The BadAss Wombles of Central Park!

Yo! Wombles in the 'hood!

I've just seen this campaign on this morning's BBC News and it's the best laugh I've had in ages.

The problem is that only 1% of new children's programmes are made in the UK and that naturally impacts onto our language and culture. As a way of illustrating this, PACT (the Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television) produced this gem to a launch their new campaign.

The only thing I would add, to show how much our language has already been influenced by imported TV, is to correct Great Uncle Bulgaria - they're called "children", not "kids"!

And what IS a "fannypack"? Sounds like a box of Kotex/Allways Ultra...
