Poles however have reacted differently to the [Tinky Winky is Gay] “scandal” than the frantic media. Local press reports indicate the sale of Tinky Winky dolls is drastically down, and one toy store in Lublin, which normally sells 20 Tinky Winkys per week, has not sold one since the media “outed” the Teletubby.
Is this a scenario where a series of wrongs added up to a right? One can only wonder why it took an "outing" for the Polish to realize that Teletubbies suck desperately. It has been written (maybe by me) that racism is stupid because, if you really think about it, you can usually find a better reason to hate somebody. In this case, there are many, many, many good reasons to hate the Teletubbies. But perhaps if the Poles hate them because one of their number carries a handbag, then that's good enough.

They do have a quieting, almost mezmerizing quality that little kids seem to find hypnotically appealing. Plus they repeat the whole show within each episode... did you notice that? I would imagine it's great to watch when stoned. Perhaps the same could be said of LifeSite.
I can vouch for your second observation.
Rainbow colours? Totally gay.
The first I time I heard about the Teletubbies was with regard to the whole "Tinky-Winky takes it up the butt" scandal that Fallwell went bezerk over...and that was over seven years ago.
C'mon, Poland. We used to laugh at the Soviet Block for being behind the times on pop culture. Haven't things changed since joining the EU?
The age group that responds to the Teletubbies (barely verbal) shouldn't be parked in front of the television; a problem that I think has probably only gotten worse now that the stay-at-home's have more money for beer and popcorn.
Great catch poland, the teletubbies have been on the air 10 years and no new episodes have been made since 2001.
This controversy initially began before 2000 so whats with the 10 year delay?
If they think it affects people, then do a study on kids that are now probably in their mid teens.
I find it quite alarming lately about the blatant stupidity exhibited not only by people but their governments as well.
Think it is soon going to be time to cull the herd. I think human DNA is so fucked up now due to lack of natural selection that we are actually devolving somehow.
