Let's Scare The Shit Out Of Kids!


...or at least that must be what Stardoll is trying to do! In the online book series, Mortal Kiss, we explore the world of Winter Mill. (Note that the story is aimed for 11+ year olds) The plot is essentially all about werewolf attacks (or at least that's what I'm guessing). So, it's risky enough bringing a story about death into the minds of children, but once you start drawing dead bodies, you know you've gone too far.
In the story, you can actually visit different scenes from the story, including a place called 'The Mill'. Inside The Mill, you see a man sitting in a chair, tied up, with blood (or chocolate syrup...) dripping down the side of his mouth. And oh does it get better! You can also visit a place called 'The Morrow Mansion'. In the mansion, there is a mirror when, if you click it, shows a gruesome image of a hand falling against the mirror (as if from the other side) and slowly sliding down. Creepy! And also, if you see blood in the snow, there is a secret message for you to read.
I just don't understand this, and they should at least make it PG13, even though that won't stop anyone.
The point of this was to a. post something, and b. point out Stardoll's evilness (its a joke). To me, this sounds like a gruesome version of Twilight...but I could be wrong considering I don't read the series!
(Psst...want to see unreleased graphics for Channel 99? Stay tuned!)
