...That has a serious chance of being my new desktop background, heh. It also brings two questions to mind for me though.

1) What does 'Sukebe' on the one magazine cover mean?
2) Towards the bottom, above where Bulma's strawberry panties are...is that Colonel Violet in a hot spring? When did THAT happen?

No, that's Fan Fan, the girl Kame and Tsuru are lusting after back in the past when they're young men. It's in the episode where God sends Goku back in time to train with Mutaito.
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

Ohhh, all right. I remember that now. I didn't remember her looking that much like Violet, but maybe that's just the size of the picture. Thanks Gaffer.

Why do people keep responding to me like I said that only media is at fault?

If their child can't tell the difference between what's real and not, than either they haven't done their job as a parent and not taught them to do that (or not allowed them to have 'inappropriate' materials if they can't tell the difference), or there's a greater problem that already exists. Entertainment can be a trigger, yes...but not the cause. And seeing as how anything can be a trigger, it still feels off to me to blame something for existing.
While it's true that anything can be a trigger (well, not everything, but a lot of things), some triggers are stronger than others and need to be dealt with accordingly. Video games, to use one example, aren't just a couple of dots on the screen like they were in the Atari days -- they're now incredibly vivid and detailed. And I'm not blaming them. I like video games, but I recognize that there are negative side affects associated with them. It's not all good/bad, black/white. The solution isn't to ban violent video games, but to make them less accessible to young people to mitigate the side effects. That's where, as you said, parents come in. But it's also schools, government regulations etc.
