LAZY TOWN: WARNING

Casual flipping in the morning is unavoidable when BBC Smugfast is doing a story on a cat having open heart surgery and GMTV is having a hard hitting Detox Diet Scambusting yawnarama. So you are tired, and your brain has not woken up yet. Still, this is no excuse for the day-glo filth thrown at us in the form of Lazy Town on BBC2.

I cannot describe Lazy Town, because really the only way to understand this hyper-energetic creepfest is to watch it. But I have put a warning above, as every five second burst of it I catch disturbs me to such a degree that I feel physically ill. Why not go to the Lazy Town site, where there are videos to disgorge yourself with. I believe the aim of the show is to make kids do more exercise, though how they do this with a pinkhaired girl, lots of unpleasant rubber puppets and strange men with stick on chin-prostheses leaping around I don’t know. Perhaps it encourages you to run away from the screen.

That said, I can’t help but be drawn to it for these five second chunks of “what-the-fuck”-itude. And this morning I was treated to a hi-energy (everything in the show is hi-energy but I am talking about the music here) song which would make Scooter sound sluggish. The perfect program to pair with Extra-Sugar Frosties with Glucose Power Rocks in it. For the rest of us, it’ll burn out your retinas.

    I hear Julianna Rose Mauriello is Gay I am not too sure if it’s a wicked rumor or serious fact either way it could be damaging to her career, does anyone get this?

    How fantastic and hot is Magnus Scheving?! The best thing to come out of Iceland(or anywhere else for that matter). I could spend all day just watching him doing keepy-uppies and one armed, one legged push-ups.What a guy!! He keeps us housewives from going insane!!!!

  6. kev brophy on January 8th, 2008

    he makes guys go pretty insane too…..if your into that sort of thing. I’d eat him for tea!

    Lazytown is incredible and a miracle. It helped me quit drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. It also helped me curb my sex addiction and saved my marriage, and now I don’t beat my children. I don’t know where I would be without this show. Probably in jail or dead. I owe everything to the show Lazytown.

    Can someone controlling this website please do something about the above person who is so completely rude and disgusting? Maybe you can try to screen the comments before they are posted or prohibit certain words from being printed? It’s a disgrace (unfortunately that person is probably American, as I am, and I am embarrassed to admit that someone like that would post such filthy comments on a site that children may read. I’m so fed up with the American behavior I may move to Iceland. It seems like an ideal place to live, beautiful landscape and beautiful people. Thank you Mr. Sheving for your neverending energy, it motivates me (I am also 43) to move my body and it encourages my children (as do I) to do the same. And as for Mr. Ridley, please keep your filthy comments to yourself.

    I hate to burst the bubble for all those 20/30/40 y.o.’s, but according to (Steph’s real name) Julianna’s Facebook page, she is a lesbian. She has a life partner names Amanda whom she has been dating for awhile. Sorry men, your dirty thoughts are for naught. Google it if you need proof.

  17. jay on March 27th, 2008

    do u think its a little disturbing a little pink haired girl flashes upskirt all day in a mini skirt?

  18. hermosa03@live.com on April 5th, 2008

    yodigo q esmui padre essa caricatura como quiciera ser stepanie eres mui bonita

  19. arrggghhh on April 5th, 2008

    I wish Robbie Rotten would go on a coke binge and rip off Stephanie’s arms and beat Sportacus to death with them. I hate this crap show and wish my kid did too. I am working to posion her mind agianst it. If any male (over 20)watches this on purpose he’s probably a pediphile. That’s all I can figure when I read about older men saying they love this show. Creepy pervert’s

  20. gwen on April 8th, 2008

    Lazytown is a great kids show. It does encourage them to eat right and to be more active. Kids will spend some time in fron of the tv, and we must include positive elements for them to watch. If anyone thinks perversion is going on here then they are probably perverse themselves. There is nothing that indicates that there are sexual overtones involved. It is just a fun show. I enjoy what Magnus Scheving has done and is still doing as a motivator for young people.

  21. gwen on April 8th, 2008

    Please don’t use profane language. Children are probably on this site as well. Please keep the language clean.

  22. FT's Tom on April 8th, 2008

    Gwen - I generally delete abusive comments on this thread when I see them, because I’m aware we’re linked to on a LazyTown site and this post does appear on google so I know children are reading.

    But this is NOT our fault - we are not a children’s site, the original post contained swears and was never intended to be read by kids. Blame the efficiency of Google’s search engine!

  23. FT's Tom on April 8th, 2008

    Also, let’s face it, 90% of the rude stuff posted here (”I’ll shove my tongue between her lesbian cheeks” etc etc) is probably being posted by 9 year olds.
