I was particularly amused by Marge Simpson’s book in the Ricky Gervais episode of the Simpsons, called ‘Hip Punishments’. As a result of reading it she threatened the children with such dire punishments as:

- Blocking the MAC address of your PC on the wireless router
- Enabling parental control on the Sky Digital box
- Banning MySpace on the family firewall
