TELETUBBIES (TV puppets; also dolls)
Teletubby's in trouble again [talking doll spinoff from the television show, a Po doll,
claimed to have uttered word "faggot"; manufacturer claims doll is saying the
Cantonese word for "quicker"; earlier there were complaints about Tinky Winky,
a boy doll carrying a purse].
P122 (v16n5)(July 29, 1998): 22 (19cm.)
It's absolutely brilliant [humorous piece concerning the Teletubbies issue and claim by
members of religious right that puppet characters are a recruitment tool for gays].
By Sven Svensson.

Tots' icon outed [Jerry Falwell, American right-wing religious leader, warns parents
against The Teletubbies TV show; claims one of teletubbies may be gay role
model; etc.].
