If it was a tail, that I could understand, but a PENIS? And it’s aimed at young children! What I saw of the episodes on You Tube were even too risque for Adult Swim MHO. If Danes think this is child-friendly, they must be total perverts. (I’ll admit, it was funny, but I’m an adult, mmmkay?) > **[Denmark launches children's TV show about man with giant penis](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/06/john-dillermand-denmark-launches-childrens-tv-show-man-giant-penis)** > > Critics condemn idea of animated series about a man who cannot control his penis, but others have backed it (Maybe this decision was made by the same people who thought “Ren & Stimpy” was appropriate for Nickelodeon almost 30 years ago? I heard that its creator is in some big trouble for consorting with underage girls, which doesn’t surprise me at all.) ---

Despite all the jokes, which I’m not in any way trying to, um, deflate, it seems pretty clear that the protagonist’s penile escapades are not being presented as sexual. No erections, ejaculations, sexual arousal, just magic prehensile penis. ---

Looks like silly fun. Penis appears clad all the time, in the clips I’ve seen. Not that Scandinavians seem to have a problem with showing kids penises and having a laugh at the same time, if _Pubertet_ was anything to go by.
