WTF

I have just switched on the TV and there as a kids show on called......

Rastamouse.

A Rastafarian mouse who speaks patois and skateboards about with his Easy Crew "making bad tings good" as he says.

There is also some gold covered pimp-mouse called Bagga-T who has a house full of orphans who speaks only in hip-hop rhyme....

This is aimed at 6 year olds apparently.....I wasn't sure that I wasn't having some kind of flashback to my acid days.

Whatever happened to Sesame Street?

It was all over the news when it first came on, what's wrong with it?

It's certainly less trippy than charlie chalk/the clangers

Sounds way less violent and damaging to children's minds than Tom and Jerry

(I think there is nothing wrong with cartoon violence. Modern cartoons suck)

My brother told me about this, but they need to get rid of "Ting". Must get really annoying for the parents.

I'm a Parent, I don't find it annoying at all.

Why? Unlike the white british youth who choose to speak like that, it is part of the dialect being represented.

It has been butchered by a few though,it would be fine if it was not prevalent in "Street gang" culture but it just winds me up every time I hear it regardless of who is saying it.

It's not racist! The only issue I see, is that Rastafarianism is a religion (a reasonably racist one at that - blacks are the "chosen" people -Holy Piby). You wouldn't have Jewmouse, Muslimouse etc.. Or would you ?

I didn't find it racist. I thought it was pretty cool, although when I was a kid, Little Black Sambo was still available in schools... :eek:
