The page you were looking for no longer exists

Today I was doing some puttering around in the living room while my 2 grandkids were watching tv... the cartoon channel of all things.  Well, I wasn't really watching, but I heard mention of talk insinuating about passing gas... farting.  I started paying a bit more attention, and of course it was also the smell etc.  It was getting pretty "rank" no pun intended.  I cannot believe what is going on with kids tv!!
 
A short time after that, my grandson asked me to change the channel and they started watching icarly. I am sure most who have kids have heard of this program.  It is on many times a day every day.  I had stopped paying any attention and went about my business on FB. 
 
After a moment, my oldest grandson asked me what "hob knocker" meant.  Well, I had no idea so I looked it up on google. This is what I found.  I cannot believe what I read.  My grandson (10) also read the first definition. 
 
Why on earth would "icarly" keep on yapping about this, using this kind of slang on a kids tv program is beyond me.  I will not let my kids watch this program any more at my house.  This is just totally disgusting and very inappropriate!!
 
I think this is just getting too out of control with what kids are watching these days.

    That sure is completely inappropriate.  That's really shocking too.  I'd tune out of that show as well.

    fraggles ~ I can bet it will shock you as much as it did me and also my 10 year old grandson who also read the definition~

    I saw this earlier when I was scanning around, then, oops....I forgot to come back to it!  I clicked the link, and was flabbergasted!  Especially that the article also even mentioned the ICarly show.  I can't believe the networks allow such filth!  Who's minding the store?  Also, wanted to add that South Park/Simpsons make me sick to my stomach--and that's just the commercials for them!

    Kudos to you for blocking the kids from such sick nonsense!
