<description>&lt;p&gt;THIS is ABSOLUTE BULL!!!! What are the stupid divs trying to do now. They can Tell everyone that the World was made by one guy and we are all sacred and gifts from God but they JUST CAN&apos;T leave one little cartoon alone without preaching their stupid homophobic views! This is TRULY pathetic. What&apos;s next?! The tweenies arnt preaching the ways of god. Pfft!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;My personal favorite part of the Times article was the quote from the spongebob defending lawyer.  Rather than giving some legalistic answer, his only response was the the Dobson crowd clearly &quot;needed medication&quot;.  Because that&apos;s clearly the only response that I could come up with as well.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Hmm.

Spongebob is a sea sponge. Scientifically, sea sponges are hermaphroditic organisms, and produce both sperm and egg. Sponges also reproduce asexually by forming buds, which isn&apos;t really gay at all.

Since there&apos;s no such thing as a male or female sea sponge, Spongebob doesn&apos;t really have a choice being gay or straight--so it&apos;s unfair to label him as either.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;One of the partners is the Anti-Defamation League, which was started to combat anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry. Anyone else think it&apos;s weird that this conservative Christian group is going after a group founded to protect Jews, among others, from persecution?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;(sigh)
You&apos;d think these people would learn from Jerry Falwell taking on &quot;Tinky Winky&quot; from the Teletubbies...

Myself, I can&apos;t stand Spongebob, but that due to aesthetic reasons.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I find Spongebob Squarepants both fascinating and annoying.  Maybe even a little bit scary.  But I never thought of the gay angle.  I am just so naive.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;To tell you the truth, it was only a matter of time before they tagged Spongebob for being part of the gay agenda&apos;s movement for turning kids.

Thank you Right Wing for making a big deal out of nothing and wasting our time.

Remember Bert and Ernie?? Hell! They slept in the same bed and I didnt hear much of a fuss about them.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
