Teletubbies, the popular children’s characters, are re-contextualized in this work as the hippie cult known as the "Manson Family". This forces the viewer to consider the idea of TV babies, young peoples manifestation of popular culture as reality, the Manson Family’s realization of Hollywood movie fantasy and the teletubbies internalization of the television.
