Internet Dragons are Coming to Destroy Your [Japanese] Children.

Lately, in the media in Japan, like the media in America, the evil Internet and its corrupting and dangerous effect on children [you know, by exposing them to the world] is getting the hard sell.

And I can only decipher a bit of the Japanese in the morning meetings at school, but the dangers of the 'net are getting play there as well.

The poster to the right went up a couple weeks ago, and you can clearly see how the Internet leads to guns and drugs.

But the other day, this ended up on my desk.

The "Moral Guidebook" for dealing with the Internet.

[How very Mao.]

But take careful note, in the upper left corner, on the cover, of the Internet Dragons that are coming for your children.

I love Japan so much sometimes.
