So I prefer my kids watch Netflix rather than youtube because with youtube when a video ends it plays a new one based on some unknown money making algorithm and I am paranoid they will somehow inadvertently end up watching something that resembles porn.
I thought this actually happened when I heard strange porn-like noises coming from the t.v. When I went to check I saw my kids with their eyes glued to…. a cartoon with smiling avocados.
Reassured and concluding that I just had a dirty mind when upon further inspection I realized that the cartoon is of two avocados, or rather two halves of one avocado. A boy and girl avocado. And since they are two halves of one avocado one of them has kept the pit (the boy) and the girl avocado has a corresponding gaping hole.
Right. Oh and there’s no dialog. The avocados basically grunt to communicate as they merrily go on their adventures like trick or treating.
I watched in horror and my kids watched with glee. My first instinct was the turn it off but then how do I explain it to my kids? You can’t watch that because Mommy is pretty sure some guy just decided it would be funny to take the soundtrack of a porno and put it to a seemingly benign cartoon with smiling avocados and maybe that guy is laughing right now with the knowledge that he’s putting parents like me in this position.
I have to admit. The guy’s a genius.
