When Texting turns to Sexting, A News Report -- h3h3 reaction video

Guys, here I have some very, very recent

news

. It's called "How Teens Went From Texting to Sexting." And it's really important for parents, educators, and anyone who works with children to know to check out this article. This is probably the most important

news

of the last century. Well? So all of you parents, all of you who have little, you know, brother, sister... all of you who are waiting, and even you, the children who... even the children who say "no, no" to the bad things. Even you kids who say "uh-uh. I don't think so" to bad things.

Good for you by the way. You are the Children of America. (Intro music starts) (Hila) Ethan? (Ethan) No! That? (Hila) Are you

texting

again? (Ethan) No, I'm not

texting

. I'm just sending something to Sean, it's not... it's not pornographic. (News Anchor) All those messages may not be as innocent as you might think. (Ethan) Hila, this is not for you, stop being a detective, Hila! I just said... (Interviewee) I just put "LOL" and "haha" in every text message. (Ethan) Uh, I... it's none of your business! Why don't you leave me alone and give me some privacy? (News Anchor) The story about

sexting

has to be heard to be believed. (Interviewee) Oh my God! (Ethan) --privacy!

Arrest! Following me! Turn it off! (The door slams.) "How Teenagers Go From Texting" "To Texting!" How does that happen? How is that change made? It's easier than you think, guys. We will find out now. (News Anchor) Wake-up call to parents: Do you know what text messages your kids are sending these days? All those messages may not be as innocent as you might think. In fact, we want to warn you: the language is explicit. News Channel 36 host Bobby Sisk with a story about

sexting

you have to hear and believe. "Hello parents. Don't you mistrust your children enough?" “Well, let me tell you, Bobby Sisk,” “why you need to trust them even less.” "Do you invade your children's personal space?" "Well, let me tell you why you need to invade it even more." "Is it okay?

Your kids are in danger... right now." "Are you afraid... are you afraid of enough things in your life? Well, not enough." "Let me tell you why you're not afraid of enough things in your life. This is Bobby from News Channel 36." "Do you distrust your children? Do you want to sow deep-rooted distrust and disrespect toward authority? Well, this is Bobby Sisk," "and I'll tell you how to do it." "They have to draw their weapons and shoot them in the stomach, where it hurts." "They trust you too much." "Hey, I'm Bobby Sisk and I'm here to tell you that your kids trust you too much." "They care about you." "They're in these, uh, really, you know, fragile teenage years.

Well, let's take them out and screw them!" (Ethan Klein Cough™) (Bobby Sisk) --36 host Bobby Sisk with a story about sexting you have to hear, believe. All new at 6. (Black Eyed Peas playing) I have to understand. (Ethan) Gotta get that ass. (Reporter) --texting, or you have a teenager, you probably know that "LOL" means "Laugh Out Loud"-- (Ethan) I know. Do you know it well? HA HA HA. (Reporter) --or that "OMG" means "oh my God." That's pretty common, that's pretty common. I recognize that acronym. (Interviewee) I just put "LOL" and "haha" in every-- (Ethan) (Imitating the woman) "Hawhaw." (Interviewee) --text message. (Reporter) But what about "RUH?" (Ethan) Uh...

I don't have anything. What is RUH? I've never heard of that. I'm pretty modern. A very modern young man, you know what I mean? I know acronyms and shit, I've sent my share of text messages. (Reporter) --"PIR" or "GNOC?" (Ethan) I've literally never heard of any of those. (Reporter) The translations of these text messages may surprise you. RUH: "Are you horny?" (Ethan) WOO-hoo hoo! Curse! This is a dangerous place to be a kid, man! With acronyms like that. It's a dangerous time to be young with acronyms like that. "Are you horny?" Wow, that's one step away from rape. (Reporter) PIR: "Parents in the room." GNOC: "Get naked on camera." This is the secret language of sexting, the acronym that teens use to send sexually explicit messages that teachers... (Ethan) Code Nine! (Reporter) --and mom and dad can't understand. (Ethan) You know, I didn't really recognize any of those acronyms, but I'm surprised there aren't... more ones I've heard of that are really... explicit, that I've personally used. and seen used a lot.

For example, this: GMTPB. Which means: "Give me the pussy please... Boss." (Interviewed, distorted) Oh my God! (Ethan) There's also the SDPP, which is "Send the dick pics please." (Interviewee) I could never understand these things. (Ethan) And that's one that I use very commonly. And it actually has a very high success rate if they're looking for something to send. There is one that is a big secret for parents: that is JPNDTS. Which is, "I just pushed Nan down the stairs." (Interviewee) This, I would have no idea. (Ethan) And that one is really... really helpful for me, and I know a lot of people I know, because I can't stop pushing my fucking incompetent grandmother down the stairs.

I mean that bitch loves cartwheels! JPNDTS! I just pushed Nan down the stairs! Put that on the news! It is important to

report

it! I just pushed Nan down the stairs! And mom doesn't know because she can't read my initials. It's top secret. But there is the most scandalous of all, and I haven't even mentioned it to you yet. Are you ready for the most outrageous acronym of all time? HHYSJDHNCS. "Hey, have you seen Jeff Dunham's new hit comedy series?" (Interviewed) Atrocious. Very adult. I wouldn't have any clue... (Distorted) clue... --clue. (Distorted) Oh my God! Terrible, frankly.

