The Corrective Party, New Zealand's only corporal punishment party, wants to take issue with the Right Reverend Graham Capill's call to ban Queer as Flock, a gay programme on TV4.

We think that he is too lenient with so-called "children's" programmes like Pokemon. Why, one of our scientists, Sister Bubonica Seventy Flagellations of Our Lord, has discovered horrid backward masking in Pokemon.

When the yellow electric rat Pikachu intones that word, what he is really saying if you wind it backward and play it at one-fifieth the speed is:

"Hello Beelzebub, I have great pleasure in announcing that the conspiracy to separate parents from their money in pursuit of greater corporate profits through repeated tot annoyance until they give in is proceeding according to plan!"

There are naughty naked men in Queer as Pluck, and they should all be spanked, but Queer as Pork does not offer the threat to parents bank-balances and children's immoral souls as Pokemon does.
