Discerning toddler rap.
An Egyptian milk advert in which
toddlers refer to their mothers’
breasts has been banned after a
public outcry, claiming it could
encourage sexual harassment
towards women, according to a
report from the BBC.
The TV commercial for the
Juhayna dairy brand featured two
little boys discussing breast milk.
The toddler whines, “I just
cannot forget the dundoo,”
meaning his mother’s breasts.
One of the other little boys
replies, “And you never will.”
The word “dundoo” has no
origin in Arabic, and seems to
have been used as toddler-speak
to avoid referring directly to
female body parts.
Apparently the claimed disquiet
has not been too widespread - the
advert earnt >1.6 million Youtube
views in one week.
FRENZIED frog fornication.
Among the almost 7,000
species of frogs and toads found
worldwide, there are only six
known mating positions (amplex,
or embracing modes - and who
counts this stuff?), until the
Bombay night frog was seen in
love’s ‘embrace’, according to a
study published in the journal
PeerJ.
In Bombay night frogs, the male
does not embrace the female but
straddles over her back,
releases sperm then moves away,
at which point the female lays her
eggs and the sperm trickles down
her back to fertilise.
So this is how Prof SD Biju at
the University of Delhi invests his
research money.
