- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+276Little girl to her friend on the bus the next day:
"My dad's so ***** upset about this whole Barney's penis thing - I don't get what's up his ass!" - TriZz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+148How does the little girl (so sheltered and innocent) know that the addition to Barney on the sign was a penis?
...and if it was just words that said "Barney's Penis" - then why is a big deal if she doesn't know what a penis is? I mean, this is just silly. Tell her it's a foreign word meaning pony, and let her be done with it.
Although, when she gets older and meets a guy with a horse and tells him she wants to ride his penis - that could be really funny. - eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -3/+133Maybe the father should accept the fact that Barney does indeed have a penis. Every male creature has a penis. His daughter NOT knowing that would have a terrible effect on her development. You'll notice how the daughter seems amused by it, and keeps mentioning it; it's only the father and the pastor who are concerned...
- Skafloc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+119Oh, no! She said the P word, she will be traumatized for life!!!
- NoNom, on 10/12/2007, -2/+104More like the father is traumatized. The daughter is excited to see the movie.
- krunchy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+83I hope they have proof it was teenagers because stereotyping is just wrong.
- silenceHR, on 10/12/2007, -3/+81"Since then, she has not stopped mentioning Barney’s p***s. This has shaken the bedrock of our family. I made an emergency call to our church’s pastor about this bombshell in my daughter’s life and he is unsure how it will affect her future."
WTF??????? emergancy call to church?... over one word???
this is both sad and funny... - borchard76, on 10/12/2007, -6/+81I don't care what other people are like--there would never be a good reason for that!
- keyrat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+76Awesome dad. He villifies the penis now so later in life his daughter can become a whore. It's a body part, for *****'s sake. She needs to learn it exists.
- iamdecal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+71i call ***** ... what self respecting teenager is going to write "penis" when they could write MONSTER ***** or something.... its just not that likely is it.
;-) - masamunecyrus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+71Sounds to me like said father was "traumatized" when he joined the "pen 15" club back in elementary school.
- ZigZags, on 10/12/2007, -1/+68The thought of purple dinosaur schlong terrifies me.
- PantherX, on 10/12/2007, -18/+77People like this are why we need Goatse and Tubgirl billboards.
- Klowner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+57The only thing that'll be traumatic to the poor kid is her dad getting all sweaty and worked up every time she says "penis". Now there's a memory she can look back on in 10 years and be really confused about.
- whitecricket, on 10/12/2007, -2/+58Agreed, making something forbidden only makes it more tantalizing to children. 6 years old, in my opinion, is old enough to give your child the biological explanation of boys and girls.
- halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42This is jet another example of a parent who had kids not for the sake of raising them, but so he could have little kids around the house. He never thought about the fact that they would GROW UP some day.
She saw something vulgar in the real world. Oh, the horror.
If she isn't taught how to deal with it now, then she'll grow up to be a helpless, maladjusted twit, just like her father.
Sadly, it's clear that the father and the pastor are both clueless fools, incapable of functioning outside of their carefully constructed little safe havens.
You know what my mother did the first time I started yammering about anatomical traits?
She explained to me that such things are considered "Vulgar" to discuss in public, but that if I had any questions about them I should feel free to ask her or my father in private. - Mace37, on 10/12/2007, -6/+47I just hope she's properly educated about pants trolls...
- brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+43"Since then, she has not stopped mentioning Barney’s p***s. This has shaken the bedrock of our family. I made an emergency call to our church’s pastor about this bombshell in my daughter’s life and he is unsure how it will affect her future."
I LOLed! - HarryBauzonia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+40Some folks are too delicate to leave their houses. Too bad he reproduced already.
- celopes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+40More like uptight jerks...
They exist in the unreligious form too.
And not every religious person is uptight or deluded. - inigomntoya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+39Buried! I thought I was gonna see a photo...
- honkyman5000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38I'm traumatized so many Diggers are interested in Barney's penis.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34i think this father would rather let his daughter learn on her own at 14, right before a downward spiral into sex, booze, and cocaine
- pws1016, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33It has "Shaken the bedrock of my family"
thats funny - Hensworth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34It's nice how he blames teenagers for it. He is setting a wonderful example of discrimination for his daughter.
