I am more "amused" than "outraged" (like some of friends are) at this "culture appropriation" of the Chinese folklore, especially when ABC ME "is a dedicated digital and broadcast service designed for primary-school age children which reflects and celebrates the lives, interests and diversity of young Australians" (facebook.com/abcme), and I am pretty keen to see where all these leads, if it manages to get broadcast on Singapore (cable), that is :p
