Gerome and Rusty Go Carousing
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007
Gerome the Giraffe and Rusty the Rooster have been up to no good. As a result, the CBC museum has lost custody of The Friendly Giant puppets. The family of the creator of the beloved kids’ show is up in arms that the pair were used in a skit at the Geminis, not only because they didn’t grant their permission, but also because Gerome and Rusty were engaging in very adult activities - smoking, drinking, and doing it like they do on the Discovery Channel. The daughter of the creator of the show has removed the Giant’s sidekicks from the museum indefinitely, but it appears Casey and Finnegan from Mr. Dressup can still come out to play. I can only imagine the fun the Geminis might have had with the Tickle Trunk…
What do you think? Are these puppets from our youth sacred or is the family overreacting? Have your say in the comments section below.
