"Juno" is something they'd love also (they like the soundtrack CD a lot), but it's just the wrong side of adult. Sorry, kids.
lol juno would just confuse/bore kids I think

i wonder about this sometimes, especially when everyone in 5 years time will have mobile internet with them wherever they go.

the only "inappropriate" thing we let our 5-yr-old see is the colbert report, which he has loved since he was about 2 -- i don't know why, i think he likes the music in the opening credits and then he likes the energy of the show (the cheering, laughing) and thinks colbert is entertaining to watch. he has no idea at all what any of it is about, and doesn't appear to care. one side effect is that he tends to become a fan of any musicians who play on there. that's how we spent half of last year listening to green day.

My kid said he liked the song from the new Karate Kid trailer - Remember the Name, by Fort Minor, a linkin park side project - so I downloaded it for him. But I googled the lyrics first and had a last-minute attack of being my own mother and bought the censored version. Am I everything that is wrong with the world?

no. your kid is young and you don't want to expose him to crap he couldn't benefit from anyway. plus, it's not like you're censoring high artistic achievement. and you're aware of what you're doing. don't worry.
