Tinky Winky is a homo. What are the Persians going to do? Stone their televisions when Tinky appears on the screen?

The "president" (of Iran, of course) is going to love this one.

Maybe they haven't found out about Winky yet, but when they do, somebody at the Network of Hate will have a lot of 'splainin' to do.

How the heck can you "translate" the teletubbies? Do you actually need to?

us Brits will destroy them from within via the teletubbies How vile and underhanded!
I thought the show was creepy before. I am just imagining the disembodied voice saying. "Allah Akbar, Tinky Winky. Death to America, Poh!"

Actually, the 'Tubbies are so disgustingly saccharine, it may be just the push that the mad mullahs in Iran need to get the people to back an attack against the West for producing such a load of crap.
If they buy Barney and Friends, look out for incoming!!!

It's not the translation per se, it's finding just the right voice talent to say, "Kill the Zionists", "Destroy the Great Satan America", "There is no God but Allah" and such.
Coming from those brightly colored globby characters, I think that would be hi-larious.

Iran is going to use TTs as a form of torture on political prisoners. A couple hours of viewing and they'll crack.

How the heck can you "translate" the teletubbies? Do you actually need to?How do you say "Big Hug" in Farsi?

Andrew Sullivan complained about that practice.
