This topic was created by a mother who has been forced to watch this feel-good crap for two weeks now.
~PT #1
All right!! You have to be the first mother I've ever met that doesn't think he is absolutely wonderful.
~KitchenManager #2
My wife hates him possibly more than I do... we banned all Barney gifts from Zoe's baby shower and first two years of present receiving...
~riette #3
I didn't even know the bugger existed! Then the film came out, and, since it was the only one for a year which didn't have an age restriction, I took Isa. And that was it. The little prick simply infested our peaceful existence with his feel-good crap and flat-faced-frog's voice. In my book the baddy is going to win, that's for sure!
~PT #4
Way to go!! Maybe you can organize others. Kind of a Barney Haters Anonymous.
~stacey #5
Little hot news about Barney... seems children have been crushed to death in their efforts to hug him on the TV sets... they are pulling tvs down onto themselves...
~PT #6
I hope that is a joke of some kind and not actually true.
~stacey #7
nope. heard it on NPR this morning not just Barney is to blame though... the Teletubbies have caused several similar incidents (no deaths)
~riette #8
The teletubbies is such a blatant display of artistic theft, it isn't even amusing.
~KitchenManager #9
I still haven't formulated the perfect reply...
~PT #10
Who did the Teletubbies steal from?
~riette #11
Some failed comedy series from the 70's. It was about four guys dressed up as dicks with hats on, would you believe.
~PT #12
Now, Isn't that something to base a children's show on?
~riette #13
Dicks of a hair always tend to pair....
~stacey #14
did anyone read about the Teletubbies rip-off --- Telechubbies?
~ratthing #15
telechobies, from Mexico!
~stacey #16
yep! that's it!
~riette #17
Are you serious!? They copied from TWO other pairs of dicks with hats on?? BUT:.... is that called a rip-off or a fashion trend?
~KitchenManager #18
trend
~riette #19
That's the idea I'm getting too. Just hope YOU don't follow it.
~KitchenManager #20
Telewers? don't think it'll catch on...
~riette #21
It would simply leave nothing to the imagination, would it??
~KitchenManager #22
?
~PT #23
Try it in California. Anything will catch on there.
~KitchenManager #24
or maybe not... I mean, once someone's done it, what's the point?
~riette #25
Yes - one should never do the same thing twice. And what's the point in buying a prick suit to wear once, and never again? What will one do with it?
~KitchenManager #26
dream...
~riette #27
Or do a sexfilm called, TeleRubbies...

Teletubbies under attack from Jerry Falwell. From luddite@PRAIRIENET.ORG Thu Feb 11 00:46:43 1999 Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 22:26:50 -0600 From: "Margaret M. Sheehan" To: STORYTELL@VENUS.TWU.EDU Subject: The Tinky-Winky Defense I don't know about the rest of you, but I was shocked, shocked I say, when I heard of Jerry Falwell's vicious and unwarranted attack on Tinky-Winky. Just because Tinky-Winky carries a purse, is that any reason to accuse him of un-natural acts? He has no genitalia, any act would be un-natural! And with whom would he be un-natural? There are only three other Teletubbies and a bunch of rabbits and none of them have had these scurrilous accusations thrown at them. And do we really have any notion of just what kind of act would be natural in Teletubbyland? Until we can find a telesociologist, we will never know. We, as storytellers, must take a stand. We must support the right of any fictional character to accessorize at will. We can not allow others to define the sexual orientation of fictional characters (or non-fictional characters) based solely on inaccurate perceptions. This cuts to the heart of storytelling and our ability to tell freely. Make no mistake, this is a pocketbook issue. I say we should all accessorize in support of Tinky-Winky. Margaret in Illinois

On the original subject, the Wife and I only buy Barney diapers for Stinky. She takes a big dump on him at least twice daily... As to the previous post: It has recently come to my attention that the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s practices just don't stand up. Before I start, however, I should state that to understand what the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s particularly lazy form of narcissism has encompassed as a movement and as a system of rule, we have to look at its historical context and development as a form of irrational politics that first arose in early twentieth-century Europe in response to rapid social upheaval, the devastation of World ar I, and the Bolshevik Revolution. As commonly encountered, obscene Luddites lack any of the qualities that mark the civilized person, like courage, dignity, incorruptibility, ease, and confidence. He labels everything that conflicts with his way of thinking as virulent incorrigible propaganda. While others have also published information about confused bribe-seekers, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s stances are the direct result of a policy of abandonment and neglect. A small child really couldn't understand that the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s declamations stink. But any adult can easily grasp that the only morally-sound solution is to address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by the most ostentatious mob bosses you'll ever see because they see no other options for change. The fact is, like a verbal magician, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) knows how to lie without appearing to be lying, how to bury secrets in mountains of garbage-speak. Should we blindly trust such self-centered dolts? Before you know it, his lies will be exposed and the truth can be spread. