  • Actually, 'Focus on the Family' claims Spongebob promotes a homesexual agenda. Sheesh.
  • But conservatives say it sees the video as a cunning attempt to promote homosexuality. HAHAHHHAHAHHAAH.... this is by far, the funniest sentence I've read this year. It must be really hard to be a right winger... how can you tell between a show and another? I mean, that guy at NYPD blue is always flashing everyone...do they think "well, his ass is flabby and this show isn't colorful...it must not be a cunning attempt at promoting a gay agenda"... ohhh hahahahahahha
  • Personally, I think Spongebob promotes a pro-drug agenda, because the show is WAY better when you're high.
  • And yet nobody blinks an eye at Velma Dinkins, nor at Marcie and Peppermint Patty's strange relationship... "Sir? May I have another, sir?" OMG HOTTTT1111!!!!1!111ONE!
  • It must be really hard to be a right winger Well, some days are worse than others.
  • And yet nobody blinks an eye at Velma Dinkins, nor at Marcie and Peppermint Patty's strange relationship... Now, now. Lesbians are hot. Gay men are evil. And lesbians don't have "real" sex anyway, and they aren't threatening to slide their luscious hands down the quailing trousers of very very very very very straight religion-mangling nutbars and so undo the very fabric of their worlds with their evil powers of seduction. So it's totally different. Are we clear? Good.
  • Pro-gay propaganda is for homos.
  • and they aren't threatening to slide their luscious hands down the quailing trousers of very very very very very straight religion-mangling nutbars It'd be really hot if they did, though. That'd take home Best Picture at the Stiffies, I can tell you.
  • Yeah, but they were right about Bert and Ernie. They make David Gest look straight.
  • Man, that homosexual agenda is an absolute piece of piss to promote! I'm watching TV right now, and there's two men having a conversation, they're within touching distance of each other, they seem happy and they haven't yet felt the need to ostentatiously have sex with a woman to prove their heterosexuality. And do you know, I think I just felt myself become a little bit gayer!
  • Whazzat? Sorry, I was distracted after my post by thoughts of Marcie getting spanked by PP, while Velma takes notes. Then Velma takes off her glasses ("I can't see a think, but I'll find my way by touch...and taste...") and joins in... I'll never watch Boomerang the same way again.
  • think s/b thing Give me a break, I was typing one-handed.
  • I don't know what's worse -- these sexually repressed conservatives or the doormat journalists who come running with the soapbox every time they clear their throat.
  • Conservatives claim Spongebob promotes a homesexual agenda A home sexual agenda? I'm all for that. What happens in your home is your business.
  • If lovin' a sponge is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
  • In an effort to combine this thread with the one just above I give you, transvestite squid.
  • Aw, cuddlefish...
  • I thought all cartoon characters were gay.
  • ...straight religion-mangling nutbars... I've found the sentence that gives me an automatic hard-on.
  • SpongeBob? Homosexual? Ridiculous! Everybody knows Squidward's the gay one.
  • "We see the video as an insidious means by which the organisation is manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids," Paul Batura, a spokesman for Focus on the Family, told the New York Times. Yeah, how dare they? Only groups like Focus on the Family should be allowed to manipulate and brainwash kids! Of course, these two look like they might just take the "loving thy neighbour" thing a bit too far!
  • "We see the video as an insidious means by which the organisation is manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids," Paul Batura, a spokesman for Focus on the Family, told the New York Times. I mean, sweet Christ, this quote is comedy fucking gold.
  • That's the problem with living on a diet of rhetoric; essential things like the ability to detect the irony of your own statements are diminished or lost.
  • Monkeyfilter: down the quailing trousers
  • If lovin' a sponge is wrong Lovin' you... is squeegee 'cause you're bootyful... do do do do doooo....
  • wolcott wins on this one.
  • OK this whole thing is silly. Still, I have to say the first time I saw Spongebob I thought, “hey Freddie Mercury has been reincarnated!” Think about it. Same skinny legs, buckteeth, goofy smile, over the top love of life and always running around in his underwear. I don’t know it SB likes inies or outies or both, but he’s OK with me.
  • Maybe they're onto something. Shortly after I saw Spongebob I also saw a broadway musical.... (cue Rod Serling)
  • kamus, don’t worry, I think the cut off line is when you start liking Barbra Streisand.
  • well, if my neighbor wasn't trying so desperately to run me over then I think I'd consider loving her more. Now, my across-the-street neighbor, I'd love him to bits.
  • Wow. That's just an amazing Valentine.
  • Why does anyone even listen to Focus on the Family? I thought it was well-understood they're a bunch of crackpots. Did BBC News not get the memo?
  • It was on one of the US morning talk shows ("Today", I think) this morning, too. I think it's only getting press precisely because it's so utterly bizarre and moronic. You want to know who's obsessed with "deviant" sex? James Dobson, that's who. I don't want my kids anywhere near that pervert.
  • Dobson is a fool.
  • Focus on the family is the same group that's funding Eharmony.com.
  • Bugs is gayer.
  • Will someone PLEASE get idiots out of public office? The inmates are running the asylum! (Hiki darlin': you are sooooo right about Squidward)
  • Well they're kind of picked from the asylum, aren't they? And the ones who want to be politicians, from padded-cell ward.
