    If he figures that out and complains about it, so be it, till then, he's watching it

    Besides, the tellytubbies and Barney the dinosaur are hardly sterling figures of masculinity?

    No they were not.It has been widely accepted for years that Bert is evil...but they are not gay.

    And if they were openly heterosexual, would that be inappropriate for the children?

    Yes but in different formats in different countries. For example it's on UTV or BBC NI (not sure which) and the puppet characters are protestants and catholics learning to live together. It's on in South Africa with the Black, Whites and Coloured characters. It's really sweet and excellent for the kids.

    They've a good website. Google it.