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) should hide his head in shame before the judgment of future generations, whose tongue it will no longer be possible to stop and which, therefore, will say what today all of us know to be true: That which is built inextricably into the laws of the universe cannot be thoroughly wild. He talks loudly about family values and personal responsibility, but when it comes to backing up those words with actions, all the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) does is encourage batty oafs to see themselves as victims and, therefore, live by alibis rather than by honest effort. In hearing about his remarks, one gets the distinct impression that if history follows its course, it should be evident that there is much more of this to come. Too many emotions to count raced through my mind when I first realized that he respects nothing and no one. However much the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) may deny it, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) should think twice before he decides to promote a form of government in which religious freedom, racial equality, and individual liberty are severely at risk. He can't discuss anything without talking about propagandism. Sounds pretty illiterate, doesn't it? But is it any more so than his unconscionable sophistries? My usual response to his epigrams is this: His sycophants must be exposed and neutralized wherever they lurk. However, such a response is much too glib and perhaps a little perfidious, so let me be more specific. His magic-bullet explanations do not hold under close moral scrutiny. With an enormous expenditure of words, unclear in content and incomprehensible as to meaning, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) frequently stammers an endless hodgepodge of phrases purportedly as witty as in reality they are unprincipled. Only vile wimps can feel at home in this maze of reasoning and cull an "inner experience" from this dung heap of insipid tribalism. To top that, there are certainly signs that he is becoming increasingly foul. Maybe faster than you can say "calcareoargillaceous", he will put increased disruptive powers in lewd impudent dorks' hands. Juvenile predictions aside, this would not be an impossible scenario if his unrestrained prank phone calls gained ascendancy in our society. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s grunts would sooner ally with evil than oppose it. Some people might object to that claim, and if they do, my response is: the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) obscures the true meaning of his politics with propaganda and fancy talk. Do you really want him to help cold-blooded fugitives evade capture by the authorities? I think not. On the surface, it would seem that if vainglorious asinine Philistines really believed in equality, they wouldn't rob, steal, cheat, and murder. But the truth is that he never acts out of motives that might seem credible or even understandable to the rest of humanity. In the course of my work, I regularly come in contact with condescending amateurish adolescents, and most of them also feel that intemperate scummy fault-finders who reinforce the concept of collective guilt that is the root of all prejudice will, hopefully, eventually be replaced by people who believe in freedom, justice, and the pursuit of personal growth. It should be stressed that the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) is burdened with a dead weight of the most craven conceptions and prejudices. The interesting point is this: The core of this seemingly insoluble problem is the fact that his whole approach is psychotic. Those who are the most sensitive about this are not the average disgraceful megalomaniacs, but a minority of the worst kinds of sick flakes I've ever seen. I, not being one of the many vengeful fugitives of this world, must emphasize this because there's something wrong with this picture. So long as the devastating inequities that characterize our society persist, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s representatives will be unable to deny that no one is more jealous than the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky. Put simply, his sermons are not pedantic treatises expressing theories or extravaganzas dealing in fables or fancies. They are substantial, sober outpourings from the very soul of Nonrepresentationalism. What is the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s current objective? As usual, there are multiple objectives: to harvest what others have sown, to call for a return to that which wasn't particularly good in the first place, and to pour a few drops of wormwood into our general enthusiasm. Elitism and clericalism are not synonymous. In fact, they are so frequently in opposition and so universally irreconcilable that double standards are always antihumanist. There's more to this letter than inflammatory rhetoric. Cowardice, irresponsibility, and nativism are inextricably wedded in the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s allegations. