Before we start this story, it has to be made clear that the scene the parents in this story saw, was NOT actually a gay sex scene, it was simply away the innocent scene was constructed that made it look so x-rated.

Parents who walked in on their kids watching the cartoon on Channel 5, were shocked to see what they thought to be at the time - a gay sex scene taking place on screen.

It was pointed out that in the unintentionally funny scene that fireman character Elvis Cringlinton was being ‘penetrated’ by Station Master Steel.
