Conservatives Pick Soft Target: A Cartoon Sponge

Conservatives Pick Soft Target: A Cartoon Sponge



This is the goofiest thing since the great Tinky-Winky controversy of 1998:

"'Does anybody here know SpongeBob?' Dr. James C. Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, asked the guests Tuesday night at a black-tie dinner for members of Congress and political allies to celebrate the election results.

SpongeBob needed no introduction. In addition to his popularity among children, who watch his cartoon show, he has become a well-known camp figure among adult gay men, perhaps because he holds hands with his animated sidekick Patrick and likes to watch the imaginary television show 'The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.'

Now, Dr. Dobson said, SpongeBob's creators had enlisted him in a 'pro-homosexual video.'"


Insert your own Bikini Bottom punchline. And check out the whole article for the Nile Rogers of Chic connection.
