BLUEY BANNED IN THE USA: Disney Has Removed An Episode Of Bluey From American TV Because It Was About Farts
Daily Mail- An episode from popular Australian children's show Bluey isn't available on American streaming service Disney+ because it was deemed 'inappropriate' and didn't meet the streaming service's guidelines. The episode, titled 'Family Meeting', was was initially banned because one of the cartoon dogs farts in a scene.
However a Disney Branded Television employee told Pirates and Princesses the episode will soon be available after they had a change of heart. 'Family Meeting' will roll out on US platforms soon. Some of the Bluey content did not meet Disney Junior broadcast S&P in place at the time the series was acquired,' they said.
Awww biscuits. This is where we are as a country, huh? Banning cartoon dogs from letting a couple fly as if dog farts, or at least blaming farts on the dog, is as much a fabric of the US of A as the stars and stripes. Australia should kick us directly in the ass for this type of pussification.
I'll deal with a lot of Disney's shit because they pump out awesome stuff like most evil, super rich corporations do. They may have slowly murdered ESPN after it raised me as a pup, put the finishing moves on the death of Star Wars George Lucas started with the prequels (before admittedly saving it all with Mando), and have theme parks so expensive that families sign over second mortgages just to give their kids a memory they will never forget during a vacation that their parents will drink to forget.
Hell, I was planning out my first family trip to Disney just TWO DAYS AGO!!!
However after hearing this news, I think I have to think twice about booking it. This has nothing to do with seeing the price of staying five nights in Orlando being roughly equal to more than a week in Hawaii because I can visit people dressed in mouse suits. It's because the best children's show on TV should never be banned, censored, or even altered in the SLIGHTEST bit, let alone for something as harmless as this fart discussion between parents and their kids.
Who does Disney think they are saving with this move? Every human ever born thinks farts are funny before they even speak their first word and their parents agree.
Exhibit A, your Honor:
So I am giving Disney until midnight TONIGHT to put the uncensored fart video on all their digital platforms or else I am going to…probably do nothing. I can't stop watching Bluey because it's probably the only thing my kids watch that I like let alone don't despise and I'm still looking into how I can give them thousands of dollars for a trip I regret before even booking it. But pissing off a fat guy is not good juju for anybody, let alone a corporation with as much to lose as Disney.
Speaking of farts on Bluey, which is a sentence I never thought I'd write, I'll never be able to unsee the characters looking like they are farting their names during the awesome intro.
Someone else also told me they are having a dance party where the last person dancing when the music stops is eliminated, hence why they yell everyone's name and that person moves to the right.
Most mindblowing shit I've ever learned since I found out Bluey and Bingo are both girls. Yeah, I don't get out a lot, but I stand by it and know I just blew a few hundred minds by revealing that some parents.
Speaking of the most incredible intro from the best kids show on TV, get your t-shirts now before our Disney overlords try to snatch them from us!
Obligatory Podfathers plug since the #Podfam loves Bluey, even though my two dolt cohosts rebuked it last week despite never watching ONE episode of it. Fuck those guys (but watch the episode, my kid's trip to Disney relies on it).
