My worst is addictingames.com I think it horrible that Nick markets this site to kids! There are plenty of things on there that are NOT child friendly!

most of the rest I think is just fluff and useless but that website is NOT for kids IMHO especially the preschool set!

Uh... none of these bother me. Actually, the first one is kind of fun.

They're not the greatest but they won't hurt anyone either.

Have you checked out Addicting games? This site is geared towards preschoolers. So bloody, gory, sex games are ok for that age group?

Like I said I didnt think rest of them were that bad but addiciting games, while fine for adults, that one is NOT age appropriate IMHO

I've been on the site before and I currently have a tab opened to it and it in no way is geared toward kids. It may have been advertised on a kid channel but the site itself isn't.

And if it's advertised on kid channels, I'd have more of a problem with the channel that aired it rather than the website.

I Apologize, I corrected the link. It www.addictinggames.com I was missing the extra G. this is the one that is advertised on and owned by Nickelodeon. At the bottom of the page it says
"Nickelodeon Casual Games"


I think if they are going to have Spongebob, Dora, Kai Lan and other preschool games that they shouldnt allow the violent games to be on the same site.

I don't care for the Barbie fingernail machine and think it discriminates against straight boys.

Other than that, there is nothing wrong with these items.

I'm thinking about the Barbie nails for my teenaged daughter and me. It would save us a fortune on manicures!
Straight boys can use it too. When my boys were little, they used to ask me to do their nails. Now at 34 and 26, they would pass.
