Why Is Spongebob A Controversy Magnet?
« on: January 22, 2005, 10:19:53 pm »
Once again, SpongeBob is making waves in the news.  A Christian family group is accusing a video (that SpongeBob happens to be in) of displaying homosexual tolence.  Of course, milliseconds later, the media got hold of the story and started printing huge headlines like "SpongeBob in gay dispute" and "SpongeBob Anti-Gay Attack Brings Shock And Ridicule".

First, I'd like to present the facts.  The We Are Familiy Foundation used hundreds of popular cartoon characters from Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Disney, and others, in a short video about acceptance and tolerance.  A Christian group, the American Family Association, denounced the video, claiming it has overtones of acceptance of homosexuality.  I won't get into what I think of the AFA...

Second, I have a question.  Out of the 100+ cartoon characters involved in the making of the video, why is it that the press has singled out SpongeBob?  Do they have some sick infatuation with him?

Man They just tick me off. There's a link to an online arguement where an Extreme Hater describes the controversy, and he gets ticked off by millions of SB fans.

They need to explode those people who think SB is gay or a terrorist.

Lemme just say this...

you people who are getting worked over on this are really pathetic. I mean do you really think Spongebob is gay? I know I don't. And if you were a loyal fan to the show, you would say the same. This should be no big deal, really. Man you people need to get over this gay stuff :P

There is no such thing as peace and there never will be. Peace is a delusion believed by the weak. Gandhi said : "An eye of an eye would leave the whole world blind". So be it because only a blind world can experience the peace that it deserves. But there in lay the sick irony. Who will be able to see this peace? The human species is at war. The enemy walks among us nearly invisible. Only those with true discernment can see them. But only one with discernment and vision can show them to others

Now, now we don't need to point fingers at other people as a scapegoat.  Bush is not to blame for this.  It's our lifestyle, culture, and pushing the envelope which has caused drastic changes in our society today.

Someone just wants money... it's simple as that. Fame and money for being the ones to take spongebob off the air.

Why haven't they tried to get Ren and Stimpy off the air recently? Or this anime crap that promotes violence?

What are you all talking about?  Nobody is taking SpongeBob off the air, sueing them, or anything like that.

All that happened was that the AFA denounced a video that SpongeBob happens to be part of.  The press, rabid dogs that they are, decided to make headlines about SpongeBob being gay.

You're very smart. This is so stupid. Can anyone else come up with more reasons to hate Christians?