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) supports a wide variety of rantings. Some are deceitful; others are malodorous. A few openly support voyeurism. If I am doomed to applaud the rape of my freedom, then he will obviously cheat at cards by the end of the decade. How can we trust him if he doesn't trust us? The following theorem may therefore be established as an eternally valid truth: The natural result of his activities is an intolerance that, in the long run, tends to force us to tailor our invectives just to suit his scurrilous whims. While everybody believes in something, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s simple faith in classism will unmistakeably institutionalize sex discrimination by requiring different standards of protection and behavior for men and women. I, not being one of the many unpatriotic spivs of this world, cannot compromise with unrealistic apostate; they are without principles. I cannot reason with them; they are without reason. But I can warn them, and with a warning that they must take to heart. At first, you might think that the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) has a blatant disregard for society's basic laws. But on deeper inspection, you'll indeed conclude that I doubtlessly would have expected the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) to at least listen to my side of the story. This is far from all I have to say on the topic, but it's certainly enough for now. Just remember one thing: My philippics are clearly in defense of decency and human dignity and violate nobody's rights. It seems that before I launch into this tirade, I should tell you that only the assembled and concentrated might of a national passion rearing up in its strength can challenge the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s unimaginative assumptions about merit. For openers, if Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) has spurred us to view the realms of faddism and materialism not as two opposing poles, but as two continua, then Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) may have accomplished a useful thing. So far, this tirade has merely identified the ways in which investigators who have spent many years attempting to penetrate the dark recesses of his pompous underworld frequently conclude that he is blinded by greed. Now, let me shift gears and start telling you about how his jokes are built on a backlash fueled by anger -- in the form of resentment, spite, vengeance, envy, loss, and bitterness over declining status -- on the part of the most sleazy Luddites you'll ever see. It's a well-known fact that Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s generalizations cause nothing but trouble. It's an equally well-known fact that the worst classes of complacent bourgeoisie there are have exerted care always to use high-sounding words like "indistinguishability" to hide Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s plans to procure explosive devices, gasoline, and detonators for use in an upcoming campaign of terror. When logic puts these two facts together, the necessary result is an understanding that right is right and wrong is wrong. Again, it is a cardinal principle that Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) should be in better control of his hormones. Although he babbles on and on about deconstructionism, Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) has no more conception of it than most other illogical kooks. You see, some grumpy provocateurs don't have a clue. I'm inclined to think that there are some vile foolish calumniators who are violent. There are also some who are vicious. Which category does Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) fall into? If the question overwhelms you, I suggest you check "both". In order to understand the motivation behind his ventures, it is important first to oppose evil wherever it rears its brain-damaged head. If he has any children, I recommend that Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) teach them about love, trust, cooperation, community, reason, negotiation, and compromise rather than violence, paranoia, and fear. To be sure, the few nettlesome blood-stained criminals who deny this are not only wrong, they are willfully crude, but if he succeeds in his attempt to lead to the destruction of the human race, it'll have to be over my dead body. How can he dismantle the family unit and then turn around and shed tears for those who got hurt as a result? There is an obvious inconsistency here. A trip to your local library would reveal that Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) has a blatant disregard for society's basic laws. The use of long run-on sentences, bad metaphors, multiple misspellings, and inappropriately-placed $5 words like "incomprehensibility" does not help his cause at all. As we organize our campaigns against devious big-labor bosses (also known as Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s thralls) and formulate responses to their rhetoric, it is critical that we bring Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) to justice. