Sesame Street is now on my 'No' list for shows my son will be allowed to watch.


While I was sitting here typing, he was watching S.S. and I was listening in.  Imagine my suprise when:



  1. Cookie Monster's mother said 'What the hell?'

  2. The letter 'B' said 'let me tell you about the birds and the bees'

Soooo not appropriate for a toddler!!!

hmmmmmmmmm


i think the birds and bees thing was probably poor word choice - i think it was just that birds and bees both start with "b" so it was like a nice song or something? i'm hoping beyond hope they weren't hoping to start using sesame street for sex ed...


and i CANT BELIEVE someone said "hell" on it - are you SURE?  i mean i'm really dumbfounded - if that's so, i would write a letter or make some phone calls immediately - that is unbelievable

I'm wondering about this too. I mean there isthat old sone "let me tell you bout the birds and the bees and the flowes and the tree...". I must have heard it a million times when i was a kid but had NO clue that it was about *that* until I was much older. Still, they should know better...

Not exactly.


Nerd that I am, I always have closed-captioning on so I can keep the tv volume from saturating the house, but I happened to tune in for my time zones broadcast at 11 Central not long after I read this post because my son watches it too.


Cookie Monster's mom said, "What the Hey" before giving in and eating the cookie.  I heard it just that way, and the CC listed it that way too.  Not like we don't all know what that means, but still.


I didn't catch the Birds and the Bees part though...

Phew! I hoped, and thought, that SS would be smarter than to say 'hell' in a show that toddlers watch!

hmmm


two thoughts


a - phew!  not "hell"


b - come on - that's still questionable.  they need to just avoid that whole thing but not saying "What the ____
how about "why not?" instead
