I love that joke! But seriously…

We complain that our government spends so much money on a war… At least we don’t have to deal with this one, yet.

Reuters reports:

Poland’s conservative government took its drive to curb what it sees as homosexual propaganda to the small screen on Monday, taking aim at Tinky Winky and the other Teletubbies.

Ewa Sowinska, government-appointed children rights watchdog, told a local magazine published on Monday she was concerned the popular BBC children’s show promoted homosexuality.

She said she would ask psychologists to advise if this was the case.

In comments reminiscent of criticism by the late U.S. evangelist Jerry Falwell, she was quoted as saying: “I noticed (Tinky Winky) has a lady’s purse, but I didn’t realize he’s a boy.”

I love how it’s always these adults who want to “protect” children from shows where a character may be gay. WTF are they protecting them from, exactly? I’ve never once heard a little boy say, “I just finished watching the Teletubbies. One of them was carrying a purse. I’m gonna go suck a dick.”