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we lived in a world without mumpish slobs? I was, however, going to forget about the whole thing when it suddenly occurred to me that I can barely contain myself from going into a laughing fit when I see one of these invidious intellectually-stultified thought police. There is good reason to believe that a day without Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) would be like a day without conceited sadism. I must emphasize this because those who extirpate the things I decidedly cherish do us all a great injustice. It is crystal-clear that Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) spews out so many falsehoods, distortions, and half-truths, that rebuttal requires some lengthy documentation. You may not understand this now, and I don't fault you for that, but there is no longer any room for hope. Strange, isn't it, how abusive egocentric grizzlers are always the first to oppress, segregate, and punish others? Furthermore, obstinate psychics can't even agree among themselves as to how pugnacious Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) is. There are some truths that are so obvious that for this very reason they are not seen, or at least not recognized, by ordinary people. One noteworthy example is the truism that sometimes, what I call frightful undesirables are so crass, they merit special attention. All kidding aside, my personal safety depends upon your starting to give our propaganda fighters an instrument that is very much needed at this time, just as your personal safety depends upon my doing the same. We must, in one voice, cry out that we will not tolerate Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s incomprehensible convictions. Inequality does not beget equality. My purpose is to contribute to the intellectual and spiritual health of the body politic. Most of the battles I fight along the way are exigencies, not long-range educational activities. Nevertheless, Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) is doing the very thing for which he criticizes others. I have seen and heard enough. Now, it is time to draw a picture of what we conceive of under the word "incomprehensibleness". What do you think of this: He has failed to provide us with a context in which his viewpoints could be discussed and understood? Even giving Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) the benefit of the doubt, Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) should just exercise some common sense and some common decency. Unless an open party with unlimited access to alcohol can't possibly outgrow the host's ability to manage the crowd, it is simply wrong to conclude that he can achieve his goals by friendly and moral conduct. There is absolutely nothing these logorrheic nobodies will not do to destroy their enemies. They will poke into the most secret family affairs and not rest until their truffle-searching instinct digs up some impetuous incident that is calculated to finish off their unfortunate victim. Is Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) so morally-questionable as to think that this can go on forever? I used a phrase a few moments ago. I referred to his factotums as "soulless loons." You ought to memorize that phrase, because, frankly, all of the anxious sighing, longing, and hoping of his heart is directed to a time when loud big-mouths can ridicule the accomplishments of generations of great men and women. One could imagine that some good might come from letting him muster enough force to hammer away at the characters of all those who will not help him denigrate and discard all of Western culture. But the only one whose imagination is vivid enough is Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) . Quite frankly, the poisonous wine of sesquipedalianism had been distilled long before he entered the scene. Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) is merely the agent decanting the poisonous fluid from its bottle into the jug that is world humanity. It seems that before I launch into this letter, I should tell you that widespread sectarianism is the price we'd pay for making "ultraphotomicrograph" a dirty word. To organize my discussion, I suggest that we take one step back in the causal chain and mention a bit about iconoclastic amnesiacs such as the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) . Now, it is not my purpose to suggest that this is sufficiently illustrated by the ridicule with which his ethics are treated by everyone other than surly curmudgeons, but rather to step back and consider the problem of his remonstrations in the larger picture of popular culture imagery. Far be it for me to undermine the foundations of society until a single thrust suffices to make the entire edifice collapse. The devil not only finds too much mischief for idle hands to do, but increasingly in our contemporary world, he causes bitter slumlords to convince others that heartless prissy ragamuffins are the "chosen people" of scriptural prophecy. At first, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) just wanted to perpetuate the myth that it's okay for the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) to indulge his every whim and lust without regard for anyone else or for society as a whole. Then, he tried to treat traditional values as if they were wayward careless crimes. Who knows what he'll do next? Education is already suffering as a direct result of his comments. Efforts to silence critical debate and squelch creative brainstorming are not vestiges of a former era. They are the beginnings of a phenomenon which, if permitted to expand unchecked, will impair the practice of democracy. Much of the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s success is due to the rest of us bending over backwards to assist him and to overlook his failings. How does the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) deal with this fascinating piece of information? He totally ignores it. Isn't it odd that the most petulant usurers you'll ever see, whose cantankerous lifestyle will eavesdrop on all classes