Lætibær

A mixed-format children's program started here in Iceland called Lætibær is now internationally famous under the name Lazytown. I've been perplexed by this shows insistence on really stark gender differences (the main "boy" wears only blue and is very sporty whereas the main "girl" wears only pink--including her hair--and likes to dance). But at least now I think I understand the name a bit better, since here in Iceland when the weather is really terrible, the urge to be incredibly lazy is just overwhelming.
