A senior Polish official has ordered psychologists to investigate
whether the popular BBC TV show Teletubbies promotes a homosexual
lifestyle.

The spokesperson for children's rights in Poland, Ewa Sowinska,
singled out Tinky Winky, the purple character with a triangular aerial
on his head.

"I noticed he was carrying a woman's handbag," she told a magazine.
"At first, I didn't realise he was a boy."

EU officials have criticised Polish government policy towards
homosexuals.

Ms Sowinska wants the psychologists to make a recommendation about
whether the children's show should be broadcast on public television.

Poland's authorities have recently initiated a series of moves to
outlaw the promotion of homosexuality among the nation's children.

Tinky Winky's psychological evaluation is being treated fairly
light-heartedly by many people here.

One radio station asked its listeners to vote for the most suspicious
children's show. Some e-mailed in, saying that Winnie the Pooh had
only male friends.

Even Ms Sowinska has backtracked a little, insisting that she does not
believe the Teletubbies is a threat to the nation's children. But the
evaluation is still going ahead and her office can recommend that the
show should be taken off the air.

Poland was criticised recently after its education ministry announced
plans to sack teachers who promote homosexuality.

Last month the European Union singled out Poland for criticism in its
resolution condemning homophobia in the 27-member bloc.

How do we know TinkyWinky actually is a boy?  Been a while since I saw the 
Teletubbies, but I am sure I would have remembered any obvious external 
genitalia...

I think we should be told the truth.
