Some childhood memories are sacred , innocent recollections of ones infant years . Crackerjack Pencils , John Noakes being dragged around the Blue Peter studio by a defacating Elephant or being told it was 'time for bed' by a moustached spring by the name of Zebedee . Add into the mix an american children's programme which provided entertaining viewing with an educational slant (If you ignore their insistance on calling the 26th letter of the alphabet 'Zeee') . The programme featured presenters and guests of different ethnicities , a social enlightenment to many youngsters on this side of the Pond , and many costumed amimal characters such as Big Bird and Kermit The Frog . Add to the mix 2 puppets characterising a couple of guys , one older and wiser than the other , who went by the names of Bert and Ernie . Fond memories indeed of a long distant televisual feast that I , and many others , have carried in our hearts for 40 years or more .
Innocent creations that clearly had no deviant undertones , until now . Because this morning I hear that the producers of Sesame Street have been forced to come out and publicly state that the aforementioned Bert and Ernie were NOT a gay couple ! WTF ! Did I hear that correctly . Yep , 100% ! The producer of Sesame Street has made a statement to the effect that "Bert and Ernie were 'best friends' and have no sexual orientation" . Now , bearing in mind that this was a TV show viewed by pre-teens , sexual orientation shouldn't even enter the equation but hey-ho , gender-awareness has reared its ugly head and penetrated a subject that should have been well off the radar . Now , correct me if I'm wrong (I often am) but we are talking about puppets , animated characters thrown together using a few scraps of cloth and a couple of wigs and although I can't recall ever observing them below the waist I'm 99% certain that the creators of these figures didn't use any of the materials at hand to fashion replica genitalia , thus rendering their possible sexual orientation / activity totally irrelevant .
So that begs the question : Why do these freaks have to 'gender-assess' everything that moves ? Why can't they leave children to be children and puppets to be puppets ? This craziness has got so out of control I cannot see it being reversed especially when media outlets cover the story with an air of seriousness almost suggesting that this is a subject that needs to be discussed by psychologists and academics .
I dread to think what they're gonna make of the Teletubbies in years to come .....

I totally oppose your view reyn - it is correct that gendaar assessment and re-assessment be maintained. It should be vigorously checked/examined hour by hour to monitor change. This should be crucial should some won suddenly alter gender. Remember all the self declarers. Think of the damage that could be caused if you make an error. Assessment should be accurate and swift. In fact I am proposing we should have gender assessment officers patrolling the streets to maintain scrutiny of gender behaviour. Dinosaurs like you need to be put in you're plaice. The new world beckons - open your arms(?) and embrace. Drink your Victory gin, and relax (everybody's doing it. Just do it - as the song goes)
I hope I have helped you hear. ps leave the teletubbies alone - they ARE the future of the new neutered species |

I still recall Morcambe & Wise sketches / bedroom scenes with amusement rather than disgust .
The viewing nation , with very few exceptions , saw two grown men sharing a bed and simply laughed at the humour rather than making lurid remarks . I soooooooo wanna go back in time to those days of innocence and freedom  |

How old was Zebedee? Always saying to Florence, a young girl, its time for bed.
Is he a pedo? Is Florence on the game? |

They can't leave nothing alone hence why the viewing figures are dropping for absolutely everything and they put it down to something phobic
No its because no one wants to watch that bile your pumping out, no one wants to be lectured to 24/7 I'm intrigued to see how Doctor Who gets on in the viewing stakes, no doubt it'll be the greatest thing to be watched by a massive 2m viewers ever |

Can you remember when Eastenders was fun to watch? where watching it wasn't something to be ashamed of
Nasty Nick burping in a cell when admitting to killing "the old git"   "So I kicked his head in" I would post his speech to Mark Fowler about the immigration problem but don't wanna risk getting banned Back before TV was ruined by Ofcom  |

It's a best-priced 1.02 that the one with the handbag will be rewritten by history (and a BBC4 documentary) as an early Trans role model. And it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the little red one has been subjected to FGM, 'for her own good' without anything so ungentlemanly as a prosecution. |

Bert and Ernie must have been gay and should have outed themselves years ago. After all, they spent their entire TV careers with a male hand up their 'arris!!! |

'In the Young Guardian of September 13 [1991] we stated that the Captain Pugwash cartoon series featured characters called Seaman Staines and Master Bates, and for that reason the series had never been repeated by the BBC. We accept that it is untrue that there ever were any such characters. Furthermore, the series continues to be shown on television and on video. We apologize to Mr. Ryan, the creator, writer and artist of the Captain Pugwash films and books. We have agreed to pay him damages and his legal costs.'
ps the cabin boy was called Tom |

I think you'll find the damages and legal costs were paid by the British public via their licence fees !  |
