As I was watching In The Night Garden the other day, I noticed that one of the main characters is wearing a PBIED with a mechanical firing switch. Observe:
I'm dreading the day I'm going to have to explain to my children why one of their TV favourites wears a defensive PBIED, of the style that IS fighters wear. Or worse, they decide that they want to wear a toy PBIED after watching In The Night Garden.
I've not seen any explanation on the BBC as to what this is about; I have no idea if this is another example of creeping Sharia Law or whether it's a misguided attempt to make kids TV more accessible to foreign markets.
Has anyone else noticed blatant militarisation of kids TV programs?
