When a woman in the show tells him that he should keep his penis in his pants, for instance, he listens. Which is nice. He is accountable.”


Well that’s good Hmm

Can just imagine paedophiles using this to groom children

Denmark doesn’t have a version of April Fools Day in January, does it? And the Guardian not realise that this is a joke? Grasping at straws here.

That is quite horrible. A man with no control over his penis, has to be told by a woman to put it away, nope I can't see the funny in normalising males exposing their genitals in public or indeed falling back on women being responsible for checking men's behaviour.

Is this real? Or is Denmark a bit bored?

I'm beyond speechless.
So children are being shown a "funny" man who exposes his penis in public??
Grooming in plain sight.

Sorry but that's hilarious. My DC would roar with laughter.

Though I don't think I could let them watch it as a decent parent.

I don't understand the brass neck of the person who would have come up with and pitched this show.

Just think about the person that thought this up and why.

I think anyone with any common sense at all would hope that to be the case.

The alternative is that enough adults actually thought this was an acceptable concept for a show aimed at children under 8, and not one of them questioned it and that thought is even more terrifying than the TV show.

What the fuck!?

I...I can't believe anyone could think this was appropriate for any child, let alone 4-8 year olds!!

Poor man can't control himself....so what's new?!
Normalising this to children, especially young girls, is a terrible idea....beyond terrible, actually.

I just have no words.

When is this madness going to end?

I think it depends how it's done, I mean kids love books about poos, farts, bums and toilets etc and this could just be a harmless extension of that toilet humor theme and maybe there's something positive they'll get across, who knows. I'm not defending it as I haven't seen it, but I like to keep an open mind.

I can (just about) imagine a situation where this felt innocent and like a teaching opportunity. However, the potential for abuse is so glaringly obvious it's hard to imagine anyone developing the idea!
