Some people are in desperate need of a life. Some people have nothing better to do than look for demons behind every tree. Some people are so miserable in their own lives that they feel compelled to bring everyone down with them.
For example, US conservative groups are up in arms over a music video featuring children's TV heroes such as the cheerful cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants.
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, reports the BBC.
This is beyond bizarre. Especially since, the character Spongebob is about as good a model for decency and ethical behavior as you'll find on television. Things that the conservatives ritually decry a lack of.
I'm certainly a proponent of gay rights and I'm a big Spongebob fan as well. I've watched the show countless times and it never occurred to me for one instant that the show had anything to do with sexual orientation. It's just a nice show that promotes decency and ethical behavior in children. You'd have to have a pretty creative or perverted mind to see sexual innuendo in that program.
It just goes to show it's the parts of the conservative "Religious" Right, not the so-called liberal hedonists, who see sex in every nook and cranny of life.

I'm still getting over the fact that they kept calling Tinky Winky's magic bag a "purse" and saying that he was gay too. I mean, Teletubbies, is nothing sacred?
Tremendous new design by the way, a five star upgrade.
