Olbermann went after me last night on “Countdown.” This morning, it’s my turn. Ping to Today show list.

I think Tinky Winky still gets better ratings.

And his thought patterns are more logical and less paranoid.

I get your point and I’m with you.
As a picky point I haven’t seen made and I think needs to be, and as a student of the Teletubbies, the sure bet about Tinkywinky is that he is effeminant. He carries a purse (calls it a bag, but it goes over the arm like a woman’s purse) and loves to dance ballet wearing a pink netting ballet skirt.

The reason Gay is an awkward fit is that the show isn’t about characters that are having sexual relationships (thank the Lord). The characters act like innocent children, and their acttions and language are those that very young children enjoy watching and hearing.

If you could project the characters forward in age and time (difficult, because they seem ageless and timeless), I could imagine Tinkywinky as a cross dresser and or getting a sex change operation to become a female. The actual Gay relationship part is a question mark to me, whereas the first two are a virtual given.

Suffice it to say the character isn’t normal and can create confusion for young children who are trying to understand themselves and the world around them.

Since you seem to know something about Telletubby world, how would one know that Tinkywinky is male to begin with?

The “Tinky Winky is gay” thing first appeared in the gay magazine “The Advocate.”

That’s how the story got started yet Jerry Falwell ended up being the butt of jokes because a publication he was involved in repeated “The Advocate” story.

Matt, Katie and Al Roker with “what’s he been drinking” or some such comment stands out in my memory from that time.

Its no surprise that Olberman would repeat the smear.

After the initial outcry I watched the Teletubbies to see for myself. Tinkywinky has a pretty low voice for a child, even a male child. I believe the character carries a purse as part of the stealth indoctrination. The gay agenda is insidious. Parents must be really vigilant these days to protect their children from all the ‘under the radar’ information being foisted on the young ones.

Yeah, but Dipsy is all man. When the others say it’s Dipsy’s turn to wear the skirt, he says “run away” and does so. Tinky Winky loves to wear the skirt. Ergo, Tinky is winky and Dipsy is all man.

And don’t forget the ballerina skirt Tinky Winky wears while carrying his purse.

There’s quite a bit about the ‘tubbies that reminds me of the Eloi in Wells’ “Time Machine”.

I’d love to see the episode where the Morlocks show up and harvest a few ‘tubbies for dinner.

Tinky Winky has a wide stance.
