1999mar24. This just came in over the Teletubby Wire: Wal-Mart is producing Telebutty knock-off dolls called “Bubbly Chubbies" - they sit on the shelves next to the originals. They’re being sued by Itsy Bitsy. The Bubbly Chubbies are purebred EVIL – you press the button on their tummies and their eyes light up BLOOD RED. This is not explained in the article, but then again, there is this quote.
But Rev Falwell has since denied “outing” the Teletubby, whose favourite pastimes tend to involve eating custard and skipping.
You see, Jerry? You two have a lot in common! Actually, I enjoy both of these activities as well. [groaner coming up ] Does that mean I’m a Teletubby?