of private conversations by next weekend, are immune from censure? What I just said is a very important point, but I'm afraid a lot of readers might miss it, so I'll say a few more words on the subject. However deep one delves into the citations and footnotes of his ramblings, and however poised and "mainstream" the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s subordinates appear once challenged, there is no way to forget that the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s rank-and-file followers are the carrion birds of humanity. I claim that deranged unprofessional undesirables who seize control over where we eat, sleep, socialize, and associate with others will, hopefully, eventually be replaced by people who believe in freedom, justice, and the pursuit of personal growth, even though that presupposes a dialectical intertwinement to which a socially-inept turn of mind is impervious. Let no one say that we should avoid personal responsibility. No, this is crafty predatory pauperism and must be regarded as an attempt to make a mockery of the term "undemonstrativeness". A well-respected professor at a nearby university, writing with the dispassionate objectivity that is a precondition of all scientific knowledge, has recently concluded that you can see exactly where this is going. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s utterances are so sophomoric that they are easily taken up and assimilated by profligate prophets of gangsterism, whose intellectual level corresponds to the material offered. Did the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) get dropped on his head when he was young, or did he take massive doses of drugs to believe that he could stultify art and retard the enjoyment and adoration of the beautiful and get away with it? He maintains a cozy relationship with foolhardy sappy-types. Quite simply, if we let him put soulless anthropophagi on the federal payroll, civilization itself will fall. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) , as usual, you prove yourself to be crazy. So don't tell me that he has studiously avoided being contaminated by the facts just because a number of serious questions need to be asked -- and answered -- before we give him carte blanche to prevent me from sleeping soundly at night. Whatever else may be the case, it is certain that his antics are not just about insurrectionism but also about careerism. To tolerate the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s squalid op-ed pieces simply because they're not packaged and sold as blasphemous is to force us to bow down low before the most unprincipled misfits you'll ever see. You might think this is all pretty funny now, but I doubt I'll hear you laughing if, in a lustrum or two, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) is successfully able to seek temporary tactical alliances with snivelling hectoring oafs in order to turn peaceful gatherings into embarrassing scandals. Don't misunderstand me; I'm not saying it's good that his acolytes are trying to perpetuate harmful stereotypes. In fact, the continuing misunderstandings that some disaffected unambitious ivory-tower academics seem to have merely underscore this point. This is a truth that the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s co-conspirators are told by the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) that they cannot acknowledge, lest they give aid and comfort to the rest of us. There are different ways of reconciling oneself to this unpleasant, yet really improvident, fact. Some people see nothing at all, or rather, want to see nothing. Others are perfectly well aware of the insufferable consequences which this plague must and will some day induce, but only shrug their shoulders, convinced that nothing can be done, so the only thing to do is to leave things alone. Some goofy cynical self-promoters have raised objections to my writings, but their objections are all politically motivated. The bulk of vicious monomaniacs are at least marginally tolerable, but not he. I must protest his use of unpatriotic peddlers of snake-oil remedies to achieve his disruptive goals. History offers innumerable examples for the truth of this assertion. If we contradict the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) , we are labelled offensive stool pigeons. If we capitulate, however, we forfeit our freedoms. I don't mean to imply that anal-retentive adolescents have traditionally tried to piggyback on substantive issues to gain legitimacy for themselves, but it's true, nonetheless. Absolutism represents a satanic wishy-washy form of divide-and-conquer. Here, too, the exception proves the rule: I shall make every effort, especially in this limited space, to discuss, openly and candidly, a vision for a harmonious, multiracial society. Think about that for a moment. Think about this: I'm not actually demanding revenge. What is happening between the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s toadies and us is not a debate. It is not a friendly disagreement between enlightened people. It is a jejune attack on our most cherished institutions. When one looks at this indecent parade of pigheaded drunks, one instantly thinks of the word "histomorphologically". Has the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) told his sycophants that he wants to control your bank account, your employment, your personal safety, and your mind? Has the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) given any thought to what would happen if he did? Of course, these questions are ridiculous -- as ridiculous as the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s subversive amoral criticisms. His declamations are despised by everyone but bestial soporific knuckleheads, yet he spews out so many falsehoods, distortions, and half-truths, that rebuttal requires some lengthy documentation. This sort of vertiginous paradox is well known to most incomprehensible extremists. Please don't misread my words here; when the war against reason is backed by a large cadre of lewd lunatics, the results are even more mudslinging. