I agree with you. I just know I'm gonna piss more than a few people off by telling them how silly they seem. This whole "Sponge Bob is gay" business strikes me as something the product of someone with way too much time on their hands.

Come on people, it's a damn cartoon, get a life!

I hope you're right. I think because Nickelodeon has aired pro-homosexual junk before people are up in arms. I would'nt trust Nickelodeon with my children-cartoon or not. They do seem to have an agenda, but most kids hopefully won't read anything into this stunt.

There were two bits of foolishness here.

First of all, the video itself has nothing to do with pushing the gay agenda. Dobson objects to the teacher's guide which accompanies the video, on rather ridiculous grounds that it promotes homosexuality. If you read what's stated there, you have to make a very liberal interpretation of the guide to read that into it. He also confused the group making the video with a homosexual group with a very similar name, which probably sparked the outrage in the first place. He's responsible for the first bit of foolishness, making a scene about nothing.

The second bit of foolishness was the big media painting it like Dobson was directly calling SpongeBob gay, like the Tinky Winky controversy several years back. That's a willful misstatement of Dobson's words, clearly intended to make him look like an idiot. And it of course launched a million mean-spirited jokes and satires poking fun at Dobson for "outing" SpongeBob.

"Pissed"? Naah...

I just feel sorry for your two overworked brain cells operating at full blast.

Gee, must be a big decision -- "Do I watch a rerun episode of 'Cat-Dog, ' OR do I post this gem at FR."

I don't think "Spong Bob is gay."

And, I'm all for free speech.

I'm sure you are, too.


Jesus said: "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore, they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." -from THE BIBLE: Matthew 19:4-6
