The Green Baboon Club

T'midgets and I are hiding out watching CBeebies.

I'm not a big fan of CBeebies, mostly because I think that it is used by some as a babysitting tool so they don't have to bother with their children by you know, playing games with them, running like loons in the garden, or just spending some time talking with them.

However, today is clearly going to be a day where we will sit about eating snacks and watching crappy telly.

At the moment, I feel like I am being assaulted by an advertisement for "The Green Balloon Club".

Thus far, it has shown The Green Angels following their father up to the toilet to berate him whilst he is having a shit, possibly encouraging him to use his hand to wipe his fetid shit soiled anus rather than two sheets of toilet paper. It also appears to contain a subliminal message encouraging children to phone the police if their parent puts paper in the bin rather than recycling it.

It has contained a lecture on saving water, which the stars appear to be doing by not brushing their teeth at all rather than just turning the tap off whilst they are, and starving the poor alsatian dog that they are dragging about on a string. Surely the Daily Mail must have something to say about this, though I doubt it'd be of any interest.

It's great that t'telly is taking this stuff seriously, but jesus is there not a more subtle way of doing this before all the parents get pissed off and just shut off? As we all know from our own childhood, if you nag a parent, they just stop caring. The way to get them to understand stuff is to go through the children, but not in a sanctimonious way. And most certainly not by scaring the wotsits out of small children.

I am referring this to Noel Gallagher. And possibly Chris Packham...

NB : Wiltshire Towers is as green as it can be. No pandas were killed in the writing of this blog post thingy wotsit. I am not anti recycling et al, I'm just a bit pissed off.
