Welcome back friends to Inform Overload, Im your Information Overlord Johnny Rogers.
If you happen to be new here we take the most interesting news stories on the internet and
make them more entertaining.
Although this one will be a doozy for sure, dont know how I can make the dark truth of
the teletubbies entertaining, but Im always up for a challenge.
First and foremost I gotta say rest in peace to the actor who played Tinky Winky, thats
the purple teletubby.
Back in January of 2018 Simon Shelton was found frozen to in the streets of Liverpool
after collapsing due to his alcoholism.
Simon was 52 years old at the time and had a history of alcohol dependence.
At around 715am his body was found in a well between the Port of Liverpool Building and
the street.
This often occurs in actors who get a big role and more money than they know what to
do with.
For the 10th anniversary of the show they did a big reveal of who the actors and actresses
were behind the popular characters.
Simon himself even said in an interview about their tour that it was incredible and felt
like being one of the Beatles.
Another shocking thing to learn about the Teletubbies squad is just how tall they were.
On television you would assume they were small or at least a similar size to the average
adult, but no no youd be way off.
In real life the Teletubbies stand anywhere from 6 feet to over 11 feet tall.
Which for whatever reason just makes them even more terrifying to me now.
Speaking of giants, did you know that the famous rabbits the teletubbies would gaze
upon in their garden are actually a giant species of rabbit.
Theyre called Flemish Giant rabbits and the reason for selecting these types of rabbits
was to make the teletubbies appear to be a normal size.
If youre looking at them in proportion to the rabbits then you would immediately assume
they were of average height.
Now while that is a very dark truth about the teletubbies, lets dive into the more dark
fan theories that have circulated for years about them.
Again they are fan theories so just take all of this with a grain of salt.
Its believed that the rising baby faced sun we see during the intro of the teletubbies
is actually a demon.
Many have claimed to see a demonic face slowly taking over the babies face as the sun expands
into the cutscene of going over the hill.
Apparently these people believe that when the sun explodes, just for a second, it send
subliminal messages to children.
Another disturbing theory is that the teletubbies are actually bio genetically engineered slaves.
I mean there really isnt a backstory to why the teletubbies do anything in this show.
Going with the idea that they are actually slaves makes a lot of the show make sense.
Allow me to explain.
Theres always this mystery voice that literally tells them what to do, everything from when
to sleep to when to eat.
Theres also a weird vacuum character who is almost there as an enforcer to keep them in
check.
Lastly theres this Pinwheel that serves as almost a place of worship for them.
Its their god-like structure on top of the hill and whenever it spins they automatically
drop everything theyre doing and fall to their knees to worship it.
Very weird stuff.
Probably more disturbing than them being slaves is that the show was mean to hypnotize children
around the world.
Parents even boycotted the show after watching those microphones rise from the ground and
start chanting - time for teletubbies - The repetition of this statement made many parents
think the show was actually attempting to brainwash their kids.
Even weirder than that is the connection that fans made between the teletubbies and Harry
Potter.
Both of which were released in 1997 and the connection is made because of those antennas
they where on their heads.
The attennas match the same symbols that JK Rowling used for the Deathly Hallows in the
Harry Potter Universe.
Laa-Laa even has a lightning bolt antenna similar to the scar on Harrys head.
