Spongebob Update and Extended Commentary
February 19th, 2005 by SteveAll I can say is wow. This is brilliant, quite frankly, and hilarious.
Ok, but enough of the kicks and giggles. Let’s talk about what’s really going on. As Dobson and his group have screeched since their accusation was made, he never called Spongebob gay. And that’s true. He didn’t. I’ve never accused him of doing such, and the people writing the satires haven’t accused him of that either. What Dobson (and the nutjobs who follow him) did was claim that Spongebob was being used by the Homosexual Agenda [sic] to promote their message; specifically, he and the other cartoon characters were being used by We Are Family (hereafter referred to by WAF). WAF’s video, it should be noted, never actually mentioned their website, so how Dobson & Co. connects Spongebob to this whole mess I really don’t understand (but Michael Moore’s an insane conspiracy theorist for suggesting Bush’s old TANG buddy, who received bin Laden funds, gave said money to the Shrub for his business disasters. Hell, that’s less insane than this. Ok, back to the topic.). However, if you were to go to WAF’s site, and you did some prolific searching, you would eventually find a link to http://www.tolerance.org and that site’s Tolerance Pledge (something I have signed, by the way), which includes a one line reference to sexual orientation. Tolerance.org is run by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is certainly not a left-wing group (trust me, I disagree with plenty of their articles), though they often are liberal in some of their approaches. Somehow, WAF are now part of the Homosexual Agenda [again, sic].
So what’s this really about? … Well, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow. Cause I gotta catch some sleep-eye. I’m tired and sick. Suspense!
