Seven has balls and Nine has butts
In recent years, the Seven Network has never been one for humility but Dr Mumbo couldn’t help but notice when the following media release lobbed in his inbox…
Well you know what they say there’s no point having them if you don’t tell people.
Update: The Nine Network’s Go! digital channel, not to be out done, has also issued the following media release announcing the “World Premiere” of the following film:
Testes is the plural of testicle.
Bollocks!
I’ve seen the show, it’s a load of bollocks.
Ahh nice, good to see the networks sense of “good taste” prevailing, ban the GetUp Dog poo ad and run shows about balls and butts, you live up to expectations daily commercial TV 🙂
Just to clarify The Day My Butt Went Psycho is an animated Australian children’s series based on a series of books
Maybe it was a cock up in the scheduling.
If I was responsible for sending this I’d pick out all the @mumbrella.com.au addresses and send a special email. 😀
The book by Andy Griffiths was called The Day My Bum Went Psycho. has “bum” become offensive or has cultural imperialism taken over?
Scots films like ‘that sinking feeling’ and ‘gregorys girl’ got re-dubbed in the USA for general release because Scots was too hard to understand.
GO probably bought the rights to screen back from a US copro house, and BUM == tramp in US parlance (“hallelujah I’m a bum” is an old depression era song) so it got re-branded for US release to Butt..
(my theory, and its mine)
Thanks George – a good theory and one I’ll accept..
