The man with the magic penis: Denmark's national broadcaster launches CHILDREN's cartoon about a man with the 'world's longest manhood' who uses it to steal ice-cream, fly like a helicopter and light a BBQ
John Dillermand' literally translates to 'John Penis Man' in Danish slang
Animation made its debut on children's channel DR Ramasjang on January 2
Sparked debate over what's appropriate for kids aged 4-8 - the target audienceA bizarre new children's cartoon has launched in Denmark which tells the story of a chap with the 'world's largest penis'.
John Dillermand - which literally translates to 'penis man' in Danish slang - follows the adventures of its eponymous character who performs impressive feats with his member.
From rescue missions and taming lines to flying like a helicopter, lighting barbecues and stealing ice-cream from unsuspecting kids, there is indeed 'almost nothing he can't do with it', as is explained in the show's theme song.At one point, in a scene reminiscent of the film Up, he finds himself floating in the air over the town thanks to a set of colourful balloons tied to his tackle.
The animation made its debut on children's channel DR Ramasjang on January 2, but perhaps unsurprisingly received mixed reviews from viewers.
Danish public broadcaster DR, the country's equivalent of the BBC, defended its cartoon, writing on Facebook on Tuesday: 'We think it's important to be able to tell stories about bodies.'In the series, we recognise (young children's) growing curiosity about their bodies and genitals, as well as embarrassment and pleasure in the body.'
However, some opponents claimed the idea of a man who is unable to control his penis, months after TV presenter Sofie Linde kickstarted Denmark's #MeToo movement, is ill-judged.
Danish author Anne Lise Marstrand-Jørgensen commented: 'Is this really the message we want to send to children while we are in the middle of a huge #MeToo wave?'