Here's a favor for all the parents at home: write it down so you know

when

your kids are up to no good. (Interviewee) I could never understand these things. (Ethan) That's because it's not a real acronym! They didn't show everything. "Man, I never would have been able to figure this stuff out." "Hey, where did you get this? These aren't... are they real acronyms?" "Hey..." "Hey, what's this list?" "'Hey, will you please put your balls on top of your penis, take a picture and send it to me?'" "Hey, that doesn't seem like a real acronym, it's weirdly specific." "Are real?" Look, they don't show you the end of that conversation. "I will never be able to understand this!" "'Put your balls on top of your dick'.

What? Why would anyone want to see that?" Guys, what is this? What are you showing here? "How was your day?" "Get naked on camera!" That's not a real conversation. I don't know of any conversation that follows that line. What's... what's the hole in the story here, man? Do you want me to distrust my children? Or...or is it just a hoax? To make me... instill fear and generate an audience? Is that what's happening? (Reporter) --list of fifty sexting codes, including the number eight, which means oral sex. Oh! Does eight mean oral sex? I missed it! I've been sending eights to everyone I know.

That's very embarrassing. Wow. That's very embarrassing. I've been sending eights to everyone I know. All my life. (Ethan) Hi Hila, do you want to have eight? Do you want to do about eight later? (Reporter) "LMIRL: See you in real life." And many more. Many I can't-- (Ethan) "Many more. And many--" "--many more." "Many, many, many more explicit acronyms from a chat room--" "--from over ten years ago on an AOL forum--" "--that has over ten visitors since 1993." "Much, much, more." (Interviewee) Oh my God! (Ethan) Wow, look at that sassy edit! They played a

video

on the damn phone, man!

How did they do that? I didn't know we had that technology to do that! They put this

video

, like it was in... in the text chat. That? When did we get that technology? Wait a second. Could you put a video in the... in the text chat? Are they special effects or did they really do that? Hold on! Who put this together? Did James Cameron do this segment? I think James Cameron did this segment... or wait, was it Michael Bay? He was one of those two! (He hits the desk, indignant.) This is a low-budget news

report

! How did they get special effects like this?!

That is irresponsible spending. Bring in Michael Bay to produce your… article “Teens Go From Texting to Texting.” (Interviewee) --and how extreme it has become, and-- (Reporter) Dr. Linda Harper is a psychologist specializing in adolescent issues and also teaches at Queens University of Charlotte. She's heard from parents concerned about sexting, though surprised by some of the explicit acronyms on this list. (Harper) Very adult. (Ethan) "Very adult." "This list you just showed me from the AOL chat room in 1995..." "...are very adult." "Very pornographic." "What do you want me to say again? It's v... oh, yeah. It's very adult." "This is very adult." (Harper) It slightly borders on, um... in my opinion, uh, softcore porn. (Ethan) Does it?

You know what soft porn is. You gotta see tits, dude. And sometimes, sometimes, on a very special occasion in softcore porn, you get to see a dick! Now we're talking about lyrics on a phone. Do you want to talk to me about soft porn? I mean, it doesn't even go in! (Reporter) Harper says parents can't afford to be naïve. Think about it this way: (Harper) You don't give a sixteen-year-old car free rein and say "unlimited miles, unlimited gas, done." (Ethan) Mm-hm. (Harper) Let them know, you know, no drinking or driving, please don't have people I don't know in the car with you... (Ethan) Yes! (Harper) The same can happen with phone and computer use. (Ethan) Exactly.

That's what I'm saying, parents. You have to... you don't have to give your kids phones! You need to block them... okay? You have to put them all back on the pager. (Reporter) --skeptic and, if necessary, detective. (Harper) Letting the child know, "Hey, randomly, um, unexpectedly, I'm going to ask for your phone." "So be prepared for that." (Interviewee) This is something terrible! (Ethan) (Laughs) Spy on your kids, guys. Randomly raid their room to show them that you don't trust them. OK? Look at their private messages, because... ...they're obviously doing... explicit things. “Oh…” “Oh man, I have to get my kids’ phones.” "That's not weird or fucking possessive." "Oh, I have to get on my kids' phones and see what they've been texting." "Probably..." "It doesn't matter if I'm invading their privacy, I just need to see if they're talking about dirty, naughty, sexy things." "Because kids... because teenagers aren't supposed to talk about it." "Hey, what's your age?

Nine? Here's a gun." "Oh, let me, let's go to the range with my nine-year-old son and--" "--let's shoot auto--, uh, fully automatic rifles." "Oops, I shot the instructor in the face. My nine-year-old daughter shot the instructor in the face. Oops!" That happened, guys! In the meantime, check out their phone and make sure they're not sexting, because that's really what's important. Ugh... (Reporter) While texting is a difficult topic for many parents, (Harper) I think it's a wonderful opportunity to open the dialogue... (Ethan) Open your eyes more! (Harper) --with his son. (Ethan) Every time he has sex, his eyes open less.

She seems more normal. Does she have sex within a year? She looks normal like this. She had sex last week, she's so fucking chill, dude. But more than a year? That bitch's eyes widen. She starts talking about "she's so grown up. He's sooo grown up." Oops! I just texted you! This text just became a text message! Don't let your parents see this! See you next time, guys. Remember: (Black Eyes Peas starts playing) (Interviewee) Terrible. (Harper) Very adult. (Interviewed) --I even have a clue. (The music distorts a lot, it slows down) (Interviewed) Terrible.
