Channel One’s Web Site Is Cause for Alarm
From Jim Metrock: The infamous Channel One web site is worth a visit by parents, teachers and anybody that cares about children. When channelone.com first got started it was a horror house of revolting features. Channel One had chat rooms where children could meet up with anonymous Internet users and they could go into “private rooms.” A child was asked for personal information as they signed on to these dangerous chat rooms. All this stopped after months of protesting by Obligation.
Channel One reviewed R-rated movies for its young visitors. They reviewed and rated explicit CDs. They published an article that told kids how to cheat on a book report. They gave kids sex advice. All this ended because the public was finding out about Channel One’s outrageous idea of a “children’s web site.”
Now after a year of having a ghost town for a web site, Channel One is coming out swinging. A new crew at channelone.com has evidently been given free reign to get kids to the site and to start getting advertisers signed up.
This, of course, will cause Channel One to lose even more schools. Pay a visit to channelone.com and check out the contests.
