Yateley, England -- A new internet cartoon character may raise some eyebrows among clever parents: She's a "chocolate starfish" named Feecal.

The naughty-sounding puppet is the creation of English artist James Ford, and she lives in a place called Tuna Town with her friends Ria and Woody the Horny Seahorse.

Ford admits he's having a bit of fun with the names of the characters, but insists there's nothing adult-oriented in Feecal's adventures.

He says the point of his website, littlechocolatestarfish.com, is to raise questions about the innuendos that appear in seemingly innocent mainstream cartoons.

Ford's message may be going over the heads of most of his audience, though. He says little kids and folks over 30 tend not to notice the scatological nature of the names -- including his own mother.

As for the main character's name, he says it wasn't inspired by Limp Bizkit's "Chocolate Starfish" album. Instead, Feecal is his pet name for his girlfriend, Fiona.
