Arian Foster feud with PBS? Foster asserts that kids show "Caillou" is unbearable, has no plot [VIDEO]

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster made an unprovoked attack Wednesday that could have serious repercussions affecting children's television programming.

According to extramustard.si.com, Foster took to Twitter to attack the children's animated show, "Caillou," which airs on PBS Sprout.

I can tolerate most of these kid shows, but caillou is unbearable. There's no plot and the animation is avg. Can't take it.

I'm sure if we rally together we can get it off air. My mentions are full of caillou disgust lol — Arian Foster (@ArianFoster) March 26, 2014

Extramustard.si.com speculated that Foster's angst at the show because it originated in Canada. And in an earlier tweet, Foster does give a shout out to "That sand art that lady does on Sprout is incredible," so it appears that his ire is not directed at the PBS-affiliated network.

It is unclear whether PBS had planned a counteroffensive against the Texans' star, and so far there is no evidence that "Martha Speaks" is planning to air an episode that critiques Foster's job performance.

Extramustard.si.com, in a rebuttal, points out that a Caillou episode titled "Caillou Hates Vegetables" does include a plot in which the title character is averse to eating vegetables but is persuaded to try them and then decides that he doesn't mind them. However, other seem to side with the NFL running back's cause.

Even SB Nation takes what would seem to be an unpopular stance and sides with Foster:

"If you are not familiar, you lucky person: Caillou is a despicable, spineless 4-year-old boy who cannot do anything," SB Nation reports. "He can't grow hair, not because he has cancer or progeria, but because he sucks, and even his own body recognizes that he does not deserve hair or food or love. He has a baby sister who dominates his life because she is a normal, loving child who does not whine about the slightest fart of the breeze. Caillou's parents love her better because she is a better person."
