Jerry Falwell tried to warn the world about the Purple Teletubby Tinky Winky, but everyone laughed, here. Well, they’re not laughing now in London where the television character is being sought by police in a Halloween armed robbery.
Tinky Winky was implicated in the crime of robbing a woman at gunpoint in the center of London. It turns out that Falwell was wrong in one sense: Tinky Winky wears a purse not because he is gay but because he just snatched the purse from some old lady.

Booo!!!!!
