Having only just recovered from being slandered by Jerry Falwell, Tinky Winky now has to deal with this:

A senior Polish official has ordered psychologists to investigate whether the popular BBC TV show Teletubbies promotes a homosexual lifestyle.

The spokesperson for children’s rights in Poland, Ewa Sowinska, singled out Tinky Winky, the purple character with a triangular aerial on his head.

“I noticed he was carrying a woman’s handbag,” she told a magazine. “At first, I didn’t realise he was a boy.”

…Ms Sowinska wants the psychologists to make a recommendation about whether the children’s show should be broadcast on public television.

  • I saw this on BoingBoing and could not believe it. I love the fact that she singled out the handbag as a reason why Tinky Winky is homosexual!

    Sometimes you just have to hake your head and wonder how these people dress themselves in the morning.

    Oh, found you on the BritBlog lists… am loving your blog already!

  • It’s pretty sad, really.

    Do these people have nothing better to do?

    And since when was Purple the gay colour
