So would I, as I said, but I can't escape the feeling that maybe we have been taking the blue pill in regular doses all this time, and the prescription for the red pill expired a long, long time ago. Perhaps it's because I have just seen yet another reference to Squid on Tim's comic site.

I think the Tellytubby fad is in the same vein as the horrid Beanie Babie craze. Both are ridiculous. But...since Jerry what's-his-face has publicly condemned the show for being pro-gay and featuring a homosexual teletubbie creature, I wouldn't mind being associated with ol' Tinky Winky. Only, I think those things are too frightful-looking to keep one.
