Dispicable Drug References on CBeebies Show

[SeeNoBeebies]

I know there has been a long culture of nudge nudge wink wink adult references in kids shows, but this is going WAY TOO FAR.

Just look at the "Spliff" mostion Zoomer makes to the Shop Keeper! Theyre not even disguising the reference well with the obvious "Cheese" = "Weed"

AIBU to lodge an official complaint? I've never made one before but I'm appauled that Liscence Fee Money is being spent on drug humour for kids.

Oh no! A whole generation are going to grow up addicted to ....CHEESE!

Did they specify mild or mature?

Goodness me are these sort of stories still doing the rounds.

Some time ago (few years now) Bill and Ben were accused of swearing , being gay , and because Little Weed was in the middle of them some anal idiot decided that Bill and Ben saying "flobalob" was reference to a suggested threesome.

Think it tells you more about the people who can see or hear innuendo in a childs programme than anything else.
I would love to see the results if some of these anally retentives idiots actually did a Rorschach Ink Blot test .

It's a giggle to put adult insinuation into kids' programmes, always has been, but IMO Rastamouse is just another cartoon, and it's introducing children to people who are rastafarian, the same as Postman Pat has Indian characters these days, and various other children's programmes have characters who are of different racial and ethnic origins. I don't see any harm in it, any programme that introduces kids to music other than the trash that gets in the charts is ok by me :D

I can't breathe.

I can't breaaaaaaaaaaaaathhhhhhhe

Oh dear me. I'm very glad you have nothing else in your life to worry about other than Rastamouse and his cheese/weed. They can spend their Liscence [sic] fee money on whatever they like as long as they continue to keep my kids entertained!

i cant believ how closely you must have been watching that...... i do admit op that it does look a bit like it but even as an adult im not sure i would have noticed so god knows how some 3 year old is going to work it out. surely they are just going to like the colours and the music. Its not like its Floella Benjamin teaching them to skin up

i used to smoke weed...and did a whole two years worth of my uni course studying rasta culture.and i didnt even notice the 'spliff motion' until you pointed it out,i fecking love rasta mouse...DD only watches it because she doesnt want to miss the start of octonauts right after!

@ Loie159's Floella teaching them to skin up!

Spliff motion is kind of...thumb and forefinger together, touched to mouth and taken away again. Hard to explain...but he def does it just when he's asking whether the shop keeper has any cheese. V funny

I missed the 'splif action' first time round and had to read the comments underneath to work out when it was. I can't imagine that your average 3 year old is going to pick up on it.

If you want real factor kids TV - check out this episode of

It's a real episode - check out the CREAM HORN action at the end.

Are you sure good ol' Rastamouse isn't just doing the sign for delicious. You know, the kissing your fingers thang. No?

Oh my gosh HouseOfBamboo - that's FILTHY!!!

Shhhhh...does anyone want to some cheese?

I started on a bit of mild cheddar - the occasional brie on crackers. I thought I could handle it. Then one day, at a wine and cheese party, this friend offered me some red leicester. He told me it would be fine - it was just a bit more 'cheesy'. The taste was divine. I knew it was wrong but I couldn't help myself.

Before I knew it I was mainlining stinking bishop. I spent a fortune on cheese - stinkier the better.

Don't be like me. Don't die of ignorance.

Cheese - just don't do it.

manicbmc, just try a bit again...you deserve a treat...i'll give you it cheap this time...

Must resist..... must stay strong..... need Wensleydale...

I've got some great gorgonzola....

Noooo...

.... is it really stinky?

REALLY stinky. But maybe you can't handle it..?

Yeah... I can handle it. I have crackers.
