The fetish reference was more krakkkaism krakkknology from your local neighborhood krakkka.

Also, this is a testament to the sad state of affairs with regard to multimedia resources for our children as we can see clearly, in case we weren't aware already, that our eternal enemies cannot and will not produce resources in the best interests of Kmtyw people.

I must admit I love Kirikou but I too wondered about the original story it is supposed to be based on and how the Euros changed it to fit their needs.

I discovered this video when I was looking for videos in Kiswahili on Youtube to help me learn the language. Because I found both an english version and a Kiswahili version it was a great tool to use (until they both were removed from Youtube). I watched them both dozens of time.

I hear what you all have said about Kirikou's behavior being unacceptable in Kmtyw cultures. I wonder however if he is really a child in the normal sense. He seems to me to be something different, a spirit sent to fulfill a mission.
