Condemnation by Falwell igniting sales of Tinky Winky dolls, creating gay icon
By Brooks Egerton


How do you create a gay icon? Get the Rev. Jerry Falwell to condemn your product. Sounds like a joke, but that's how the Tinky Winky story is playing out across the country.

In stores and online, adults are snapping up dolls based on the British children's TV character. He has been invited to lead a parade in Berkeley, Calif. An East Dallas hair salon, On the Avenue, advertises that it's "Tinky Winky Friendly."

And at Afterwords cafe in a gay area of the nation's capital, you can eat "Tinky Winky Ravioli." The menu promises "cheese-filled purple triangle pasta 'purses' - oops, we meant 'magic bags.'"

The law of unintended consequences kicked in last month almost as soon as network newscasters highlighted Mr. Falwell's take on Tinky, one of four colorful Teletubbies.
He [Tinky Winky] is purple - the gay-pride color, and his antenna is shaped like a triangle - the gay pride symbol. - Jerry Falwell
