Ah! The teletubby who replaced TinkyWinky when TinkyWinky was determined to be too gay?
t random
I've seen the bloke who was the original tinky winky doing standup, fwiw. And he was one FILTHY and perverse comic. Which I liked.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Not to digress about homosexuality, but I've been having a lively debate about sex portrayals in sexuality textbooks. It's sort of funny, because all of us on the team are used to the terminology, of talking about this act and that position without giggling or awkward silences, but then we have to step back and ask, "What will get us investigated at the University of Kansas?"
(That really happened -- a prof at KU was showing sexually explicit learning materials in his sexuality course, and was accused in the state legislature of showing pornography.)
Needless to say, this continues to shoot down my basic argument that 5 pages of drawings showing different f/m intercourse positions, to one drawing of two naked men basically waving hello to each other, is a rather unbalanced portrayal of the realm of sexual expression.

But what were they waving hello WITH?

Well, in Kansas they probably want you to take out the waving, too.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Sadly, their hands.
That's our wimpiest book, though. The better ones at least have mutual masturbation and tribidism portrayed, although they are still dwarfed by the coverage of how to insert a penis into a vagina to best advantage. Cunnilingus and fellatio are het couples, and are, how you say, not drawn from models -- the perspective is all wonky and makes it look like women can fold their legs above their heads, e.g. No drawings of anal sex or the actual use of sex toys. (Sex toys are OK when they are sitting still by themselves on a shelf.)

... and now I want to write a regency romance in which the poor sex toy is saved by a tall, dark, handsome chap from the sorrow of being left on the shelf.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I know not of this "tribidism"

I can say from personal experience that they are funny as hell when sitting by themselves on a shelf, showing off their handy-dandy rotating feature.
