I was going to target this one in the just plain weird category, but then actually we've been here before:
James Dobson of the conservative group Focus on the Family said this week that the makers of the [SpongeBob] video planned to mail it to schools to promote a "tolerance pledge" that includes sexual identity.
When you remember the brief furore created when, I believe it was, Jerry Falwell said Teletubbies encouraged homosexuality because Tinky Winky was obviously openly gay, what with being purple and carrying a purse; I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone hit SpongeBob. And I must admit I've always been just a little suspicious of Patrick what with him being pink! And a starfish!! Um, not that starfish have anything necessarily to do with homosexuality, but I mean, come on, if gay people were going to be fish don't you think they'd be starfish?!
So I'm glad someone has finally taken the time to put the seething cesspool of moral decay which is SpongeBob Squarepants into the trash bin where it belongs. Oh, unless, of course, it all turns out to be a case of mistaken identity, as the article suggests. Then that angry mob of family values people might feel just a touch embarrassed as they stand beside the lynched bodies. Faux pas!!
