Why don't you? I'm saving kids TV - for us all!

Ola! Do you know what this blog needs? Pictures of Shakira naked? Yes, we all need that. But, despite sending her numerous handwritten letters, samples of my own blood, and pictures of my toes with her name written on them in jam, they are still forthcoming. However while we all wait for the lady who is surely the image in which god created eve to let us glimpse her Eden, we will have to content ourselves with this:



How did they get away with that? That's brilliant and it's real, unlike that rainbow parody that litters the net and the urban myth that Captain Pugwash actually had characters called Master Bates, and Roger the Cabin Boy. I think all Children's TV shows should go in this direction and include all manner of smutty innuendo to help keep parents, and early developers, rich in chuckles. It's not a bad thing as 1.)It's Prince not Michael Jackson, so it could have been worse. 2.) The joke goes over the Children's heads anyway, I saw every episode of Animaniacs and didn't twig, and I love smut. And finally 3.) It's funny. The unexpected joke is always funny. Which is why, no matter how high brow you are, you will, at some point in your life, have found a fart hilarious. It's genetic. I propose a quota: A mandatory three innuendos per episode, then parents will have reason not to tear their eyes out while trying to comprehend In the Night Garden (which, by the way, is awesome.) and kids will have something to look back on when they're 20 somethings; using whatever frightening mind powered medium we will have evolved to and say “How on earth did they get away with that?” It's fun to do, I enjoyed the clip above, and so did you. Why deny them that pleasure? We're fucking everything else up for them we could at least give them this. They can't look back on the Teletubbies and say “how did they get away with that?” because the inevitable response would be “because it's shit, it doesn't make sense, the purple one is offensive to gays and the baby in the sun is just creepy.” So for the sake of our kids, let them partake – Let's give them smut!
