Full Version: Off the deep end
OK, now I know the "right" side of this country has gone completely off the deep end. A "Dr. James Dobson" of the aforementioned FOTF, stood up at one of the presidential inaugural events and solemnly intoned "Does anyone here know SpongeBob?"
I guess the rabid folk have targeted SpongeBob as the latest "gay" cartoon character "promoting homo-SEX-yew-alitee among our youth".
A video, entitled "We Are Family" stars SpongeBob and other cartoon characters. According to the video producers:
What is going on here????? It's Mr. Rodgers, fercryinoutloud!!!
First teletubbies (they are disturbing, but not for the reasons Falwell frothed about), now SpongeBob. Next thing you know, those righteous folk will be saying Bugs Bunny and Daffy are gay (after all, Bugs is a cross-dresser).

I'd just like to have an open discussion about this. Has this country gone insane?

Mr. Rodgers said he founded the We Are Family Foundation after the Sept. 11 attacks to create a music video to teach children about multiculturalism. The video has appeared on television networks, and nothing in it or its accompanying materials refers to sexual identity.
