I'll start by saying I don't care how much cursing is in it, I was just surprised that there was any at all, especially considering the age group that this game is aimed at. Furthering that, "because a 13 year old has probably heard cursing before..." is such a dumb excuse for its inclusion. Any thing that is meant to be professional on any level should be profanity-free. The only time it fits is if it's in character on TV or in a movie. This is not an example of either of those times.

Also that "average-age" bit is such a load. You don't know the average age of a mapler Southperry isn't representative of it, nor is sleepywood (basil is a little more, but even then...). Just because most of the people you know are 19 doesn't make it the average age.

Some of you are missing the points of these videos. These videos are for blockparty! Blockparty is not for little kids. It was clearly stated what their target audience was. So treat the current nexon as blockparty and their target audience as such

Quote:What are kids going to do after they leave Club Penguin?
Nexon hopes they'll hang out at Block Party. Min Kim, Nexon America's Vice President of Marketing,
announced the company's Block Party service, a new brand for its social gaming
portal that will be designed to appeal to a slightly older audience.


Kim made the announcement last week in a presentation about social gaming in which he considered future activities
for Club Penguin gamers, who he calls "bubble babies." Nexon considers
the group the first truly connected generation. Born during the dot.com "bubble,"
he noted they are already playing online social games.

"By 2012 they're going
to be 11, 12, 13," he said, "and the sweet spot for our demo is around 14, 15,
16, and that's not going to happen until 2015. We think that there's going to
be an explosion of social gaming behavior by 2015.
"

So it can have cursing/dirty humor, because that is what most teens are in too. Yea, you may not be in to all of that stuff, but a good majority is. Just like in HS trying to lose your virginty, get your first gf, etc. The list goes on and on. Society already has a set standard on what the older generation needs to like and its being followed. Like boys taking shop in hs instead of art/cooking

Spongebob is a kids show. Did anyone else ever see Sailor Mouth?

I don't mean to say that it set any sort of ground-breaking precedent, but just including the concept of a swear isn't going to destroy a child's mind.
