Simple poll, Are the teletubbies a secret threat to the children of today? Or are the polish uber nuts?

Quoted from the bbc news site:

from 1999:

and now in 2007:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6698753.stm

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."

EU officials have criticised Polish government policy towards homosexuals.

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

Poland's authorities have recently initiated a series of moves to outlaw the promotion of homosexuality among the nation's children

Tinky Winky's psychological evaluation is being treated fairly light-heartedly by many people here.

One radio station asked its listeners to vote for the most suspicious children's show. Some e-mailed in, saying that Winnie the Pooh had only male friends!

are you going to add a poll or is this a discussion?

Anyways, I think it's ridiculous and these people need to find something better to argue for. I dont believe that children at that age(show is geared towards toddlers) will be wondering about the gender or sexual orientation of the tubbies, or that it could steer them towards "homosexual tendancies" It's rubbish.

And a bullet in his head
