This actually provides an excellent teaching opportunity for ones children. Explain to them that Gods love is only given to those that surrender up their hearts. If you turn your back on the LORD then he will smite you with woes even unto severing an arm or leg or inserting Herpes. The bigger the sinner the more woes will the LORD inflict. Unless he is testing you, in which case the better you are the more woes will be visited unto ye.

I noticed it the other day, pointed it out to my 3 year old daughter and explained to her that some people do not have 2 arms and 2 legs and that we were lucky that we do etc. She just took it on board and it didn't bother her in the slightest. Kids have an amazing capacity for learning and as long as things are explained in a way that shows they are not "scary" then they'll be fine with it. I find the complaints moronic.

Some randoms posted on a forum ... and that passes for news these days.
Small mindedness on a forum? I've never seen that before.

It smacks of those women who complained about those injured Iraq war veterans using their local pool because their kids were spooked by their missing limbs. Disgraceful really.

"at first the kids were troubled with it but now I am really happy with it"

Yep, We need a normal specification, if anyone deviates from average they will be shot. Let's celebrate the normal it's such a great thing to be.

Surprised that they complain about this relativly new presenter when 'Something Special' has been being aired for at least as long as our 2 year old has watched (probably 12 months+).
Personally I reckon it's good for kids to see people who are different from themselves. At least I can see any arm in it....

They're quite right to complain. Let's ban all the abnormal people from the media. They set a bad example.
And abnormal people shouldn't be allowed out during daylight either in case they frighten the children or the horses.
We need a Normal People Commission Agency set up at once to monitor this stuff.
In fact, why don't we set up camps for such people ... no better than Nazis ... Godwin's Law ...
Damn. The parents were right.
