I was in a toy store a couple of days ago and the salesperson was telling me that they had to "discontinue" DragonTales toys because of group who thought that the show was "inapropriate". Could someone fill me in? My dd watches DragonTales every morning and I don't see anything inapropriate, am I missing something?

South Africa's Sesame Street community welcomed a fluffy five-year-old orphan living with HIV Tuesday in the government's latest effort to stem the AIDS pandemic ravaging the country and the continent.
Education Minister Kader Asmal was the first outsider to hug Kami, a lively bear-like Muppet with a passion for nature, after her public debut at Cape Town's Groote Schuur Hospital, the only one in the country offering drug therapy for children with AIDS.
Guests saw a snippet of the first show in which Kami is invited to join the familiar Sesame Street characters at play.
"You're beautiful," says Zikwe, the big, blue, gravely voiced kingpin of the show.
Asmal said the character, rejected last year as a member of the original U.S. Sesame Street community, would join the local Takalani Sesame from Sept. 30 to help children infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS to understand the disease.
Takalani means "be happy" in the local Venda language and Kami's name is derived from the Tswana word for "acceptance."
Sesame Street is a pre-school television show based on the popular Muppets series and designed to help children prepare for school.
"Education is the only socially acceptable vaccine available to our people and represents our only hope to save our nation," Asmal said in an address to funders and partners in the project.
"We can't continue to have HIV positive children isolated, demonized, victimized. We want to make all of our children feel comfortable," he said.
The United Nations estimates 2.3 million people died of AIDS-related illnesses in Africa last year, leaving hundreds of thousands of children orphaned.
It estimates 28.1 million of the 40 million people living with HIV/AIDS are in Africa and 4.8 million are in South Africa, where one in nine people are infected.
