Mr.Rude is to be a French Man
in the New Mr.Men to be shown on Ch5
at 7:30AM.
This is Very Correct
A great attack on the French just by making
Mr.Rude -French.
They have Artistic Freedom.
And Kicking the Frogs in the Teeth
the French accent is Mr.Rude.

It is a story book character for crying out loud! Why does it have to be 'A great attack on the French'? Are you going to claim next that putting Miss Daredevil in white heels is an attempt to reclaim the image of the Essex girl? |

It is has a Message
for our youngsters.
Having Mr.Rude as French
is Artistic Freedom and Also Political Subversive,
teaching the little children what the French are.
It is very clever to pick the French as Angry.

Well after watching the half marathon this morning I must be Mr Invisible!
On more then one occasion some ignorant twat stood just in front of me and blocked the view.
Non were French but one was a stinknig American!
Needless to say I thanked them for their consideration. |
We're all doomed!
Head for the hills before they start heading for you! |

When my two youngsters where about 2.5 and 3.5 years of age, they decided that they had a monster in their bedroom. Rather then arguing about the non-existence of monsters, I asked them where the monster came from. It was a crack in the skirting board ... or so they said. I got some sello-tape and 'sealed up' the crack and then stood by the bedroom window and called the monster.
"Monster!", said I firmly, "Monster, come here! At once!" I opened the bedroom window, pointed outside and told the creature to "Now get out!". I leaned out and called after it, "And never come back!!!", shutting the bedroom window firmly behind it. It never did!
Funnily enough though the girls still remember me 'banishing the monster' they didn't grow up seeing 'monsters' in every nook and cranny - or crack in the skirting boards.
Children will not pick up 'stereotyping' from stories or programmes they view but from the attitude and general demeanour of the people they associate with on a daily basis. |
