Tinky Winky. Armed and dangerous! 6'2" to 6'4", 200 to 240 pounds, muscular build, short, dark hair, clean shaven, and purple.

Just think how many police constables live their lives, work long hours, and serve long and distinguished careers, without ever once getting to utter the sentence, "He was deemed not to be the teletubby we were looking for."

The purple teletubby always gets the worst press; first Falwell and now this?

YES.

The only way to make the Current Economic Climate bearable is the introduction of Dick Tracy-style villians into everyday life. Sure, no one likes being robbed, but wouldn't it be bearable if you where held at walkings stick-gunpoint by a man in a tux who calls himself The Raconteur?

Jerry Falwell claimed the character was a homosexual role model because he carried a magic bag that looked like a lady's purse.

Huh. I thought that was because his antenna was a triangle and he's purple.

"He was deemed not to be the teletubby we were looking for." maybe Tinky was working with Obi-Wan?

Tinky Winky is just troubled. You don't know him like I do.
