Danish Television Made a Children’s Show About a Man With An Enormous…Well…You Know
Is something rotten in Denmark?
--
If you’ve ever wondered what sort of hijinks would ensue for a man with a comically long, prehensile ‘pee-pee’, you might just work for Danish television.
DR, the Danish equivalent of PBS or the BBC, recently launched a show titled John Dillermand. In the show, ‘Dillermand’ (the literal translation is ‘penis-man’) gets himself and his…well…you know…fella into all sorts of trouble in his Danish hometown.
Yes, whether ‘Dillermand’ is getting ‘himself’ caught on a bus, between garden shears (yikes!), or using ‘himself’ as a pogo stick, ‘Dillermand’ just can’t stop getting into awkward situations.
But the fascinating (and serious) question about John Dillermand is whether any of this is appropriate for children.
The Guardian reports that the show is aimed at four- to eight-year-olds.
Now, everyone has different standards of what’s appropriate for their kids to be watching.
But I wouldn’t be comfortable sitting down to watch John Dillermand with my kids.
What about you?
