A Conversation for The pirate club

YOHO AHOY

Are you all aware of the new cartoon "Yoho Ahoy" on BBC? (I can only get it 7 minutes at a time on stupid Ontario station.) Baby buccaneers who are only capable of saying the words "yoho" and "ahoy."

Now I can understand where some people might think it un-piratical to enjoy a puppet cartoon aimed at infants. However the show has several redeeming qualities, almost piratical in the way they subvert the paradigm of children's shows:

1. A prominent character on the show is named POOP.
2. The cook has hooks for not one but both hands. (Lost in a fondue accident?) Like a cyborg, he can replace his hooks with other gadgets. Spoons or eggbeaters, but you can imagine maybe a drill or a nice sword blade.
3. Name of the ship: Rubber Duck.
4. Okay, I've only seen 7 minutes of the show so far, but I'm sure it will turn up other treasures of subversion in the future.

Anarchy has a new name, and it is YOHO AHOY!
