remember the tinky winky controversy?

[Limeoutsider]

The Rev. Jerry Falwell recently outed Tinky Winky, from the television
show, "Teletubbies", because, Falwell pronounced, "The character is
clearly a fount of gayness. He is purple, the gay color, he has an
antenna shaped like a triangle, the gay symbol, and he carries a purse,
something all gay people do." But Falwell's work is far from over.
Following are some other targets he is preparing to go after...

Fred Flintstone
Evidence: His nickname on the Bedrock bowling team; "Twinkle-Toes
Flintstones." The show's theme song ends "...we'll have a gay old time!"
He wears an orange vest with little triangles on it. Hangs out with
Barney far more than Wilma.

Bugs Bunny
Evidence: Often stands with hand on hip. Plays a hairdresser in one
episode. Frequently dresses in drag. Loves to throw on a top hat and
tails and belts out Broadway show-tunes with his buddy Daffy, who, it is
worth noting, has a lisp.

Velma (of Scooby Doo)
Evidence: Always tries to sit next to Daphne in the Mystery Machine.
Sports that butch haircut. Has broad shoulders and wears thick
turtleneck sweaters and knee socks. Never once shagged Shaggy.

Popeye
Evidence: Eats lots of salad. Wears a sailor suit, even though he hasn't
been on a ship in years. Does little sailor dances. Dates a flat-chested
transvestite named Olive Oyl. Best friend named Wimpy.

Batman and Robin
Evidence: Robin's nickname - Boy Wonder. Batman's real name is Bruce.
Both wear tights. They're in great shape. They like to show each other
their "grappling hooks."

Peppermint Patty
Evidence: Has a deep, gravelly voice. Wears pants, not dresses like the
other Peanuts gals. Plays a mean game of football. Likes to taunt
Charlie Brown. Always hanging out with that androgynous Marcie. Wears
comfortable shoes. Nickname; Sir.

The Pink Panther
Enough said.

Hey, everybody's gotta make a buck. Give the poor slob a break, he's found his niche. But he does seem to be quite concerned with the sexual orientation of... cartoon characters ???

BTW, Pat Robertson is going to 'out' Jerry next week.

Pat's gotta make a buck too.

 

[Limeoutsider]

I dont know who that is, care to explain? I like your signature!

 

[TicklishPhoebe]

You don't know who Pat Robertson is?

He's actually very, very similar to Jerry Falwell.

 

[TKpervert]

Yep, Phoebe got it right. They're birds of a feather, two peas in a pod, and several other clunky cliches that escape me at the moment.

Here's a rather boring link I'm throwing in just to show that yes indeed, Pat Robertson is well known and lives in the same pea pod with Jerry:

[ShiningIce]

Falwell wanted to lead a protest at one of our earlier football games but uh he wisened up homophobia in Berkeley yeah right

 

[He-Man]

Peppermint Patty isn't gay...she's a tomboy. And she's been shown to be thinking about Charlie Brown (who she calls "Chuck") alot. I remember reading on the peanuts website that both she and Marcie have feelings for him..but that's one thing they both don't know about each other. So there...Peppermint Patty isn't gay. nyah nyah! lol 😛 😀


And man, some guy on a special about the 80's seems to think I, He-Man, am a gay cartoon character because, accordin to him "Skeletor is a skeleton..and skeletons are usually 'in a closet' ..." and some other b.s.

Skeletor ain't no skeleton--he's a guy who got his face burned off his skull! The rest of him is flesh, so that kills that guy's theory right there. Ha!

Yes, the Prince Adam shown in the old cartoon wore a pink vest....but that was really an evil illusion spell cast by Evil-Lynn. I'm still gonna kick her butt for that..and the hair stylist's butt for makin my haircut like it was...I like my new 2002 look much better. 😎

If that jerk who said that telletubby was gay says I am, he shall be destroyed BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!....because.....

*echoing voice * IIIIII HAVE THE POWWWWERRRR!!!

 

[grippedchimp]

Tinky Winky like totally rocks! Gay pride forever! Oh never mind...
I've more prospected "gay" children's characters. Some of these I saw in a UK tabloid called The Sun...

Thomas The Tank Engine
Evidence: Enjoys shunting with Percy

Fred (Scooby-Doo)
Evidence: The red hankie around his neck screams camp, and never screws Daphne when they "split up". Seems the only straight kids in the Scooby-Doo gang are Shaggy (his name is rather naughty to us Brits) and Daphne (who DOESN'T fancy her?)

Captain Pugwash (and crew)
Evidence: With his crew having names like Master Bates, Seaman Staines and Roger the Cabin Boy, grown-ups are bound to be suspicious. Hell, Captain Pugwash doesn't sound too innocent either...

