SewingApe<p>And why do they keep adding kids to the story? It's always the same: a kid gets involved in a car race with guns until death, or accidentally ends up on an island full of dinosaurs. Of course, it's a rebellious teenager. But some adults who don't even know the kid have a soft spot for the idiot, and everyone keeps doing stupid things all the time. And somehow, these projects get the green light!
