'Stop sharing dirty Arthur memes!' says children's TV show broadcaster

The network behind everybody’s favourite cartoon aardvark (tough competition we know) has called for an end to the viral Arthur memes taking over the internet.

The Emmy-winning show is based on the book series by Marc Brown, who is yet to comment on the memes.

“We appreciate the memes that have been created and shared in good fun,” a WGBH spokesperson said in a statement.
