I'm sure you have all heard the absurdities coming from the right-wing "moral majority" recently regarding SpongeBob SquarePants and the fact that he, and other righteous cartoon characters like Jimmy Nutron, is promoting the idea that a homosexual lifestyle is...gulp...God forbid...acceptable. I'm not going to spend much time on this but I just had to profess my love, openly and especially to you my readers, for Mr. SquarePants. He makes me laugh, he makes me do very silly things trying to impersonate him, he just wants to eat Crabby Patties and hang out with Patrick. He taught me how to "take it around town."
Read this commentary if you would like a simple, yet insightful commentary on the subject at hand.
I really do think that we are all more alike than different, and that it is only when we let our differences divide us that we get into trouble. Why can't it be OK that you are different than I, and that we leave each other be, or better yet, celebrate and embrace our differences? "Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be"
Viva Le SpongeBob! I love him!!
If he keeps on eating Crabby Patties though, he'll turn into Spongecake Stretchpants (i stole that joke, but it was relevant).
Thank you so much for your comment over on Daxohol. It really means alot to me ;-D thank you so much *blog hugs*

I'm 100% with you on this one. I adore Spongebob. It's one of the few cartoons out there that is truly geared toward children that I can watch...nay, LOVE to watch with Sydney. Like the other absurdity that has come up through Sydney's short TV watching career (the gay purple Teletubby scandal) I neither believe it to be true nor care one little bit if it is.
But then, I'm the evil mother that let her daughter watch Seabiscuit the other night without checking the rating first and subjected her to a single utterance of the sh*t word. Bad Mommy!!

Remember a few years ago when Tinky Winky was outed? The wingnuts are crazy. What a narrow definition of humanity!
