We have the original Po doll that was recalled because people were mis-interpreting her.

Not to offend anyone but did they ever decide which one was gay? or was that just what people wanted to think?

No! 
I am hoping that these are sex-less little creatures, so a sexual identity would be a mute point. But if one were going to be gay, it would be Tinky Winky.

Well, being a Teletubbie conniseur (I have a 2 1/2 year old, this is what I know:
Have you ever wondered at the slight coloring differences in their faces? I read an article in the USA TOday way back when the Teletubbies first came to the US, and Dipsy is supposed to emulate a Black Tubby, and Po is supposed to be Asian, and I can't remember what Tinky Winky and Laa Laa are supposed to be.
They are NOT sexless creatures. Tinky Winky and Dipsy are male (they are first in the line up incidentally) and Laa Laa and Po are girls. They refer to each respectively as him and her.
Tinky Winky IS suspect. He carries around a red purse (not only seemingly gay, but a poor fashion choice, since TW is purple).
That's about all I know. I was personally perturbed by the baby in the sun the first time I saw it. My daughter likes them, but not as much anymore. She discovered Dora the Explorer and Blue's Clue's, her shows of choice nowadays.

I wasn't refering to their gender. I was just hoping that teletubbies don't have sex .

LOL! I used to watch the Tubbies all the time. Freshman year in college I had the Laa-Laa and Po dolls and a poster in my room. There's something oddly soothing about them.

this is the thing that REALLY freaks me out. I hope no one ever puts it on while I am enjoying an adult beverage.

i cant handle telletubbies. then again 'sleeping beauty' still gives me nightmares. no offensive to those who like that movie, but i think it came staight from the devil himself. anyway, i am getting away from the point- telletubbies is just plain freaky. i think the creators had a few screws loose upstairs.

about the hundrenth time you have heard the Elmo World's song you pretty much want to rip your ears off so you won't have to hear it again......but whatever keeps the kids happy!

I feel your pain. We have 3 Elmo tapes and my son (18 months old) will watch them over and over and over. He knows them by heart...but you know what...he can count!
