A senior Polish official has ordered psychologists to investigate whether the popular BBC TV show Teletubbies promotes a homosexual lifestyle.
"I noticed he was carrying a woman's handbag," she told a magazine. "At first, I didn't realise he was a boy."
Tinky Winky's psychological evaluation is being treated fairly light-heartedly by many people here.
One radio station asked its listeners to vote for the most suspicious children's show. Some e-mailed in, saying that Winnie the Pooh had only male friends
Last month the European Union singled out Poland for criticism in its resolution condemning homophobia in the 27-member bloc.
On the good side, at least the psychological profiling might finally remove the mystery regarding Tinky Winky's sexuality, a puzzle that has haunted humanity since the late 1990s.