Man, there's more. Homer Simpson was even accused of being a little gay, but I'll leave it there for now...

 

[grippedchimp]

And another thing, Skeletor's voice sounds kinda gay, but it makes me laugh!

 

[Oddjob0226]

Remember the old Davy & Goliath animated series (they also did the Mountain Dew commercial failry recently)?

Well, check THIS shzit out:

Davy Hanson is the Son of Sam!

Davy Hansen David Berkowitz

Both born in the 1950s.

Both talked about God with a dog.

Berkowitz drove a yellow VW bug. Davy's dad drove a yellow van of some kind.

Both were 18 inches and stuffed with sawdust (still checking this fact...)

I know Mad t.v. did a Davy Berkowitz sketch a few years ago - but I figured all this out back in college around 1991. F! Mad TV!

And of course, Radar's "Uncle Ed" from MASH was Ed Gein....

Both were farmers, the 1950s, the name 'Ed', Watomwa Iowa, its all there....

 

[kurchatovium]

In this case I have to say Falwell is a nut case. He is to religion what John Tesh is to the music industry.

Although Tesh does have a sense of humor about himself and how many music fans see him. Fallwell took Penthouse to court over a dirty cartoon!

 

[kurchatovium]

OK maybe your right. Falwell is to religion what Kathy Lee Gifford is to music.😀

 

[Oddjob0226]

OK maybe your right. Falwell is to religion what Kathy Lee Gifford is to music.😀

I always SUSPECTED Falwell had Guatamalan children writing his sermons......

 

[AffectionateDan]

Captain Pugwash (and crew)
Evidence: With his crew having names like Master Bates, Seaman Staines and Roger the Cabin Boy, grown-ups are bound to be suspicious. Hell, Captain Pugwash doesn't sound too innocent either...

Whoa, Ahoy there, matey! What the hell show is this? Is that a real show? Those take a little reading into, but I mean, COME ON! Those character names (provided you're not kidding about it being from a show) are no accident! LMAO! (in best piratical voice) Arrrrrr, shiver me timbers, me buckos! Strike yer skivvies, and prepare ta be boarded, ya lubber!

Does anybody even take those televangelists seriously, I mean, really? Sheesh! Those losers are soooooooooo hypocritical, anyhow. Not that I'm gay, mind you. But what's next, after all the evils of homosexuality are revealed? Witch hunting for fun and profit? Or maybe us wicked ticklphiles and all our sinner's ways? Gimme a break. Like the rest of the world doesn't have more important issues to worry about, especially these days, with religious fundamentalists crashing planes full of people into buildings full of more people. Judge not, lest ye be judged! Hee! Or how about this one... Let he without sin cast the first stone. Oh man, THAT'S gonna open a can of worms! --snicker--

 

[AffectionateDan]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

In this case I have to say Falwell is a nut case. He is to religion what John Tesh is to the music industry.

SMACK! ROFL!

 

[grippedchimp]

I just read that stuff was a rumour. It was an "urban myth". Mind you, read this page about it...

http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/pugwash.htm

Turns out Roger's real name is Tom, Seaman Staines was replaced by Willy (hur hur) and Master Bates' last name is actually Mate. Mind you, "Pugwash" is Australian slang for oral sex...

Well while Falwell and Pat Robinson may be classifed as "extremist" in their religious opinions, there are others out there who make them look like perfect saints. There are 2 people I call the poster-people for "evangalist frauds"........


1. Tammy Faye-Bakker..... For years we've seen her on TV begging for donations so that their ministries can help "the less fortunate". Tammy Faye was excellent at crying on cue, and tears flowed down her face, washing away the 15 levels of mascara. But Tammy Faye was also skimming money from the donations and building several very expenisve houses on prime real estate, and letting her then-husband Jim Bakker take the fall


Robert Tilton.....If there is a name that personified the very essence of "evangalist frauds", it has to be Robert Tilton. He pleaded with people to give him money, promising miracles in return. One lady gave Tilton a check for $50,000 so he could "heal" her bed-riddem husband who was suffering from cancer. A month later, he died and she was getting responses from Tilton saying that the Lord would heal her husband.


Back in the hey-day of the Tilton fiasco, SNL did a skit about him and I forgot how it went, but the line I recalled was "All sins will be forgiven my brothers and sisters. Usually the price for forgiveness is $199.95, but act now and all sins are forgiven for the low price of $49.95 plus tax"

 

[Limeoutsider]

Whoa, Ahoy there, matey! What the hell show is this? Is that a real show?

I do not know, I just found it was funny that someone was trying to accuse animated drawings of being gay.
