Pressure Building (Literally) Among British Boys

A recent poll conducted by Ofsted found that nearly 2/3rds of British children prefer having adult supervision when using the internet. The surveyed group consisted of individuals from various social backgrounds between the ages of 4 and 20. For the sake of all that is normal, let us hope that these results are skewed by an abundance of young girls in the sample population.

No male who has reached puberty could possibly want his parents by their side while surfing the interweb (unless the kid has some Oedipus-type relationship with his folks). When I was a teenager, computer time equalled alone time. I think my right bicep actually grew three inches larger in diameter than my left during high school. If you are a London bloke between the ages of 13-20 and have no urge to watch porn, I hope you are getting laid by a smoking hot British chick (who are about as common as basketballs stars from the UK...I'm looking at you, Neil Fingleton). Otherwise, you are wasting all the time you are stuck inside due to cold, rainy weather. No wonder so many Americans think their UK counterparts are gay.
