NormVictorian Supreme Court bans Channel 9 from screening Humphrey Bear for 2 months in Melbourne.
Humphrey using an extra long yellow tie to cover his underbelly.
A Victorian Supreme Court judge has told Channel 9 it cannot screen episodes of Humphrey B Bear in Victoria until the murder trial of a Melbourne underworld figure is over.
The judge ruled that jurors seeing images of Humphrey’s underbelly would find it hard to distinguish between what was real and what was not in relation to the strange, ever-changing-and-shifting lump in Humphrey’s pants just below his beltline, let alone what was fact or non-fiction in the trial. “It’s a drama,” the judge said. “Most people have trouble with soapies,” then went on to add, “Children who have never been sexually molested by blokes who dress up in costumes have had enough trouble working out whether judges in wigs are gay sexual deviants, let alone if Humphrey is a real bear or a gay QC in a costume.”
“The last thing we need is a second trial, which could happen if jurors watch Humphrey doing his weird shit on TV at home, find the murderer innocent and put Humphrey on trial.”
I am reading these backwards.
