>>"I wonder how many conservative Christians have taken this to heart, taking away their children's Tinky Winkies and saying that they cannot watch the TeleTubby show anymore."<< Christine, I don't know what effect Tinky Winky has had on children but I can tell you what effect he has had on our dog Fang. For years, Fang would only hump the legs of our FEMALE guests and would growl at the male guests. Three months ago we gave Fang a Tinky Winky and within five weeks he stopped humping the female guests and began humping the legs of our male guests. I think there might be some truth in this Tinky Winky scare. Poor Fang, I caught him standing in my wife's high heels yesterday. Jim

Fui is my own expression of disgust--an abbreviated Phooey. No hidden meanings, although I kind of like the idea and may try to come up with some. THe people who are taking this thing about Tinky Winky seriously, and I bet it's not that many, probably the ones who get rabid about Halloween jack-o'lanterns, have probably already screwed up their kids in much more fundamental ways. I wonder if it only calls attention to their "cause", gives them more credence than they deserve, by actively opposing it. It certainly has given them publicity. You did remind me that Falwell's charisma has the same possibility for deception as Clinton's, or any other leader whose personality overwhelms our ability to see the true message behind the personality. Charles Grodin is horrible--I can't even watch him for a minute without my blood pressure rising and my skin crawling. He is seriously disturbed. My favorite is Tim Russert.
