Side Nine: Adult Television

No, I don't mean porn or Bleu Nuit or that kind of thing. I mean the likes of Toopy Binoo or In the Night Garden or Johnny and the Sprites that are not on our tv. Ever. the only reason I know of the aforementioned shows is that my Sister speaks of them as G or E's favourite show. Goodtimes is all about Thomas the Tank Engine.

I have inadvertently watched a few moments of these shows. I have to say, the grown men who dress up and dance and sing as some bizarre character creeps me out. Watching them jump around, talk in weird voices and sing silly songs seems emasculating to me. I have no idea who or what those things are on In the Night Garden, and Iggle Piggle gives me the heebie jeebies.

I'm really glad I have no child who loves these shows, is obsessed with these shows and needs to watch these shows in order to STFU. That is an amazingly bright side of barrenness.
