Addictive personalities are going to find something to addict them. It might be drugs or booze or porn, or it might be work or dieting or giving their testimony to people on Saturday mornings (probably the most dangerous of all possible addictions, at least, it is if you're knocking on my door on Saturday morning).

You can't ban life, and there are any number of things in life to which addictive people can become addicted.

BTW, Pirates I & II do have some very nice CGI work in them. The blondes look almost real.

This.

We can't bubble-wrap the world and make it safe for anyone with a problem distinguishing reality from fantasy.
