Mom spies penis drawing in Netflix kid’s cartoon and is "extremely disgusted"

She certainly has a point. It’s a cock. No doubt about it. Even the most rabid UFO-nut couldn’t believe it’s a drawing of an ancient space ship. Still, I’m reminded of an old story about the waiting room at the office of a child psychologist.

One woman says, “The doctor claims I think too much about food, and naming my little girl Cherry has contributed to her obesity.”

Another responds, “He said I should stop drinking, because naming my child Sherry has already given her an unhealthy interest in alcohol.”

A third woman says, “This is all nonsense. Put your toys away, Dick, we’re leaving”.

Wait… she finds penises extremely disgusting… and yet she has children? Is it possible she’s just making a stink because she’s bored? Or maybe hoping for damages?

That would kinda bum me out, I think. May they get over it soon, and re-embrace the dick pic/joke again!

This is from Maya the Bee. Look at the weeds. Look at the bee legs in the bottom left of the screen. I’m guessing that penis is well under an inch.

I was referring to the size of the drawing but [sigh] it also applies to the bee.

There was a Wired article recently about the inevitability that kids will be seeing internet porn. Linked here

I know that now, but at the time it looked much much bigger. Menacing. I was afraid for my life!

A year or two ago I realized that my son (now 12) knew

  1. what pornography is, and
  2. that getting caught with it could be problematic.

We were visiting friends; their oldest is younger than my son. Son yells from upstairs, “Dad! Dad!!”

“What is it?!” I asked, figuring from the tone of his voice that someone had been running with scissors and was now impaled.

“[name_redacted] is looking up porn on the Internet!”

Thinking to myself, “If you know it when you see it, well then… hmmm…”

Oh, I don’t know. I sympathize with the mother. Although kids see obscene drawings as a matter of course, it doesn’t follow that parents should therefore expect and welcome obscene drawings in every realm of life – especially the realm of children’s programming.

I’m reminded of the joke about the old lady who calls the cops because she can see her neighbor taking a shower. Upon arriving, the cop looks in the neighbor’s direction and says “I can’t see anything.” The old lady angrily replies “Of course you can’t! You’ve got to use these binoculars!”

I sympathize that it shouldn’t be there, but I am far from “extremely disgusted.”

The most I could muster would probably be “Ha, I saw that. Please don’t do it in the future.”

Penis drawings are certainly not always appropriate or welcome. But disgusting?

Does nobody recognize a rocket ship blasting off when they see one?

I’ve worked in children’s educational television for almost 40 years now and this kind of shit always impresses the hell out of me. Hats off and a Standing O.
