Achmed and the iPhone

Jack still can't get enough of our iPhones. He's partial to my attractive wife's because she has loaded more games on it. There are some really cool ones. One is TappyTunes where you can play a number of familiar songs by tapping on the iPhone's screen. There's also a drawing program, a Majong game, and a ball puzzle game. The problem is that Jack keeps touching other icons on the home screen and calling up the iTunes store, texting random people in my attractive wife's contact list, and rearranging the icons on the iPhone's desktop.

Yesterday, after waking up from his nap, my wife gave him her iPhone to play with. When I went up to check on him he had the SMS text screen up and was composing an indecipherable text message to our city's police department (I'm only hoping they don't have the ability to receive text messages).

He's also knows how to access YouTube on the iPhone. For some reason, he keeps pulling this video of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's "Achmed the Dead Terrorist" routine.



It's not at all appropriate for a three year old but he likes the expressive skeleton dummy Dunham uses. He laughs maniacally while watching it. After watching the first few minutes of the video, Jack went around saying, "I'm a terrorist!" Oh boy.

I'm assuming it's bad form to put your own child on a watch list?

It's really not done. So today he managed to pull up a Chris Rock video which, while hilarious, is probably even less appropriate than Ahmed The Dead Terrorist.

He and Evan can compare notes one day about the inappro stuff the adults let them watch as toddlers. I figure our family will help a therapist buy a nice boat or something.