/end sarcasm - xtmno3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30For some damned reason natural selection just doesn't work on humans.
- halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34There is a wide range of Religious types in this country.
Please don't group folks like me in with the cowardly little Nancy boy from TFA. Most of the Religious Types I know are perfectly capable of surviving in the real world, and don't go to pieces and cry like a baby at the pastor's doorstep when their kid learns the word "Penis." - EBone, on 10/12/2007, -3/+32"Come here little girl and sit on Pastor Pete's lap, and I'll tell you all about the magical penis."
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22"i call ***** ... what self respecting teenager is going to write "penis" when they could write MONSTER ***** or something.... its just not that likely is it."
Well, considering that Barney is a dinosaur... MONSTER ***** would be appropriate. ;) - Necoras, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24@eplawless:
Well, every male mammal has one... but Barney's a dinosaur, and reptiles certianly do not have them. Basically this whole discussion's mute... unless you're talking about the guy inside of Barney... That's a different issue... and probably a much more disturbing one any way you look at it. - theone3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23I think it was a granny gang.
- bcorder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22yeah, sex ed must be a religious matter... 6 years old, that's kindergarten right? I seem to remember a famous line in Kindergarten Cop,ugg Boys have penis, Girls have a vagina...
- ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23How is "penis" vulgar?
- jayfarer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Clearly, she is now and forever on the path to being a murderous sexual deviant. All because of those hoodlums and their sharpie marker!
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21I'm worried about that little girl's future too, but not because of Barney's beef whistle so much as her ***** up family.
- daldredge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20We don't even have proof that this even happend...
- celopes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19@halleyscomet:
And that is called good parenting. Good for you.
I wish there was more of that going around... Unhapilly people are too busy watching TV and complaining that school doesn't give their kids boundaries. - halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Then why bother posting in the thread?
- Snakedal337, on 10/12/2007, -22/+39Religion types...
/me sighs loudly - mraty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Well, if they don't leave the house, what else are they gonna do? Other than reproduce...
- ChronicColonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I was thinking of the physical trauma, not the psychological one. Although if there was physical trauma caused by Barney's penis, you can be damn sure there would be psychological trauma to follow...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+23Real story: People who spread vulgar grafitti offend folks.
- M2Ys4U, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18penises don't soil people, anuses do. duh! :P
- Mace37, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18" I made an emergency call to our church’s pastor about this bombshell in my daughter’s life and he is unsure how it will affect her future."
HA! The pastor will solve everything with his degree of psychology
It will make her less of a social retard? The outisde world is so dirty and scary, I think she should live in her room in a bubble so she isn't corrupt like the other 6 billion of us. - bigbird1040, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Someone should look up Bryan Flynn in Fallbrook, CA and send him a purple dildo via FedEX. Seriously, I'll paypal you the money.
PS I'm 19 so technically I'm still a teenager ;-) - invader, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21isn't that what religion is for?
/end troll - bryanpcola, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17@trizz
damn you, now I have soda all over my keyboard! - invader, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16"penis" is vulgar to uptight [and sometimes religious] people because they don't consider it a reproductive organ.. they consider the object itself to be obscene. if one appears in a movie, it will be rated R at the very *least* (scary movie had one, and IIRC they cut some scenes to be able to get the R rating)
- fantasticFlan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14I think he's confusing bedrock with cardboard.
- tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16I wish these nutjobs would realise that the more you hide these things from children, and the more you make a big deal out of it, the worse the reaction will be. If she had noticed it, and he had pretty much ignored it, she'd stop quickly, guaranteed. By making a big deal out of it and probably lecturing her about why it's bad and so on, she will now know it's something she shouldn't say - so she'll say it as much as she can. Now I am not advocating that they put Barneys penis on kids TV to expose them to it, but when things like this accidently happen, just accept it and carry on. It makes for well-rounded kids. Censoring a childs view of the world simply leads to a distorted view when they grow up, and that means messed up adults.
