Spongebob is Gay and Other Oddities

Published on January 26, 2005 By Gideon MacLeish In Current Events

Ok, Ok, I give in....Spongebob may be gay.

After reading the 5,943,625th article about Spongebob's queeritude, the Marvin Cooleys of the world have won me over. I am campaigning against cartoons in general. Many of the points I will be addressing in my symposium will be:

Bugs Bunny's promotion of transvestitism.
Anthropomorphic undertones in many cartoons that may promote evolution.
Shaggy's "extremely close" relationship with Scooby, suggesting bestiality.
Discrimination against fat, overbearing brutes in "Popeye"
Promotion of anorexia in women (Olive Oyl) in same.
Unnatural dog/cat comingling in "Ren and Stimpy".

These are but a few of the things I will be addressing, upon superficial examination of atrocities in modern cartoons. It is time the cartoon producers of this world are held responsible for their immoral, abhorrent mindset before their studios are sucked into a giant vaccuum of nothingness and the perpetrators are flogged in the abyss for all eternity! We MUST save humanity from itself!

Or we can sit back and realize they're just CARTOONS! Do the words "willing suspension of disbelief" mean NOTHING to us?

Signing off,

Gideon MacLeish

Gideon, very refreshing and amusing. Absolutely feels good to laugh at it all.

"...realize they're just CARTOONS!"

Oh the Humanity of it all - if we could only just go back to the simple things in life again; wake up, laugh, they're only cartoons!!

Gid, i agree with you...

Spongebob and Patrick? They have some "lifepartner" traits.

Scooby and Shaggy promote marijuana use, they giggle all the time,and are always hungry.

The real discrimination in Popeye on the issue of weight is Wimpy. Plus the sissification of him is definately anti-man.

Olive oyl was a fat pig and got hooked on diet pills, a drug reference

Bugs is a transvstite. And elmer likes trannies!

Sign me up, i'm in too

And I always thought Velma was hot for Daphne.

The overt condoning of rape in the Pepe Le Pew cartoons (I stole this one from Dave Chappelle).

It's got to stop!

The overt condoning of rape in the Pepe Le Pew cartoons

I couldn't help but laugh at this one. I remembered watching Pepe Le Pew as a child. I always thought it was funny because here's this skunk who's madly in love with the female cat and running after her, making a fool of himself etc. My older kids watch it today, and that's what they get from it too, laughter.

Only t grown ups (and as a grown up I do) see how unfunny it is. The point is, kids are not looking at that, they see something amusingly funny and it makes them laugh. If I were to watch it right now, I would be laughing still. Is there anything wrong with that? I say no. What the heck, I'm gonna sit down and analyze everything? That's not the reason why I enjoy cartoons and animations.

Sorry Gideon if I rambled.

Who, if anyone, said Spongebob was gay? I'm still unclear as to how anyone thought that was the issue. The only people I saw saying that in the media were Liberal comedians and the ones trying to smear those with true concerns.

The annoyance was the idea that un-related cartoon caracters were going to be used for pro-acceptance activism. The teachers materials that were to go out with the 61,000 DVDs has now been made unavailable, so they are probably taking out anything that will offend.

Sooo... what were we really talking about again?

Sheesh baker...Leave it to you to take the laughs out of a joke.

Sorry, I just don't see why "The Marvin Cooleys of the world" are getting the blame for something the pro-gay Libs are saying.

I think gid is trying to make a statement that this whole thing is just silly.

Correct me if i'm wrong here

Baker,

Several bloggers, among them our resident homophobe (and yes, he qualifies, he has written several virulent articles in that direction) Captain Cornbread.

But yeah, the article was for laughs, mainly.

As a religious person I am worried my Jewish and Muslim brethren may be offended by Porky Pig.
Surely this is forced defilement of the worst order. Muslim children may be required to destroy their televisions after the desecration

I call on an immediate ban to anything Porky or Petunia related. Don't even get me started on that soft-porn Bob Clark film, either.

Gene,

Rally 'round the flag, my friend, rally round the flag.

*laugh*

I think Baker has a secret crush on Spongebob.

And laugh, I did, Gideon, as well as suspending disbelief while reading some of the comments. "Pro-gay libs"? Baker's been watching to much Bill O'Reilly, I believe.

grr...

I was jsut making the point that for once it wasn't religious conservatives that started it. The whole "Spongebob is gay" thing started months and months before the "We are Family" thing in the gay and lesbian community themselves.

I just wish people who talk about pervs projecting such stuff on cartoons would pick the right pervs this time...
