I think it will make it more difficult to control what the children listen to and the access to filth will be made too easy.
This is just my opinion, however if GAP has devised a way to control what is being transmitted through these radios then i think it is indeed a cool idea otherwise i think they should reconsider marketing their creative inovation.
The other guy was right, the kids are going to get their "bad
music" anyway. Most kids (teens through fairly young) have a
"boom box" or some other type of stereo in their possesion, and
they listen to whatever they want.
So what's a hoodie with a radio in it? At least it'll get kids out of
the house and more active. Which is what we really need.
Also, contrary to belief, music isn't bad. I bet you're the same
type who'd blame Marilyn Manson for the kids with guns in
schools. Manson isn't to blame, family life is. And so's society.
Canadians have the same violent video games, music, and
movies, yet you almost never hear of any homocides in Canada.
As far as the "filth," the FCC is doing a pretty good job to make sure that nothing goes on the radio anymore. I would be more concerned with the other commenters' suggestions (internet, television, etc). Give the vicious conservatism a rest.
