According to this BBC News item, American conservative groups, including the utterly delightful Focus on the Family, are claiming that a new video featuring SpongeBob and other children's favorites is secretly promoting the Gay/Lesbian plan for world domination:
Focus on the Family and other groups say the video - a remake of the Sister Sledge hit, We Are Family - is a vehicle for pro-gay propaganda.
...
SpongeBob - who appears on the children's cable channel Nickelodeon - is seen as an icon for adult gay men in the US, apparently because he regularly holds hands with his sidekick Patrick.
...
"We see the video as an insidious means by which the organisation is manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids," Paul Batura, a spokesman for Focus on the Family, told the New York Times.
Holding hands, people. HOLDING HANDS!
What kind of godless fruitcakes engage in this disgusting behavior, much less encourage it in children?
Godspeed to the brave conservative activists holding the homosexual hordes at bay.
UPDATE: Apparently this news is about two weeks old. Guess I should get out more.
Between this and Jerry Falwell's fatwa on Tinky Winky, I sometimes think the Christian Right is a giant Candid Camera prank. Smile America!
