"Rusty and Jerome, the two puppets from beloved CBC children's TV show The Friendly Giant, have been returned to the family of late star Bob Homme after a ruckus over their appearance in a satirical skit last month."
Dear god - get a sense of humor people.
Apparently the objected to the line 'All they do is drink and smoke and have sex.'
"Any media use of the puppets must be approved by the family, Homme said, adding that he felt the skit was "misrepresenting the puppets. They seemed like aliens to me with their different voices. It occurred to me that this is not anything we would have approved of, as far as the script goes."
Only in Canada eh?

The skit was damned funny. I think it's only in Canada that you get the sense of humour to even do that skit. I think the Homme family probably just heard about this through word of mouth and jumped on a chance to get their name, and old Homme's show, back in the press.
Obviously, anyone that watched those shows growing up would love the skit. No young kids will see it, and even if they did, they wouldn't know why the puppet was "going down". They were getting at oral sex right?
This is whats causing trouble? When did Canadians become such pansies?
