OT-My last .02 re Falwell...

So you think that Falwell is off base, eh?
You betcha. And he already drew outrage just a couple of weeks ago from his Antichrist rant.

Then what is your response to this quote from the Washington Times

Is that the Moonie-owned paper?

"homosexual groups from here to London are telling everybody that they've long embraced "Tinky Winky" and his patent-leather purse as their own."

I think I've just found the kernel of wisdom in your post. If homosexual groups have drawn the same conclusion as Falwell they too deserve equal criticism for tainting a kids' show with their own agenda. On that issue we certainly agree.

And, now for the obligatory joke: People who have knee jerk reactions based on who said what. Content doesn't matter, who said it does. It appears that the TRUTH is that Falwell is right. Whether or not you agree with his religious and/or political views is beside the point.

Um...that obligatory joke was not funny. Maybe it's in the delivery. Bye.

Whoops! Almost forgot - Here is a (real) ObJoke you may have not seen. Arnie, this is a combination of a joke I think you'll find funny combined with a hope this topic doesn't devolve into a flame war, which will be ignored.
