US Parent groups mad over Spongebob..

Crazy:

Quote:
Focus on the Family and other groups say the video - a remake of the Sister Sledge hit, We Are Family - is a vehicle for pro-gay propaganda.
Quote:
But James Dobson, founder of right-wing Christian group Focus on the Family, singled out SpongeBob at a black-tie dinner in Washington in the run-up to President Bush's inauguration, the New York Times said.
Quote:
SpongeBob - who appears on the children's cable channel Nickelodeon - is seen as an icon for adult gay men in the US, apparently because he regularly holds hands with his sidekick Patrick.
Quote:
We see the video as an insidious means by which the organisation is manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids

As a momma of four kiddies I have no problems with them seeing Sponge Bob.

So people are getting all funny about him being a gay icon? Where are the family groups all upset over the fact that he is a walking, talking sea-sponge?

Exactly! And nobody has anything to say about seven inch-impaired males living together in Snow-White?

I think these people should find a hobby. And stop "outing" cartoon characters.

These people should all go live on a remote island together. What a bunch of morons.

Why is he carrying that phallic-looking stick around? He must be a closet potato!

Seriously, since when does holding hands make you gay?

These parents should really get a life.

When I was 7, I actually watched a Smurfs episode that temporarily turned me gay for a month. Man, were my parents pissed off! They threatened to disown me after they caught me playing with Barbie Dolls.

After some psychiatric treatment, I was turned straight again and have happily remained that way for the last 19 years.

These gay cartoon characters need to be banned! They're going to turn all of America's youth into little gay sinners!

Oh good grief, thanks for a good laugh

I do think the fact that kids might think a sponge can walk and talk is more alarming...

Have any of those kids actually turned gay, or been homosexually influenced by it in any way? Kids that age have very limited knowledge on sexuality to begin with.

It should be banned because it's crap, not because of gay sponge claims.
