Poland's conservative government took its drive to curb what it sees as homosexual propaganda to the small screen on Monday, taking aim at Tinky Winky and the other Teletubbies.
Ewa Sowinska, government-appointed children rights watchdog, told a local magazine published on Monday she was concerned the popular BBC children's show promoted homosexuality.
She said she would ask psychologists to advise if this was the case.

Poland's rightist government has upset human rights groups and drawn criticism within the European Union by apparent discrimination against homosexuals.

Ha ha , he said 'probe'.
Just because they don't carry machine guns and disarm bombs doesn't mean they wouldn't rip your head off if you threatened their young.

#4 - Tue May 29, 2007 1:01 PM EDTThat's exactly the first thing that came to my mind. Of course Poland would "probe" gay teletubbies. It'd like that, wouldn't it?
Glad to see our minds think alike.

They wear clothes, have tv's in the stomachs, and don't even speak...let alone do anything that could be categorized into any sexual preference category.....how exactly are they gay, and why does it matter? This sort of silliness makes my hair hurt. She was probably one of those people that call everything gay.....that dude is gay, that shirt is gay, that chair so damn gay it's crazy!

The only thing the Teletubbies represent to me is an outrageously cute and creative concept for a childrens' show.
How anyone can see it as anything more is beyond me.

I was stuck seeing quite a bit of Teletubbies for a summer a few years back (damn little ankle-biter cousins!) And while they are cute, and strange, and make somewhat annoyingly repetitive sounds, I really can't see how they can be even thought of in a homosexual manner. It's like looking at a plain pencil and saying "oh man, that pencil is so gay". Except really, the pencil is at least phallic in a way...the Teletubbies are just...Teletubbies. I really don't get it. But oh well, people are crazy. :)

The logic is, that purple one is the biggest one of the Teletubbies. From there we can make a conclusion that his a male. Also his carrying a pink purse, so he must be gay. =)

Rukh,
Your overuse of the word gay is starting to make me feel strangely uncomfortable. Perhaps someone should probe you!
Okay, that didn't come out right...

Not without dinner first at least. I may be a man-whore, but I have my pride!

Falwell's giving 'em a thumbs-up from the grave.
Eh, let the study go on and let them find they're not homosexual. Tin-foil hats for sure on this one.

Don't forget Poland.

I hope they have a team of scientists working around the clock, inventing new instruments of gayness detection, making charts and graphs illustrating the relative gayness of the various Teletubbies, arguing in a conference room,
"I say the purple one is clearly the gayest!"
"You're mad, Dr. Kowalski! Mad!"
I hope they record this all for posterity, cause I really really want to see it.

I predict sales of tinky winky items to rise sharply any second now.
In fact I think I may go out and buy one for my son.
Yet no one to my knowledge ever questioned the obvious homosexual cohabitation of B1 and B2 in "Bananas in Pajamas". Thinly disguised phallic symbolism.

Ha, I love Bananas in Pajamas, that was my generation of children's programming.
And I never even realized the phallic symbolism until now. Jeez.

#8 - Wed May 30, 2007 12:46 AM EDTI don't know what it is about the color purple. It just seems to send some some people over the edge, emotionally......brain chemistry changes, maybe?
I once read that too much purple on the walls can be overstimulating.
In my town a handful of residents were in a complete uproar because some couple painted the exterior of their home a pleasant subdued shade of purple.

It's the gay pride color according to Falwell. As the triangle is the gay pride symbol. Tinkie Winkie has a triangle on his head.

He also has a beer belly and enjoys watching tv with his buddies......maybe he swings both ways?

I thought the rainbow was the gay pride symbol. Besides, 2 year olds are supposed to know this how?
The whole thing reminds me of crazy people slowing down disney movies and playing lp's backwards.
