"what the parents of these kids do is no one's business but their own."

Can't agree with this. Parents let their underage kids drink, drive, do drugs, etc., all with their blessings. There are lots of people out there who have no business being parents and their lack of parenting skills impacts lots of people other than their own kids.

Those boys could have had any kind of theme party that they wanted but they choice "playboy" for obvious reasons and the girls fell for it, hook, line and sinker. No way on this earth would I let my son throw a "playboy" themed party in our home.

And without a doubt, my high standards will be made to look foolish while the parents of the Playboy party boy will look "hip" and fun.

So true. It's clueless parents who want and/or need to be their kids "friend" who don't get the bigger picture. I've observed it's always the parents who want to be their kids friend instead of parent that lose control of their kids.

Parents let their underage kids drink, drive, do drugs,

apples and oranges, tuffy .. I referred specifically to the parents of these kids and what happened on their watch.

These parents allowed no alcohol, had police present as well as parental supervision in place to make sure nothing out of bounds happened.

What is the difference between what actually occurred at this party and a pool party attended by graduating seniors... outside of the fact that the "playboy" theme conjurers up images of events that didn't happen?
