Who’d be a parent at a time like this?<\/p>\n

Not only do you have to find new reserves of tolerance, as you try to educate your kids at home, but you also have to pay extra attention<\/a> to the websites they frequent<\/a>. And the apps.<\/p>\n

Bad actors lurk everywhere, not just in porn.<\/p>\n

Talking of which, New Zealand’s enlightened government thought it would take a lighter, but penetratingly incisive approach to getting parents and kids to reconsider online safety, with the help of an ad featuring two naked porn stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These two fine physical specimens arrive at the door of a typical house and ring the doorbell.<\/p>\n

I should add that these are not — at least as far as my extensive, educational online searching tells me — real porn stars. Still, they could undoubtedly pass, at least as far as the director of this ad allows viewers to observe.<\/p>\n

The ad is one of a series in a campaign called Keep It Real Online<\/a>. It tackles cyberbullying, online grooming, and content of a dubious and potentially dangerous kind.<\/p>\n
