A new program being beta-tested in a select area of the of UK is using images from popular culture and real life to help children differentiate between what’s real and what isn’t.
The Government-backed “Get Real” campaign is being tried in eight primary schools in the Merseyside area, working with kids ages 9 to 11.
The program hopes to combat desensitisation by helping to reinforce what’s right and wrong in society, by taking iconic imagery from the likes of Grand Theft Auto and the Itchy & Scratchy cartoon.
The scheme appears to have been met with wide spread support, and success, so far, and is expected to expand into Lancashire later this year.
Remember kids, paying a hooker and then killing her to get your money back is a bad thing.
