We've all heard the jokes:

The Smurfs are Communists

Scoobie and Shaggie are drug adicts.

But what other show can demonstrate a corrupting influence?

I submit to you, Sesame Street = The Seven Deadly Sins

Big Bird is Sloth (He only sits around that stupid nest)
Cookie Monster is Gluttony
Oscar the Grouch is Wrath
Snuffleupegus is Envy
The Count is Greed
Bert and Ernie is Lust (Ambiguously Gay Duo)
Elmo is Pride (All his success has gone to his head)

So now, what children's shows can be perceived as a corruptive, evil influence on impressionable children?

Teletubbies.

That's clearly phallic on his head.

And, while homosexuality is fine as far as I'm concerned, I also think that a show aimed at toddlers might be a bit too soon to introduce openly gay characters (the Christian church went crazy about it).

Yes, Tinky Winky is male.

Just because he's a crossdresser doesn't mean he's gay.

He's got a triangle (stylized vaginal shape) on his head. Just sayin'.

If it wasn't 100% confirmed that he was gay, I wouldn't have said it.

As I said, after it was confirmed, the Christian church went mad about it.

A triangle is the gay pride symbol. Purple is the gay pride colour.

.....What? Who confirmed that a character on a kids show is gay?

The BBC...

It was a big thing.

I wouldn't say it had a corrupting influence but I've always felt that Jabber-Jaw was a pretty damn scary concept. Think about it. He was a sentient, air breathing Great White Shark that could run on land.

KJ Stewart · 08-27-2009, 11:00 AM

Thundercats.

Lion-O was a kid.

His body aged, but his mind didn't. Yet he was often perceived as Cheetara's love interest.

He-Man and She-Ra...

There were definitely hints of incest.

spongebob.

i dont rememember what exactly they said but i do remember some right wing christian nut bars pounced on that one too.

The count was Greed?

When did THAT come across?? I remember him giving up HUGE prizes, including one "Anything you want at all", just to be able to count things one more time...

B&E I'd disagree with too, especially as they wereone of the few charecters that WEREN't getting any play in the show. Almost ALL the adults did at one time or another (evidenced by the fact that they had kids).

It's never too early to learn about sexual matter! After all, I turned out-

Bird Bird has taken plenty of long trips on foot. They even had a movie where they were trying to track him down. He's pretty active.

And Oscar, he's mean, but he isn't especially wrathful. He's pretty much equally mean to everybody and doesn't really hurt anybody.

Plese. He-man is about as straight as Subaru Nakajima. And Rainbows are straighter than Subaru.

Seriously, ever watch that show? It's like watching the Ambigously Gay Dou.
