The kid should have been aborted.

CANADA DELENDA EST

This has to be #1.  The only person who hates Caillou more than I is my wife.  It brings out her pure Latina fury.  We often take potshots at my sister in law for not only letting their kids watch that horrible show, but actually encouraging it.

This has come up before, and I still don't get it.  What the hell is wrong with Caillou (besides his name)?  It's not bad because it's the only show I can think of which shows pre-school kids actually acting like pre-school kids.

I spelled it all out before.  Caillou is a whiny little shit whose parents enable bad behavior.  Yeah, let's show that to our kids :rolleyes:

And he's bald.  WTF is up with that.

if it makes you feel any better the actress who originally did the voice died in a fiery car crash.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

You may not notice is with your hirsute hispanic children, but fair-haired children can at younger ages, have hair so fine and so light that they look rather bald.  My 20 month old has lots of hair, but you could easily think otherwise at a bit of a distance.

And little kids ARE whiny.  And I can't think of anything his parents do that particularly enable him.

There's a children's/youth movie coming out here called "Dr. Proktor's Farting Powder". I am sure you'll all love that when it gets dubbed and screened in North America. It's Jo Nesbø, so you can be sure it's coming to get you.

Caillou is what, 4 or 5 years old.  He's bald. 

QuoteAnd little kids ARE whiny.  And I can't think of anything his parents do that particularly enable him.

No reason to reinforce the whinyness by showing them it's okay to be whiny.  Little kids scribble on walls and do all sorts of other weird or disgusting things.  Should we make that look okay as well??

From the limited parts of episodes I've been able to stomach, his behavior is enabled by everything his parents do.  I remember one time he was holding his baby sister down and pinching her and doesn't get punished or even reprimanded for it.  That right there deserves THE BELT :D

Hope it's as "awesome" as Freddy Frogface that came out of Denmark a few years ago.

I have a feeling that no adult will be buying a Nesbø novel after this.

For der:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caillou

QuoteA number of parents questioned why the title character, Caillou, is bald, sparking rumours about the reason. The official website for PBS Kids laid such ideas to rest by publishing a FAQ answering common questions regarding Caillou, explaining that the character appeared as a much younger child in the original line of children's books

So then it was impossible to give him hair when they made him older in the TV show? :huh:

Presumably they didn't think it an issue.

I'm a parent of 3 kids under the age of 4.  All I get to watch are kids shows some days.  I couldn't tell you a thing about Walking Dead, or Agents of SHIELD, or whatever - but I can talk kiddie shows all day long. :(

You had THREE kids in the time I was away? You must be seriously knackered by now.
