Found Questioning #3


The premise.  This Found Questioning comes courtesy of Vice Magazine.



The Teletubbies are characters from a British children's television series that began running in 1997 and still runs to this day.  What many people do not realize about these iconic television characters have undergone a series of changes over the years.  In fact it could be reasonably said that the Teletubbies are a lot like Menudo.


Menudo was a Puerto Rican boy band whose members include Ricky Martin and Draco Rosa.  There have been thirty-nine members of this five members boy band due to the requirement that the members of the band leave the group when they turned sixteen.  This requirement lead to a lot of internal conflict, as well as power struggles and different members of the group aged.  The process of replacing members of the Teletubbies was significantly less delicate.


The four Teletubby characters are members of an alien species from the planet Teletubby Land.  The four colours of the Teletubby characters represent the four different majority races on the planet they come from.  This gives the producers of the Teletubbies TV show a wide selection of replacements to choose from.  Rather than age, producers replace characters on the Teletubbies show based on salary.  Once time comes for a Teletubby to receive a higher salary, that Teletubby is quietly done away with.  Due to the Teletubbies being space aliens and the lack of legal status given to creatures from other planets, this quiet process can be quite loud.


When a former character on the Teletubbies has fulfilled it's usefulness, that character is fed into a woodchipper.  This woodchipper is located at The London Studios of the BBC.  Despite being located at a major television studio, no footage is allowed to be shot of Telletubies being fed into a woodchipper.  Occasionally cellphone footage does leak, but those videos are quickly taken down, either by way of a copyright claim or a direct threat to the uploader.


After the woodchipping process, the material that once constituted the former Teletubby is collected and pulverized once again.  Once that process is done, the new soup-like material is process and turned into a wide variety of products, including various flavors of Fanta.  Yes, Fanta Strawberry is made out of Teletubbies.


That is why many soft drinks taste like Teletubby blood.  They are in fact made from Teletubby blood.
