Badger Porn

I've begun to notice, with increasing regularity, the number of nature programmes being broadcast showing all manner of animals from badgers to budgies going about their daily lives inside dens or cages like an Animal Magic equivalent of Big Brother.

The current penchant seems to be the jolly badger being filmed in their natural habitat in the middle of the night but how many badgers do you know of that are security conscious and normally have CCTV installed in their dens as part of their "natural" habitat?

And if that's not weird enough the badgers then invite everyone around for tea to watch their home videos?!

Ah, but Mr Badger isn't daft and knows that if the cameras are on he and Mrs Badger tell the kids to be on their best behaviour and not to play with their toys in the living room. Then once the kids go to bed they get to have a right old laugh at our expense and we end up all watching the X rated badger equivalent of Debbie Does Dallas.


Without knowing it we've become a nation of badger voyeurs.
