AIBU?
To be a bit concerned at CBBC using an obvious swearing inference?

Just had to sit here and watch Ds (4) watching a dire programme on BBC1, called 'Stupid'...it's not so much it's a load of rubbish, and to be fair he did enjoy it (or so he said ) but the main character is called (wait for it)
King stupid.
Maybe it's just me but that immediately sounds like an abbreviation of a well known phrase, one which I'd rather Ds didn't repeat in all innocence at preschool...
I am imagining him calling one of the other kids the name, or one of the teachers...as in 'You are so & so and I am so & so' type role play.
(I had to watch it as I'm 40wks+2, look like a whale and cannot move )

I didn't realise either. I saw it too.. we were at my dad's at his nursing home so DD put it on as she didn't have all the usual Sky channels to choose from.. and I did think "'Kin 'ell.. this is 'kin stupid.. thank got for Nick Junir at home!"

think your reading a tad too much into it tbh ...
if any and every King Whatever is short for fu'King then fairy tales and children's stories are going to have to be sadly 'pee ceed'.
If your 4 year old picks up on the King Stupid reference they know too much for their own good (and more than most of us more naieve parents) and if you infer a reference yourself why not just enjoy a childish snigger as it passes way way over your lo's innocent head.
