"They" are unable to get it because mammy and pappy are much more concerned with the gay teletubby than they are about putting food on the kitchen table come early next year. Mammy and pappy simply do not have the smarts in their head to understand all of this talk about Y2K, fiat money, stock market bubbles, houses of cards, balance of power, nuclear war, WACO, Ruby Ridge, Princess Diana, Female mud-wrestling, terrorists, the Leonoid Dicapprio Meteor Showers, Earth changes, Art Bell, UFO's, and the like.

They would rather wish they were teletubbies living in a happy little surreal world running around with 'cutsie' little names like Po or Pum Pum or Sushi Belushi, wearing cute little colors like puke green or barf brown with annoying little high pitched voices, giggiling with the freaky little sun-boy, having every action dictated by a faceless, amorphous, anonomous, cryptic announcer. Nothing bad ever happens in this world, and one does not need to think on his own. No internet to challenge one's belief in the freaky little sun-boy, no computers to mess up their new-years eve plans.

Everything is perfect in the world of the TeleTubbys. Men prancing around in gay pride colors carrying purses spreading rainbow colored window stickers on everyones automobiles against their wishes. Traffic Jams caused by clueless little half alien, half embryo, half nuerotic nightmare creatures who selfishly contol the supply of all the tubby-custard and tubby-toast bringing the entire world to its knees as they control the flow of these precious commodities as they were mere poker chips in a deadly game of world dominance.

Mammy and Pappy merely assume that the TeleTubbies will fix the Y2K problem, never realizing that the TeleTubbies are fictional telvesion characters who do not exist in real life.

And you dear reader are probably really annoyed with me right now. But it would have been very easy just to ignore my post. By now, you know better than to read anything I post. You could have seen where this post was going and chosen not to read it, but no, YOU DID NOT HAVE THE SELF CONTROL. Now you are going to whine that we need censorship on TB2000, simply because you cannot control yourselves. But this is not your fault, no rather you blame the trolls for all of your problems.

Well, I did not create your problems, I just tried to make you laugh once in a while, bring a little joy into your life, and this is how you treat me. And you are still reading this. I even suggested you to leave this thread, but you cannot do it. No. Not even for a minute. Well, I gotta run, the Teletubbies are on.

Well, actually, you demonstrate why we DON'T remove most of the posts, as you create your own level of credibility, or lack therof.

The reason people don't GI is the media, pure and simple. No one told the American public. There is no information available unless you're a Y2K news addict and alert.

Actually Mr Nugget,

TellyTubbys are a very clever manifestation of a long term CIA plan to MKUltra mind control our kids to accept without question the coming Alien Invasion.

Butt,

I have this image of their being a Teletubby marathon in your area, and you were forced to watch it, due to a broken clicker...

All I know is that grinning face in the sky scares the crap outta me. It always looks.....kinda hungry....

My cat likes to watch the teletubbies. When I watch TTs (rarely) it induces a pleasantly narcoleptic effect. Maybe that's sign that I am being subliminally programmed by its extraterrestrial writers/designers. And what's up with those huge mutant rabbits? Are they supposed to get us used to the idea that it's okay for scientists to make monsters out of cute, cuddly animals?

coprolith:

I've read that since the Teletubbies are oversized, (Tinky-Winky is 10 feet tall -- Po is 6 feet), all of the props must be likewised rendered larger to scale. Thus you see large rabbits and large flowers.

BTW, they have trouble with the rabbits breeding during filming. Of course, that's why editors have job security...

A good rant is always welcome here as far as I'm concerned. It was a tad condescending but I understand the exasperation. Those teletubbies are scary but so is Ronald McDonald.

-- R (riversoma@aol.com), September 07, 1999.

That's because Ronald is from France.
