What's in the news this passing week?

Top news from Poland for this passing week.

Telletubbies
You might have already heard about Tinky-Winky being accused of promoting homosexuality by Polish children rights watchdog mrs. Sowińska. When I checked on google news yesterday there were over 300 articles from English language news outlets on the web. Amongst them Washington Post, Euronews, Daily Mail, New York Times, The Guardian, BBC, USA Today. CNN seems to have ignored the issue. Poles will be eternally gratefull to CNN for this omission ;-)

Prime minister and his bank account (or lack thereof)
That's right. Prime minister of a 40 million large nation in the heart of Europe does not have a bank account of his own. However he doesn't need that much money anyway - he lives with his mother, so she probably cooks for him. He doesn't spend much on fuel - BOR takes him to work and back home and when he needs to get somewhere further, he gets a ride on the fastest flying passenger airplane in the world TU-154M (at least since Concorde is grounded). I will not link to all those nasty newspapers that reported this magnificent piece of news, you can have a look at this instead.

A strange way to promote Polish culture
Pupils in Polish high schools will probably be freed from the burden of reading potentially subversive novels by such famous writers of Polish origin as Gombrowicz, Witkacy, Joseph Conrad. They will leave school libraries in first class company - Goethe, Kafka, Dostoevsky have also been assessed as unnecessary.
