Yahoo News Maya the Bee creators respond to rogue penis outrage
In case you didn't spot it, one of the most notable stories of the week involved a kids show and a rogue penis.
It came after one parent appeared to spot a drawing of a penis in the background in Maya the Bee episode 'King Willi'(!), leading to Netflix pulling the episode, and now the production company behind the show has responded.
But first, see if you can spot the penis in the video below.
"An absolutely inappropriate image has been discovered in a four-second fly-by scene in one episode of the total of 78 episodes of the series," said Studio 100 in a statement (via The Hollywood Reporter).
"The origin of this image obviously results from a very bad joke from one of the 150 artists working on the production. This is indeed unacceptable to the Studio 100 Group as owner of the brand and all its partners and doesn't reflect the quality of its work and its values."
Studio 100 noted that legal action has already been started, offering its "sincere apologies" to all Maya the Bee fans, adding that it is taking "all suitable technical measures to remedy the situation".
In a since-deleted Facebook post, mum Chey Robinson uploaded the suspicious clip of Maya the Bee, pointing out that (obviously) a drawing of a penis is not something that should be in a kids' show.
