Triangle of death

Had Ivo been watching Saddam’s Road to Hell with me, he would have got to see his first snuff video

issue 25 November 2006

‘Dad, Dad, we watched this really funny video at Ozzie and Ludo’s called Dick or Treat. Dad, dad. Daaad? Can I show you, Dad, can I?’ says Ivo, eight, while I’m trying to work on my computer. To make him go away, I try looking up the video at the web address he gives me, but it doesn’t work for some reason, so instead, I half listen, half work while he gabbles away as children do about this really funny video he’s seen.

‘Well, this Frankenstein monster comes to a girl’s house and says “Trick or treat” but she hasn’t got a treat, so he gets his willy out and she bends over and he puts it…!’

WHAT? God, I hate this horrible new world of technology where you can’t leave your kids for five minutes without them dialling up revolting hardcore porn or snuff videos.
