Dark Knight @ noon
While Jen has been chasing down oddballs who bluetooth obscene messages to strangers, I've made some progress on the story about parents who take their babies to see blockbuster films.
Maura Crawley emailed to suggest that film-going parents are guilty of a form of "child abuse", putting their babies' hearing and emotional well-being at risk. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine has told iPM that there may be some grounds for concern and very young infants might be affected by films in ways that adults are yet to understand. Troubling?
A cinema chain has defended its screenings - explaining that volume and content are carefully monitored by cinema managers, in co-operation with parents. Repeat business suggests that parents are pleased with the service.
Also, our website favourites slot this week will showcase the net habits of a household name who admits that when reading about wilderness mauling incidents, he feels sympathy for the bear rather than the victim.
