DD loves fruit, but has recently refused to eat more than one bite of an apple, Because sportecus only eats one bite of his sports candy. AARGGHhhh

I have the problem with DS1 who thinks he doesn't need to eaat real meals because Sportacus doesn't. Have tried explaining that you just don't see sportacus eating his dinner.

kiltycoldbum · 17/07/2008 14:44

and he goes to bed in his clothes, doesnt wash and doesnt put toothpaste on his brush, the man is disgusting!

i heart robbie rotten!

MrsTiddles · 17/07/2008 17:58

I find that whole show deeply disturbing.

aNd sportacus is actually also the executive producer

and I've read quotations from him that he has

"never tasted beer"

and that disturbs me even more than looking at him.

YANBU I get really annoyed with one episode where Miss Busybody offers him a cake and he says "no I only eat sports candy" !!!!!
That really wound me up telling a 4 year old that there is more to a balanced diet than that

poppy34 · 17/07/2008 18:01

sorry to be ignorant but who is sportacus.... or do I not want to know? sounds suspiciously close to some trogs men I've worked with

poppy34 · 17/07/2008 18:03

ok now googled him.. here is hoping dd never chooses him as a hero (knowing this is a vain hope..)

There is something of the timmy mallett about him

IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern · 17/07/2008 18:05

He is a world aerobics champion too {shock} I mean aerobics indeed

poppy34 · 17/07/2008 18:11

does he wear leopard print lycra?

mummyloveslucy · 17/07/2008 18:18

I think sporticus is very sexy. just thought I'd share that with you!.
Don't tell me you havn't thought about it.

squeaver · 17/07/2008 18:20

No he's asexual. But Robbie Rotten would be dirrrrty

mummyloveslucy · 17/07/2008 18:28

Asexual! are you sure?? What a waist.

2point4kids · 17/07/2008 18:29

I heart sportacus!

Every time DS (2.9yrs) watches lazytown he asks me for either an apple or a carrot, so its gotta be good!

mummyloveslucy · 17/07/2008 18:31

I'd be askink Sporticus for a bit more than an apple. I'm sure I could show him the ropes.

mummyloveslucy · 17/07/2008 18:34

That was meant to say asking (sorry must be getting a bit hot and flustured at the thought).

IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern · 17/07/2008 18:54

He does have a bum worth squeezing....could imagine grabbing it in the throws of passion just prefer it if it was attatched to someone else seriously he is not as nice as sportacus in real life.

I am a bit of a bum stalker this week, completely don't fancy him male friend building a unit for me the other night I was watching his bottom wuite intently as he bent over in front of me to tighten the screws and some random stranger ogling him in the bank today.

I need to get out more.

poppy34 · 17/07/2008 19:02

lol at mummyloveslucy and Ineedacleaner..but also horrific vision of futre as find myself attracted to cbeebies types

IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern · 17/07/2008 19:15

Oh god poppy have you not had a cbeebies crush yet????

What I want to know is has anyone else ever wondered how these high on poster paint types on cbeebies manage to have sex???? Can you imagine Chris or Sid at it (for some reason I can imagine Andy)-that is not that I HAVE imagined Andy just that I could-

BustyMcGee · 17/07/2008 19:27

mmm big cook

mummyloveslucy · 17/07/2008 19:35

Mr Tumble! (only joking)

morningpaper · 17/07/2008 19:37

NEVER
DRUNK
BEER

?

Sportacus looks nice but he is the sort of chap who would get all shy if you offered him a little kiss

Robbie Rotten, on the other hand, would shove you up against the photocopier for some bad boy action

Mimsy2000 · 17/07/2008 19:39

sportacus is very weird. i have unfortunately watched the credits many times and he must be a total egomanic - he writes, directs, stars and produces almost every show.

that aside, i find it demented and it just looks wrong.

cc21 · 17/07/2008 19:43

OMG thought it was just me that was a little concerned about Sportacus, he makes me feel a bit ill iykwim. My dad is also concerned by him although he isn't specific

Am quite fond of captain DJ, I love a pirate

moosh · 17/07/2008 21:00

Oh my god what is it with MNetters fancying childrens entertainers.
Very weird..........Very strange .

bergentulip · 17/07/2008 21:06

Awww...... Justin/ Mr Tumble is so cuuuuute... just the sort of guy your gran would want you to bring home for tea

(aren't Sportacus and Robbie Rotten the same guy?- Robbie Rotten has a fake chin-- can't tell you how many sleepless nights I've had trying to work that one out![!])

youngbutnotdumb · 17/07/2008 21:07

PSML at comments about the Dirty Mr Rotten LOL.

Dont see it myself although I must admit I do have a strange thing about Pete from Boogie Beebies and Mr Maker :D

Moosh I think its because we are all so socially deprived its the nicest men we see these days:D
