Quantcast



 
Shacknews recently reported via MCV that Icelandic children's television show Lazy Town is being shopped to become a possible videogame. When asked aboutit, LazyTown Entertainment stated, "Today's computer games enable children and their parents to be a lot more active than ever before and they can now be fully engaged with the LazyTown philosophy."
 
Of course, they say this not knowing that the "LazyTown philosophy" means something very different to some people than to the fine denizens of Iceland. Shopping the license doesn't mean a game is on the way for sure ... but I can imagine the results if it became a reality. Dear God, it could be horrifying.

all I know is

1. That show freaks me the fuck out
2. All the pedos on 4chan have a boner for pink hair over there
3. That video was hilarious

I actually love LazyTown. It's like Liquid Television's Dog Boy, but for kids.

My kids love it. And I'm disturbed by the pedophile 4chan people...all I can think of when the kids are sitting down to watch it is "there are people out there that don't want to wait for the pink-haired girl to be legal..."

My ex made me a cd before the break-up that has a song from Lazy Town about baking a cake that may well be the most adorable thing I've ever heard. I've never seen the show, though.

"Hey, kids, don't be lazy! Get outside and exercise and eat apples and be healthy. Sugar is bad!"

Lamest fucking premise for a children's show ever. Where are the demons and mutated anthropomorphic turtles and thinly-veiled innuendo and sugar-coated cereal tie-ins with shitty plastic toys inside? Back in my day...

The game has to let you be the action dude... or I'm not buying it.

A game about a show whose protagonist encourages people to be active (sometimes through dance)? One guess which system this'll end up on.

Looks like I'm getting a DSi.

I'm also gonna bet that it's for the Wii. The show does kinda scare me, but not nearly as much as Boobah. *shudder*
