I've recently seen some of the "newer" LEGO boxes and I was appalled. I mean, what does it have to do with LEGO when you get like 4 parts that you have to link together, and which you can't put together any other way than how it's intended?

As much as I don't want ten replies with links to anatomical Lego designs, there seems a higher chance of your daughter being attacked by Yog Sothoth than animated penii.

I would have agreed with you that MMOs are inevitably 'tainted', but Disney's Toontown is an outstanding example of a fun MMO that is totally child-safe. I was amazed at the unobtrusive yet secure protections that they have in place, yet it remains a really quite a fun game.
So I wouldn't say it's impossible. Difficult? Especially if you hand them freeform construction tools, yes. But I would no longer say impossible.
