A lesson that for some "went too far"

Last Saturday, the first part of the animated series "John Dillermand" was broadcast on the Danish children's TV channel DR Ramasjang. It wouldn't be a big deal if John wasn't a man with an extremely long – penis. So long that it is also useful for lighting the barbecue from a "safe distance", as a leash for walking the dogs and more. The aim of the show's producers is to show children in a fun way that body difference is not something to be ashamed of but can also be fun, useful... And the whole thing was created in cooperation with the Danish non-profit organization for reproductive health "Sex and Samfund" (Sex and Society), which supported the idea of ​​this kind of banter.

But many parents did not perceive such an intention from the story and called the first part, which you can watch below, grotesque, scary, stupid, considered that it encourages pedophilia, encourages children to play with their own (or someone else's) penis, and so on. Of course, everyone sees what they want... We thought it was mostly fun...

"John Dillermand" is not the first example of a children's show on the DR Ramasjang channel dealing with the human body and sexuality. Last September, they broadcast the show "Ultra Strips Down", in which a group of different adults undressed in front of an audience of mostly 11, 12 and 13-year-old children. The purpose of the show was to show children how the videos are a normal human body and that what they see on magazine covers, websites and elsewhere is not reality: "90 percent of the bodies that children see on social networks are "flawless", which is far from real life. We want to show children that there is nothing wrong with a slightly bigger belly, hairiness, pimples, as well as body defects. That they are part of our lives. The whole thing has absolutely nothing to do with sex,” it is said show creator Jannick Schow. But even then, many people did not accept the show in such a way, and the producers received a lot of criticism and anger, although there were not a few who thought the idea was good. Participating children were also there with the permission of their parents, to whom the producers explained exactly what was going to happen and what was its purpose before the show.

We are really interested in how something like this would be received in our country...
