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.

Lmao @ crack den.

I think we're going to need a cheese emoticon now.

ROFL Falsemessage

And speaking Rasta? Yes, I'll add that to my daughter learning to 'speak' Scottish, Australian etc.

Thank you OP, this has caused much hilarity all day.

Mmm yes a nice cheese emoticon to go with the

Brie and pinot grigio anyone?

of course we need a cheese emoticon - to go with the

Sounds yummy manicbmc, count me in!!

If anyone feels they have been affected by watching the cheese episode perhaps they had better watch this to counteract it

Just Say No...

Bertie - can you start one of those phonelines, 'If you feel you have been affected by the cheese eating in this programme...'

Thankyou Bertie for that very important public information film.

I am now a reformed character and will never again savour the delights of the cheeseboard.

Rastafarianism has a distinct vocabulary en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafari_vocabulary
I for me, I-and-I etc....

Yes of course, I since remembered I and I etc. It's very confusing!

OP - please find your spellcheck function...then use it.

Oh pigs. Of course patois not rastafarian. I really see no need for children who are still getting to grips with their own language to speak patois, French? yes Spanish? Yes...

If a child is watching it so often that they pick up Patois then surely the problem is with how much tv the kid is watching anyway? If you say there shouldn't be a programme with that accent then what about Welsh or Irish?

I mean, really?

I shall only speak with received pronounciation from now on so as not to confuse anyone.

It's on for 12minutes 5 days a week. I'd be incredibly impressed with a kid that learnt patois from it!

Most kids round here seem to spend their time trying to talk in patois anyway...

Maybe the program is to help them talk to their older siblings?

Well, I watched Rastamouse the other day, then tried to lick the screen while Big Cook, Little Cook was on. Afterwards In The Night Garden came on and I swear I could see giant balloons lumbering towards me in the woods. Strange shit that cheese does to you.

I have more issues with the 37th episode I think so far, about aunty mabels poo.

My DS3 has been watching the trailer. He waits till the end and joins in with the bit where Rastamouse says 'Irie'.Ironically he is my one boy who hasnt got dreadlocks (apart from the baby).

Which is sweet. I have no problem with him knowing a bit of Patois. How silly that it would be charming if a child said 'bon' but its horrifying if they say the equivilant in a carribean dialect.

I actually had a mouse called Irie. He was white with a pink nose

:) at MrsDeVere's mouse

There is little more cringy than white middle class people trying to speak like they're from Jamaica - but I think with the advent of Rastamouse the battle is lost.

I watched Rastamouse today because of this thread. Orphans? Being taught to swim by the mayor?

stands on street corner shouting "I got that Stinking Bishop"

Cheese jokes I heard the other day -

How do you entice a bear out of the woods?
Come on bear

Which cheese do you use to hide a horse?
Mask a pony!!!

They won't make it onto rastamouse... far to controversial.

For the first time I am really upset that I am allergic to the yellow stuff, we can send rockets into space but why not make cheese we all can enjoy, I'll go back to my crack pipe and sob over a pack of Chames.