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) knows perfectly well that that statement can be most easily defended, since it is not quantitative, but qualitative. Likewise, he can't relate to anyone other than unregenerate tasteless rubes. Well, writing this letter has undeniably made me want to kill the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) . Excuse me while I take a shower and cool off. What that means, simply put, is that last summer, I attempted what I knew would be a hopeless task. I tried to convince Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) that other presumptuous poseurs are also consumed with a desire to give crotchety knuckleheads far more credibility than they deserve. As I expected, Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) was unconvinced. His subalterns can conceive of nothing but demented lousy defenses of his mendacious gin-swilling contrivances. Likewise, in times of economic, social, or political crisis, small groups that impose a particular curriculum, vision of history, and method of pedagogy on our school systems suddenly gain a mass following. One final point: Facts and their accuracy make a story, not the overdramatization of whatever the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) dreams up. The nature and extent of our current national crisis, as well as its causes and cures, are the subject of intense political struggle. I offer this letter as a contribution to that struggle and debate in hopes of helping to address the continued social injustice shown by escapism-prone rancorous rabble-rousers. What follows is the story of how the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) can be so rich in the rhetoric of democracy and yet so poor in its implementation. If he ever claims that the Universe belongs to him by right, we must answer only one thing: "No, the reverse is true." He makes it sound like he's some perfect angel of unstained ethical standards. It saddens me that it's my understanding that the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s publicity stunts constitute one of the many conduits of oligarchism in our culture. Of course, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) attempts to sound intelligent by cramming as many big words into a sentence as possible, whether they are used correctly or not. I myself would not have thought it possible that I will not let myself be forced into anything, but it's true. It's incredible to me that anybody could be so wretched. But it doesn't stop there. I wish that some of the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s underlings would ask themselves, "Why am I helping the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) consign our traditional values to the rubbish heap of colonialism?" And, more important, some deep void within the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) makes it necessary for him to subordinate all spheres of society to an ideological vision of organic community. This point is so important that it deserves a separate discussion, which I'll provide in a moment. To say otherwise would be loquacious. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) has no evidence or examples to back up his point. Surprised? You shouldn't be, because the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s perceptions of a vast conspiracy lead him to inappropriate assessments of even the most innocent interactions with grungy eccentric twits. Already, some the worst classes of insipid stool pigeons I've ever seen have begun to impair the practice of democracy, and with terrifying and tragic results. What tracts will follow from their camp is anyone's guess. He will impose a "glass ceiling" that limits our opportunities for promotions in most jobs long before he can convert me into one of his slaves. We can say that perception becomes reality if one is brainwashed for long enough, and the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) can claim the opposite, and it won't make one bit of difference. I don't have time to go into this in as much detail as I should, but some abominable malignant idiots don't have a clue. If we take his threats to their logical conclusion, we see that in the immediate years ahead, he will guarantee the destruction of anything that looks like a vital community. Does the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) realize he's more deranged than most sleazy bullies? The truth hurts, doesn't it, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) ? Ask him about any of his subordinates who sanctify his depravity, and the deplorable jerk will say, "I never meant they should go that far." Mean-spirited fanatics don't know the difference between right and wrong, but given the way things are these days, we must remember that the passage of time will make it clear to even the more slow among us that all of his maneuvers share elements of traditional, insidious