I have trouble believing that reality is real any more... especially with lines like:
We see the video as an insidious means by which the organization is manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids," [Paul Batura, assistant to Dobson] said. "It is a classic bait and switch."
So, does that mean Patrick is the "bait", and SpongeBob is the "switch"?
I always thought Sponge Bob was a feminine hygene cartoon warning ladies of the dangers of forgeting to remove their sponge contraceptive device......just to show what will fester in your "bikini bottom" if you are not careful.
What she had a pineapple in there for is beyond me though.
I think I've been sniffing too much tattoo ink lately or something & these conclusions just come to me!
In fact, I'm not allowed to watch BooBahs with my 2 year old nephew anymore.....I made some comment about "uncircumsized" and "genital warts" in reference to their apperence & my brother took exception to it..........
Did these people leave their brains at the door? What they are basically saying is, they are so far anti-gay, that they are anti-tolerance now!? [never mind that the cartoons have got nothing to do with gay-ness at all.]
Ok, it's been said before, but the lunatics have taken over.
Oh, the Religious Reich have always been anti-tolerance. They just feel they have enough support from the White House now that they can say so openly. If you have gay friends, if you don't go to church every Sunday morning and evening without fail, if you don't look down on fags and queers and people who have unmarried sex and people who don't go to your church, especially Ay-rabs and Jews and Catholics, you're damned anyway. (And it's hard to tell which they think is worse, the Jews or the Catholics. "Them damn Ay-rabs at least have an excuse for being sinners.")
Does the reality that it is a cartoon for Very Young children have anything to do their reality? Sex is in no way even a part of their world yet for heaven's sake. Maybe they actually NEED the lessons SpongeBob is trying to teach. Dangerous things like kindness, good manners, learning,all that strange stuff.
I prefer the write up at the Beeb ... I love it for this line...
WAFF spokesman Mark Barondeso told the newspaper that anyone who thought the video promoted homosexuality "needs to visit their doctor and get their medication increased".
Oh cool! Sammy can wear her Spongebob shirt when we go see Jeff's parents this weekend. (No, I don't wanna. But apparently, I gotta. Hmmph. Then again, we have managed to put it off for nearly a month, so go us.:)
