Very good lol, I liked the bit about the bright coloured daglo clothes and the dummy around their neck....
Cheers for the laugh.....:D

The comments over there are truly scary. It seems the vast majority of those readers took the article seriously albeit it should be blatant clear that it's a joke when you're half-way through it. Well, I've seen it before with other jokes. I always hope those are just uneducated kids and not adults.

Quite funny: the first clue was that the father went out and *bought* Photoshop.

This was the best paragraph

8. Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.

Still, I can imagine many "adults" fueling their fears by taking the parody seriously.
