How Children's Brains Soak in Shocking News Stories (12 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       20 Apr 2011       15140       15 GALLERY VIEW

All these pictures of kids might seem innocent at the first glance. But if you study them for a little longer you’ll start to wonder how modern media can influence and stuck in children’s brains.

 

Photographer Jonathan Hobin spent 4 years working on this project titled In the Playroom. He wanted to show adults that our kids cannot escape shocking news stories nowadays as such events incalculably influence our society and even change it.

These 12 images were exhibited in Canada getting massive explosure and being highlighted in various media around the world later on. Each photo will remind you of a scandalous event that took place in our lives.

Yeah, because kids obviously have all these toys and are able to put on make up professionally. I agree, sick dream of a photographer. It's one thing to see the news media, it's another to subject the kids to the reality of it.

Weird how these kids all have really good props in order to make political statements. They all are obviously from rich parents.

@Major Pain

I knew about Jim Jones when I was a kid and I wasn't alive then either. Pop culture references on television and ish brought it up and I looked it up out of curiosity.

And it looks like everyone is really missing the point of these pictures.

I really liked these shots! How most of the kids are looking into the camera, the lights, all the small and bigger details, the lightning..!

I also like that the surroundings are mostly made from toys and kids' eqipment. They are a bit absurd, but I guess that's the point :) And I doubt these kids where models against their will... :)

Andrea - Awwww, sis this makes me be all missing you and stuff. You were way fun to hang with.As far as putitng a big pic in your house, I like all of them but I'll vote for Country Roads. Actually, I kinda think the best pic to blow up to wall mural size would be Intercourse Pretzel Factory. That's just funny. Awesome pics. You are amazing! xoxo
