The need something to hate and fear .....Now Sponge Bob
Make believe cartoon figures with no sex organs are spreading a pro gay
lifestyle .................. Too stupid for words.

1. A few years ago it was Tinky-Winky of the Teletubbies.
Right-wing fundies see threats in cartoon characters. Sad.

And yet real threats to the poor, impoverished and afflicted of the world zip right on by them unnoticed. Jesus wept.

2. they fear
their own closet homosexuality.

As with any fear, its root is at the heart of that person who exhibits fear, as opposed to what they project that fear onto.

4. You got it ......
As a straight man I think a lot of the right wingers are self loathing gays both in and out of the closet.

Besides if you can be made gay by seeing a cartoon you might be gay in the first place.

3. I have always suspected Patrick has a gay agenda
I am also convinced that Mrs Puff is a female impersonator cleverly disguised as a neurotic driving instructor....

And don't get me going on Sandy the squirrel!

34. She better lay off wearing that revealing bikini, too.
And one of those weightlifting competitions is where SpongeBob SPLIT HIS PANTS, too! And then he walked around splitting his pants EVERYWHERE! Need I say more? :wow:

9. Squidward is SO Gay
Modern dance and leg warmers??? Feng shui-decorated Easter Island statue home? General fussiness???????

And his hair-trigger irritability is textbook closet case.

But seriously, what is up with Mr. Crab's daughter Pearl? He's a CRAB. She's a SPERM WHALE. IS SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS ADVOCATING MISCEGENATION?????

12. I too have worried about the fact that Mr Crab...
must have "known" a sperm whale in the biblical sense.

The whole show is a bastion of offenses to God!

17. It's Disgusting
And there has been several cases of nudity and implied nudity, specifically when Spongebob went to live with the wild jellyfish. I've blocked Nickelodeon because of this, and I don't even have children!

24. I actually think the *implied nudity* in this show...
Is an even greater danger than the *nude-nudity*

They are compelling the public to try to envision what a sponge, or a starfish might look like (in the nude) by "veiling" the creatures bodies in risque undergarments (as in the case of Bob himself)

It's all very troubling!

6. No Way!
SpongeBob has a crush on Sandy! Didn't you see how he suffered just to visit Sandy in her air bubble?

Also, Spongebob is popular with everyone, not just gays.

That James Dobson guy is such a weirdo. He sees homosexuals everywhere he looks. They need to keep HIM away from the kids.

7. Dobson is a homophobic, bigoted zealot!
Targeting Spongebob?! Give me a break! I like Spongebob. That's just flat out offensive.

First, nothing in the video points to sexual identity. Can you imagine Spongebob in any type of relationship (gay or not?). ROTFLMAO!

Furthermore, the main idea was to teach kids to respect different types of families. Dobson doesn't want kids to be like that. He wants them to be homophobes who continue to target the gay kids and the kids of gay parents in schools. He wants hatred against kids and their families to prevail! That's sick, sick, sick!

Dobson is anti-family because he only respects the nuclear family. He wants intolerance to prevail against all the other forms of family.

10. can't... roll... eyes... far..enough... back!
OMFG! This goes along with the Children's Socialist Workshop (joke) - you know, where they teach kids the evil act of sharing and push the gay agenda (come on Bert and Ernie! You're not fooling anyone with this "roommate" thing....)

Can we please return to the real problems in the world?

23. Huge Bulging Crotch?
Don't you know that there is some fundie freak out there somewhere going through every single SBSP episode, frame by frame, looking for just that?

If they find it, watch for it on the 700 Club. It will be 'proof' of the subliminal gay messages they are trying to seduce our children with!

21. I KNEW Sandy Cheeks had to be a lesbian!
:evilgrin: This is ludicrous. These people believe because they're so morally bankrupt that everyone is like them and thus all provocative material should be banned.

29. I thought she was a transvestite. You know, from Transexual, Texas.
She let it slip while singing about her home.

28. Not sure what you mean...
...but there is Mr. Krabb's daughter.

(Just how in the hell a crab can have a whale offspring....nevermind...it's a cartoon...)

I like Spongebob. My favorite episode is Rock Bottom.

31. Favorite quote.
"... means by which the organization is manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids," he said. "It is a classic bait and switch."

Sounds like this spokesman is talking about Dobson's organization.
