Polish Ombudsman Backs Off Tinky Winky Gay Probe
(Warsaw) A day after she received international scorn for telling a Polish publication she had asked for a report on whether Tinky Winky and other Teletubbies are promoting homosexuality to children, the country's ombudsman for children is backing down.

Ewa Sowinska had told a popular Polish magazine said she was concerned the popular show promoted homosexuality to unsuspecting minors. (story)

Sowinska said she had asked a panel of psychologists to investigate the popular children's television series.

"I noticed that he has a purse, but I didn't realize he's a boy, Sowinska told the weekly "Wprost". The interview had been vetted and approved by her office before it was published.

I would say she is just pissed off because tinkywinky carries a better purse than she does.

2. LOL! I was thinking the same thing and wondering why
people can't think of more important issues to focus on.

4. It gives me such a secure feeling when politicians.....
and so called religious leaders worry so much about Tinky Winky. I'm surprised Bush hasn't claimed Tinky Winky has WMD's in that purse. Children of the world should feel safe when they are being protected against the evil Tinky Winky. :evilgrin:

5. Sometimes life just hands it to you on a silver platter.

3. If everything in Poland is going so well, that's all she has to
concern herself with, then I'm moving there. If not, then she should be doing her freaking job.

Or

Some of these jokes just write themselves.