conspiracy themes in which recalcitrant biased Philistines secretly pass off all sorts of callow and obviously demented stuff on others as a so-called "inner experience". Accompanying this recognition of the indeterminateness of verifiability with regard to an external, objective reality has been a crisis regarding our ability to know that the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) works from the false assumption that most people actually want phlegmatic mob bosses to attack the fabric of this nation. It's not just that I have no interest in getting tangled in the rhetoric or dogma that the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) frequently pushes, but also that permitting diabolic cruel louts to open new avenues for the expression of hate is tantamount to suicide. His personal attacks have no redeeming value. When all discoverable facts and experience fly in the face of the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s superstitious world view, the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) stubbornly holds onto his ignorance as his birthright. As one commentator put it, he spews nothing but lame retorts and innuendoes. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) must think that being garrulous entitles one to promote the total destruction of individuality in favor of an all-powerful group. My argument is that his ideas are a quick-fix detour, a placebo aimed at surface symptoms, and an excuse to provide cover for a lame-brained vindictive agenda. Ridiculous? Not so. His pronouncements will cause more harm than good. I kid you not. So maybe it can be distinguished only with difficulty which of his operatives act out of inner stupidity or incompetence and which only pretend to for whatever gloomy, crass reason. Big deal. What's more important is that only profligate mystics are capable of imagining that the average working-class person can't see through his chicanery. Do you really think the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) will ever learn from his mistakes? I suspect that he should take more personal responsibility for his actions. I wish I could put it more delicately, but that would miss the point. I decisively believe that we should denounce his pleas, and I have formalized my commitment to this high ideal by ensuring that I always anneal discourse with honesty, clear thinking, and a sense of moral good. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) , get a life! Is his head really buried too deep in the sand to know that he should feel ashamed of himself? Simply put, if his secret agents get their way, society as we know it will cease to exist. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s scribblings use a philosophical device of asking one question, answering an utterly different question, and then applying that answer to the original question. Let no one say that the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky)'s vituperations prevent smallpox. No, this is disdainful Stalinism and must be regarded as an attempt to make excessive use of foul language. We must worry about two kinds of brainless beggars: scary and sullen. the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) is among the former. I have no problem with the manifestly obvious statement that we must coolly and objectively adopt the standpoint that we live in a deeply troubled society. I have no problem with the idea that I am inwardly repelled by the pettifogging phraseology of his proposed social programs and the disagreeable style in which they are expressed. And I have no problem with the special privileges occasionally granted to catty yokels. What I do have a problem with are his unregenerate cranky smear tactics. What that means, simply put, is that we must draw the line somewhere. In order for us to realize more happiness in our lives, we need to understand that I am highly critical of those who tolerate or apologize for people who work with the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) . I unequivocally don't want my community tainted with such blatant nonrepresentationalism, as evidenced by the way that I recommend that we invite all people who have been harmed by the Purple Teletubbie (Tinky-Winky) to continue to express and assert their concerns in a constructive and productive fashion. Most people are loath to admit that we ought to teach him a lesson. It is tempting to look for simple solutions to that problem, but there are no simple solutions. I could be wrong about any or all of this, but at the moment, the above fits what I know of history, people, and current conditions. If anyone sees anything wrong or has some new facts or theories on this, I'd love to hear about them.

bored today, Tommy?

blame it on parenthood!
~KitchenManager #32
everything, or just IT?
~riette #33
THere are nice things to blame on parenthood too - like losing one's mind. I find it refreshing. But what IT were we talking about? Probably IT rather than everything though. Some things can be blamed on my grandmother - oh God, she just flew past my window with a Bible under her arm.....

sex-withdrawal delusions?
~riette #35
I'm not sure. She wasn't naked or anything. Except she was sitting on a vertical broom....
~KitchenManager #36
with or without a smile?
~riette #37
Defenitely with. But it could have also been a constipated look. I'm not sure.
~KitchenManager #38
I understand
~riette #39
Don't we all! But I prefer reading Schopenhauer when that happens - inspires greater pushing...
Help!
