What a filthy mind that pastor has. I loved Rainbow, Bungle was my favourite..

Seems to have been partially successful as there certainly seems to be an obsession with homosexuality in daily life.

[murraymints]

[Baldric]

[murraymints]

At the time 'Rainbow'was popular I worked in a pub where one of the other barmen was openly Gay. He and his mates , all Gay, used to love Rainbow, (Zippy and Bungle in particular ), never thought of it till I saw this rubbish which reminded me of it. Possibly there was something about Rainbow that appealed to the gay community.

Didn't an American pastor see the same subtle message in Telly Tubbies?
Could the left-leaning, pro gay, Mafia really be plotting to undermine the very building blocks of our society?

My husband always insists there was a character called Roger the Cabin Boy on Captain Pugwash!

[Bathsheba]

Yes there was a Rodger the Cabin boy. But the word 'Rodger' had no other meaning back then. Remember this was the early 1960s.
