In my early fifties I was an avid follower of the British Teletubbies program and Tinky Winky in particular was my hero then. Some kind of role model for me so to say.
So, out of curiosity I finally went to read what Wiki had to say about this series and this is when I knew I needed a massive dose of emotional rescue!
Tinky Winky, my hero, was suspected to be a sleeping agent of the homosexual conspiracy!
Jerry Falwell was on the watch and knew there was more than meets the eye behind the cute purple-colored-triangle-antenna-wearing character.
I had previously heard about this Jerry Falwell and I knew he played in the same league as Pat Robertson.
Some people really have to be embarrassed with sexuality and their own body to detect subliminal messages at every corner of the street. These religious zealots are birds of a feather, be they Christians in America, Muslims in Iran, Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia and orthodox Jews wherever they are.
For dozens of centuries, all these self appointed priests ruled the world and behaved as tyrants and criminals towards people who simply were different like that Teletubbies character is supposed to be. So if you meet one of them, run Tinky Winky, run!
Les méchants s'entendent plus facilement pour la guerre qu'en temps de paix pour la concorde.
