Britse kinderversjes gewelddadiger dan tv-programma's

LONDEN - Britse kinderversjes zijn gewelddadiger dan de "kindervriendelijke" televisieprogramma's in de vroege avonduren. Als je een uur lang naar dergelijke liedjes luistert, wordt je met meer geweld geconfronteerd dan als je een uur naar de televisie kijkt.
Tot die conclusie komen onderzoekers van een Londens ziekenhuis. Een team artsen onderzocht 25 populaire Britse kinderversjes zoals Jack And Jill. Zij vergeleken de teksten met de inhoud van twee weken televisie.
Elk uur televisie waren er gemiddeld bijna vijf "verontrustende" scènes, vergeleken met ruim 52 gewelddadige en agressieve passages in de versjes.

This is the house that Jack built.
This is the cat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,

That lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the
crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,

This is the priest all shaven and shorn,
That married the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the cock that crowed in the morn,
That waked the priest all shaven and shorn,
That married the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the farmer sowing the corn,
That kept the the cock that crowed in the morn,

Four And Twenty Tailors

Four- and- twenty tailors went to kill a snail
The best man amongst them durst not touch her tail
She put out her horns like a little Kyloe cow
Run, tailors, run, or she?ll kill you all e?en now!
