spend some quality time. Proceeds from the tickets would go to some perfectly worthy cause which didn’t mean much to me and the play was about Newton for god’s sake. I was sure that at worst it’d have educational tidbits about physics. Instead some ridiculous actor, who clearly couldn’t get a TV show, inserted a homosexual encounter between Newton and his alleged gay lover. My 70-year-old grandmother’s vision and hearing’s a little poor so I could convince her that the man was a woman with a bob-cut who was giving Newton CPR, but my mother’s a little younger and asked a lot of awkward questions, which I think are really inappropriate for her age.
I felt very uncomfortable. What is the censor board for?
Look there’s a certain age for dealing with things like this and even, perhaps, enjoying the sensual content, but that’s okay for people my age, not theirs.
Don’t get me wrong, I think they’re really intelligent for their age and wouldn’t trade them for the world, but they’re just not the right age to discuss these things. Their world-view doesn’t need to be expanded, they’re happy with what they know, and in many ways their happiness is more important to me than my own. Most people think they’re gullible or that I’m being condescending, perhaps, it’s a bit of both, but it’s true. I think they’re incredibly smart for middle-aged people.

“That other judge had the right idea, it’s a shame the ones in the Supreme Court threw out Khushboo’s case. We should set stricter bans on the Internet pre-marital sex and most importantly post-marital sex. I had left my computer unlocked and the history items were visible. My dad was very happy that I was finally looking for a job and clicked on nowhiringsluts.com. I think it scarred him, he couldn’t look me in the eye for a long, long time. I assumed he was just upset that I was surfing porn, but when I finally got him to talk about it a few months later I realized he was frozen with fear that I was considering a sex-change or wanted to be a “performer” or both. I had to spend a lot of time explaining to him that these fears were unnatural and surfing porn was a perfectly normal thing to do as long as no one got hurt. But someone did get hurt. My daddy got hurt. And I think it’s time we limited internet access to people over a certain age. Maybe 45. Yes, that ought to do it.”
It’s not just the Internet and Television. These young people are but the tip of the iceberg. The esteemed judge was indeed in the right. Some younger Indians are concerned about video games and the new MMS craze. The time is nigh that the law stepped in to prevent exposing innocent adults to the real world.
