Dispicable Drug References on CBeebies Show

157 replies

SeeNoBeebies · 03/02/2011 18:45

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.

mayor, yes yes yes!! I know exactly what you mean Grin!

Glad it's not just me Blush.

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 03/02/2011 21:42

ok - I've watched that bit about 10 times now, and I'm possibly one of the most anti-druges (especially weed) people on here......

WTF are YOU on OP????? You sure you haven't been smoking some of the old wacky baccy = as you're something that I'm just not getting........

thefirstMrsDeVere · 03/02/2011 22:13

Twat.

If it was about looking for drugs why would they involve the policeman to help them solve the crime.

FFS. Are you the sort of person who clutches their purse to their chest when my OH or DSs walk past you?

Twat twat twat.

You any idea how many times some middle class white person has collared my OH at a party and asked him if he had any weed to sell them?

FFS.

Words fucking fail me. There is no way on this earth that you would think this was a thinly disguised reference to weed if the mice spoke with a non black accent. You know it and we all know it.

Did you think it when you saw the programme on tv or did you have your epiphiny after watching the youtube video? Do a search for 'drugs references in children programmes' and you may implode under the strain of your self rightious indignation.

STANDS UP, APPLAUDS ThefirstMrsDevEre

sits down because I could not add any more to that statement .

thefirstMrsDeVere · 03/02/2011 22:46

OMG I think I have found another one!

If you listen very carefully you might hear the disguised drug references in this one.

WILL SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

MissQue · 03/02/2011 22:56

Manic - you are crackers Grin

manicbmc · 03/02/2011 22:58

I most certainly am. Grin tyvm

MissQue · 03/02/2011 23:00

Manic - you are crackers Grin

Seriously though, my neighbour is a cheese dealer, we have scumbag cheeseheads coming round all times of day and night, they hang around the school playgrounds offering babybels and dairylea, giving the kids the soft stuff to get them hooked. By the time they're in junior school they're onto camembert Sad I've even been offered cheese, and the scumbags told to chill the fuck out when I chased them from my doorstep. Honestly, it RUINS LIVES!!!!! We don't want their types living on our doorsteps - OUT WITH CHEESE PUSHERS!

manicbmc · 03/02/2011 23:02

Hear hear Missque! They are sick. Plus they have started cutting my regular camembert order with primula - the toerags! Grin

weblette · 03/02/2011 23:02

Is this the right place to admit and confess my shhhhh Primula addiction Blush

weblette · 03/02/2011 23:03

Bog off Manic Grin there's nothing wrong with the P stuff, honest.

manicbmc · 03/02/2011 23:04

It's ok. Think you got away with it. Wink

lexxity · 03/02/2011 23:11

MegBusset · 03/02/2011 23:15

Is anyone else reminded of

harpsichordcarrier · 03/02/2011 23:21

My children are too old for cbeebies so I can only say THANK YOU for introducing me to RASTAMOUSE!
he is neat-o

DioneTheDiabolist · 03/02/2011 23:26

I am so glad this thread has started. I also watched Rastamouse this week. I had first heard it as a story told by Lenny Henry (I think).

I remember the stories:there were two of them originally, and I was very effected by what I felt about the language and imagary. I thought that it was just another multicultural story.

But I was wrong. I know find myself eating more Cathedral Extra Strong Cheddar Spread. I eat it more and more. On Tuesday I found myself (totally unexpectately) eating it on toast. On Wednesday, I was putting it on croissants. I have sunk to a new low. I amnow eating it on fruit scones. Fruit scones people.

Fruit
Scones

Ban this bastard. Ban him now.

Dp's sister sent it to us because it is hilarious.

They think it's brilliant, and have forwarded it on to the whole family.

We, and they, are very anti drugs, including alcohol and smoking.

They are also Jamaican.

Hmm
