Don't the dimwits at PBS do the most rudimnentary research before going to air?(CBS) MIAMI A popular penguin, watched on television by children worldwide, is now at the center of a cartoon controversy.
A South Florida mother is up in arms over the cartoon, which her daughter loves to watch on PBS Sprout, not because of its content but because of the penguin’s name.
“Pingu” is about the adventures of a young penguin and his daily experiences in his snowy surroundings but Maida Rodriguez, mother of a 4-year old girl, says there’s a problem with this cute cartoon character that has her reaching for the remote.
Rodriguez says the name “Pingu” is considered a not so nice word by some Hispanics. “Basically, the word ‘pingu’ stands for male genitalia,” said Rodriguez
Here's what Urban dictionary has on the subject:
1) Pingu comes fron the spanish word pinga "Penis" "d!ck" it's refer as someone with a big d!ck or someone who is brave/courageous.
Pepe es tremendo pingu!
2) A racial slur used to describe people of mulatto( mixed with black and white) decent. The word is taken from the word penguin, because penguins are black and white.
“ Tanisha your man done went wit a white girl and they got them pingu baby”
