I watch very little television, though when my favorite show is spotted, a hush settles upon the room as I enter a very special world, there to spend it with...SpongeBob SquarePants, the most fun and entertaining cartoon character who ever lived underwater in a pineapple.
Thus, I was awash with froth to learn that James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, wants a cartoon music video which features SpungeBob, to be barred in thousands of schools that it was to have been sent to in March. The makers -- the nonprofit We Are Family Foundation -- say the video is designed to encourage tolerance and diversity.
Dobson believes that SpongeBob is gay and that the tolerance implied is towards the gay community, something that strikes fear and loathing in the hearts of certain conservative Christian leaders who believe that they now drive the Administration. Sponges can't be gay or straight, especially cartoon sponges, though this is lost on those with a tight, narrow, constricted agenda. Most sponges are hermaphrodies, that is, they produce both male and female sex cells.
Makes for an interesting day shopping at the Mall.

Let's sponge up this mess before the Pentagon comes up with a plan to destroy all sponges on the Planet.
