Less ridiculous to the parents of kids who have taken bad advice that 
they got from social media. Kids don't have good judgement - neither do 
you - but most of them get wiser as the get older and brain development 
settles down. They can't even get married without parental consent.

And most Australian kids can spell the word correctly. Kangaroos are 
wild animals, and can't screw up as thoroughly as kids can. They rarely 
commit suicide or become anorexic.
