Fairy stories are generally toned right down from the original folk tales they stem from. Shhe'd bab her pants if she read them. Anyway, I'm busy making signs for the bottom of bean stalks. "Do not climb. There may be giants". Actually, early intervention could be better, I'll flog my labels to bean producers. Right, while I work, I best think of one about the dangers of walking under eggs on walls. Hmm.
Just relayed this post to Mrs. LBIA, her reaction, a deep intake of breath followed by a long sigh, followed by 'the world's gone mad, the world has gone mad'. Me, I really really detest politically correct ****ing snowflake ****ers like this stupid woman in the HDM story, I just wish they'd all **** the **** off and get a ****ing life. As you may gather, neither of us were impressed.
I heard this story and thought it was a joke...Have these idiots nothing better to do than come up with this $hit?..How's she going to explain Aladdin and that Widow Twanky is a bloke playing a woman...whilst Aladdin is a bloke played by a girl....**** sake, the poor kids head will burst.
I find the 'Three little Pigs' story particularly distasteful. Now ok, there's a 'big bad wolf'. But Wolf's get hungry like everyone else. Did the wolf have to burn to death though? THE WOLF BURNED TO DEATH!
Richard Digance made a good point. Rock a bye baby on the tree top, When the wind blows, the cradle will rock, etc... That's all well and good, but what worries me, is who through the baby up in the tree.
Good job her lad doesn't go to my son's School, he's doing French and got a speaking test coming up. His teacher says his weakness is his French accent, not authentic enough, well hello, he's from Yorkshire and got a deep voice! so teacher has recommended for revision he watches & listens to Allo Allo!! Never seen him so enthusiastic about revision!! (He is older than her lad though!)
Is that the same Mickey Mouse who calls his mate “Goofy”? Now that is picking on buck teethed ugly ****ers. And he also calls his girlfriend Minnie, shouldn’t she really be called vertically challenged mouse?
I had it worse than that, I woke up after one night in Trog Bar laying next to my future wife, and she certainly wasn’t the raving nymphomaniac I had chatted up only 8 or so hours previous....
To quote Gervais: “ what’s the moral of Jack and Jill? Don’t fool around behind your wife’s back or you’ll get your head caved in?”
I say ban Punch and Judy. The story line, the violence....Punch's hooked nose....The bent copper. Its a disgrace... It should come with one of those warnings..'Anyone watching this may be distressed by the scenes you are about to see...' I hear this all the time on TV, especially on PCBBC, but haven't seen anything remotely shocking....maybe except for the occasionally ugly mug.
I had to cover Foundation Stage last week and one of the focus groups was watching Tinga Tales. There was something racist about it, I just couldn’t work out what.
