Heard about that. I guess they stressed the "friends" thing, rather than using the better term, "Beneficial and best left alone when possible." I guess some Australian kids ran afoul of this?

Frankly, I blame that squarely on the modern misuse/abuse of the word "friend", exacerbated by shit like Facebook, which, after all this time, probably still hasn't added new, common-sense categories like "colleague, acquaintance, Farmville rando." No, dude, a "friend" is not someone who simply deigned to talk to you.
