Tellytubbies in "gay" probe (Yahoo headline)?

Question

[Yahoo reports today that "A Polish government watchdog has said it wants to investigate if the Teletubbies promote homosexuality"]

OPEN QUESTION: What do you think?

Answer 1

I don't know haw a made up CREATURE with no discernible sexuality can promote anything but maybe I'm not looking hard enough,

Answer 2

All the questions that I saw on Poland are somehow tied in with that t.v show. Why would they be gay? I never was a fan of those little mix-ups but still... I mean,the government has more things to discuss whether or not Po is a lesbian or if Poo Poo is sharing a sexual relaionship with Mr. Rogers. Why don't you ask a poish person? Majority would know nothing about it but maybe president Kaczyński does...who knows? Maybe he knows the Sun Man in person. For all I know,Tinky Winky is going to be sued for copying the Sun Man's routine. Or maybe he's due on tax? Imagine... TW: Please return the 100 000 000 you borrowed last month for the personal massages and the losing poker match you had at Las Vagas. We hope that you will give the money back soon,because if you don't,we will sue. Good Day,Tinky Pinkie.

Blues Clues is gay too!! Why else is that Steven dude hanging out with Clue in 1 house? All the other talking things in there are males...hmm...suspicious...

I wouldn't care less if Twinky Dinky was an aniti terrorist that's an undercover spy for China...

Answer 3

I don't get the Teletubbies but this homosexual thing is ridiculous! Justbecause a male character has a handbag doesn't mean it's gay! Do all homosexual men carry big plastic handbags? i know of little boys who have sisters that play with girls toys and play dress up, but that doesn't put a question mark over their sexuality and i'm pretty sure seeing a teletubby with a handbag won't either!

Answer 4

I could have seen the point if they wanted to investigate the Teletubbies for promoting acid trips. The whole programme looks like a drugged up hippie's dream.

I assume the homosexuality angle comes from one of them carrying a handbag. Since their supposed to be asexual aliens, its a bit foolish to project assumptions about human sexuality onto them.

Answer 5

I've seen that too. It's crazy but the Americans beat the Poles to it, as religious groups in USA declared the Teletubbies to be 'gay' and unsuitable for children to watch, when it first aired in the States.

Answer 6

Ridiculous! For heaven sakes it is a kids show. Only adults think like that. I grant you it is a very annoying show and does not promote proper speech but I really don't think a 2 yr old is going to have their sexuality influenced by them!

A huge waste of money. Give the cash to the homeless or something!

Answer 7

THIS is nothing more than the homophobics of the world looking for something else to bash since they have nothing better to do with their lives than look for things that are "not straight".


Teletubbies are nothing more than what they seem....

ENTERTAINMENT

Too many people read too much into shows like this that are designed for nothing more than to keep kids occupied.

Answer 8

I think its just a load of homophobic rubbish. Kids play with lots of toys which are not gender specific, and often their play might challenge gender expectations which, lets face it are only a product of society. Just because Tinky Winky has a handbag and thinking it might encourage kids to become gay is rediculous!

Answer 9

I dont think it does, sounds like the Polish Government doesn't have enough to do.

Answer 10

i think the polish must be all gay haters. when there country is full of fags. if u dont like british programmes dont air them in poland.
its a bit strange there is anyone in poland anyway they all seem to be here.
