Strict Parents
I always thought my parents were quite strict, but I can't think of anything they actually banned me from doing, whereas a good friend was under no circumstances allowed to watch ITV because of the adverts.
This week's Time Out mentions some poor sod who was banned from sitting in the aisle seats at cinemas because, according to their mother, "drug dealers patrol the aisles, injecting people in the arm."
What were you banned from doing as a kid by loopy parents?

My parents...
...bought me a ps2 for my birthday... pretty soon after it came out and all... and i was in love with them...but the bastards soon found out i got my nan to buy me a copy of GTA:3 for xmas later that year. not knowing what it was ofcourse. they saw me playing it once and that was it.
vice city came out. i wasnt allowed that.
i could rent it out of choices as much as i liked.... but buy it?! lord no.
even when san andreas came out... a few years ago they said i shouldnt buy it... because of the violence.
worse though... a mate of mine was gonna buuy the xbox versions but his parents read some daily mail thing about some kid probably in far out america... who shot someone and maybe saw gta in the shop the day before or something. so he couldnt at all.
thats the only thing they've been strict on to be honest.
oh and them worrying about me going to london. "the place where everyone tries to throw needles at you and will steal you into the slave trade if you blink."
