Except, apparently, when it comes to gays.

For our UK fellas here, though, I'm curious. What is the deal with this "Little Britain" show that the priest talks about, and would 12 year olds actually be that audience? From what little I've found on the net, it looks like a late night show that young kids probably aren't watching.

All I have to say is "WHY?"

That's pretty damn... gay.

Harry Potter may or may not be gay, but Frodo would beat him like an effeminate red-headed stepchild

Now THAT was gay! Reminds me of your old avatar even!

**leejo** · 10-06-2005, 03:08 PM

I need two avatars. One cannot contain the depth and bredth of the leejo.

Anyhoo, when my hairy (foot) knuckled midget is sticking his foot up your wand-waving rent-boy's patootie, axe me again who's pitching and who's catching around here.

Little Britain is a really odd comedy sketch show.

In one sketch there is a gay Welsh guy who is convinced he is 'The only gay in the village' even though most of the village is homosexual. "The only gay in the village" is one of his catch phrases. Little Britain is funny but its really......wierd....

**leejo** · 10-06-2005, 03:34 PM

so maybe the priest was saying Harry Potter is dime a dozen and not making any comment at all on Master Potter's penchant for buggery?

AzzMan · 10-06-2005, 03:35 PM

It sounds really gay.

Like it actually promotes being gay, to understand the jokes or something.

So is it something that 12 year old children would normally watch or understand a reference to?

Obi · 10-06-2005, 05:55 PM

Well....they shouldn't but I'm sure a few of them will know. The DVD or video would be rated '15'. I don't know the US equivilant.

Clearly the truth about the standard of parenting in this country remains a secret to the outside world. Sure 12 year olds watch this. Hell kids younger than that watch it.

Oh and it isn't that funny a show either.

Equivelant would probably be "PG-13" here, PG meaning parental guidiance. Parental Guidiance meaning anyone can see them :P.
