Eh-oh, Tinky Winky Is Not Gay, He's British!

That puple purse totting teletubby is under fire again. Tinky Winky is now being attacked in Poland as promoting homosexuality among kids.

If you're not familiar with the Teletubbies, this Brit TV program aimed at pre-schoolers have characters named Laa-laa, Dipsy, Po, and the always cheerful Tinky Winky. Their vocabulary is pretty much limited to "eh-oh" meaning hello, and "uh-oh" meaning oh, dear!

Tinky Winky is the most controversial of them all being a guy and always carrying his magical red bag.

Poor Tinky is not new to these attacks. A few years ago a US pastor blasted the teletubby for being 'gay'. The evidence seem all convincing: "He is purple - the gay-pride colour; and his antenna is shaped like a triangle - the gay-pride symbol."

But I say, someone's sexuality is nobody's business. Even if that someone is a cartoon! Because, duh, you think all those toon characters we watched as a kid are all straight? Take time to ponder these:

Winnie the Pooh. is a guy with a girl's name. Plus he has no underpants, thus, diplaying his pee-pee everywhere he goes.

Tweety. How many of you know that this little bird is actually a guy?!

Ernie & Bert. Two guys living together? Where the hell are their parents?

Barney. A purple dinosaur who likes kids? He's the most dangerous of all, soon enough he'll snap and eat all those children!

So lay-off Tinky Winky. For all you know he's not really gay. He's British for God's sake.
