The Welsh are doing their bit in the war against terror by selling Al Jazeera a children’s TV series about a family of multi-racial sheep.
The Greco-Welsh flock uses the show to inform kids about the highs and lows of running their recycling business, communicated through the media of opera and rap. The show is known to English audiences as “The Baaas”, although the proper Welsh title is “Meees” (translates literally as “Spoilt For Choice”).
Executives at S4C are hoping that Bin Laden tunes in and decides that we’re all too mad to be worth bombing.
Bloody hell, I thought you were joking.
Oh no, it’s all too serious.
Actually, I admit I did pull your leg a bit with the translation of the Welsh title. It really means “Clifftop Lover”.
