Boo for Boobah

Submitted by cranston36 on Mon, 06/20/2005 - 5:21am.

Public Television is distributin a children's television show
called `Boobah'.
You can see information at this web site :
http://pbskids.org/boohbah/boohbah.html
Be sure to have your speakers turned up so that you can easily make out the sounds of flatulence that accompany the multi-colored `Boobah' creatures.
The creator of the show says that the sounds that are used on the show were chosen to represent sounds of anxiety relief. What they sound like are the sounds of escaping gas followed by the sound of a heavy object being dropped into water.
The attention to these anal sounds are not the worst part however. Each of the creatures themselves, when resting in their `nests', appear to be a large clitoris. When they are excited they stand up with arms and hands extended and their heads take on
the aspect of a pre-pubescent penis.
Many professionals have already come forward and stated that the show teaches nothing.
The creator and distributor of the program insists that they are using `patterns' in order to teach. The story is stretched quite far. In one episode called `Painting the Fence', a Chinese woman appears before a long red fence. She then uses a huge bucket
of yellow paint to paint the red fence yellow.
This show appears to have been created to break into the mainland Chinese television market (communists) and somehow has ended up on American, British and Australian television.
You have to see it to believe it.
PBS Schedule page is at : http://www.pbs.org/tvschedules/
Enter your zip code and look up `Boobah'.
I believe that any public funds provided to that show should be cut off immediately.
The show is an insult to Sesame Street, Mister Rogers and other professionally produced children's programming.
Anyone that exposes their children to that show is either not paying attention or is a pervert.
Boo! For `Boobah'.
