Correct me if I'm wrong, but pointing is rude, no? So why is this creepy ass puppet on The Wiggles explicitly instructing our impressionable tykes to point their fingers — up, down, every damn place? (Then there's the question of where this puppet is pointing exactly — down where?) Sesame Street may get a bad rep, but at least Big Bird and the gang aim to teach our kids a little more than how to hold their own at a rave.
Dora the Explorer has a "bad seed" in the fam and her name is Maraka. Girlfriend is a Spanglish-speaking, foul-mouthed little spitfire who engages in Dora's signature question-and-pause-pause-pause-for-answer games. But Maraka's questions are different from Dora's.
Some parents have trouble getting their kids to eat and this is probably why. If I were an impressionable young child and overheard my food sing about having a kegger and trashing the inside of me, I wouldn't touch my carrots either. Children's TV is so wacked out these days.
This Dutch-language children's show has a pretty messed-up translation. The Mormons did what?! Don't fart where?
I don't know about you, but I like to describe products just as if I were in a commercial! Or, in this case, as if I were in a soap opera and doing really unsubtle product placement for Prego's heart-smart sauces that are oh, so deliciously nutritious for you and your loved ones.
The writers of children's programming place a high priority on making their shows entertaining for adults and children alike — but this is something else. Rainbow, a '70s UK kiddie show, upped the ante on adult entertainment value. The following clip from the "Twangers" episode was a staff joke that was jam packed with innuendo.
An eagle-eyed reader recently alerted Joel McHale from The Soup to soap star Cameron Mathison's thong-slip in an episode of All My Children. The bane of my existence, thongs are a wear-only-if-you-need-to appurtenance. If you're wearing bulky jeans, as this dude is, why on earth .

Someone with a wicked sense of humor "retouched" the covers of some classic kiddie books. The artwork remains the same for the most part, but the titles have been edited — for better or for worse? — I'll let you decide.
Grimm's Fairy Tales aren't exactly shielding Junior from nightmares, but these book titles are without question in the "too much, too soon" category. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)
