Oh well, that's what you get in this stupid world.

[Trumpet Thief]

chaos: Well I still love him! :aimmad:

Rubedo: And that's one of the funniest things I have ever read :D

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Church ruins us all.

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

Being gay causes cancer.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

My God... that's just...

I won't say a thing.

[Mindflare]

I loathe Spongebob, but this is ridiculous. People will believe the most silly things if they really want to, I guess.

[Super Christ]

I seem to recall hearing all this BS before.

Oh yeah, now I remember. They're taking offense at a message of tolerance again. I recall reading in history about them taking offense at the idea of tolerating people who are black.

[TheAbominatrix]

Church ruins us all.

No, closed-minded ignorant jerks hiding behind a banner of Christianity is what ruins us all.

[Lionx]

OMFG THIS IS HILLARIOUS!! XDDDD

Unfortunetly this happens all to often with people like that...i wonder if they will ban pies someday because its too "fruity" =/

[Rusty]

No, closed-minded ignorant jerks hiding behind a banner of Christianity is what ruins us all.

I agree with that.

[Rye]

And my parents wonder why I can't stand church and religion.

This has really made me angry. Spongebob is a freaking kids show. If Spongebob was dating Sandy, they'd say it promoted sex or something.

I love Spongebob. :mad2:

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

Okay, let me make this clear. The Church, any church, and religion, any religion, have nothing to do with this. To say that you don't like religion because of something like this is rediculous. This isn't a specific church or anything that's making these allagations. This is one guy and/or group saying those things in the name of the Church. I seriously doubt the Church has anything to do with this. So don't be dumb and go around saying dumb things. Dummy.

[TheAbominatrix]

'Christian' associations are the perfect front for Neo-Nazi groups and such... because far more people will read and respect what they have to say if they're going by a group like 'Christian Family Association' than 'I hate Jews omg'. I'm of course not saying that Christians are Neo-Nazis, but it's something to think about.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Jesus doesnt preach intolerance of any sort, any laws against homosexuality were before His time and irrelivant. And I dont think it's fair to blame this on Christians regardless, it'd be like me blaming everything on those 'damned godless aethists'.

[Pure Strife]

SpongeBob, who lives in a pineapple under the sea, was "outed" by the U.S. media in 2002 after reports that the TV show and its merchandise was popular with gays. His creator, Stephen Hillenburg, said at the time that although SpongeBob was an oddball, he thought of all the characters as asexual.

Silly silly people.

Yes. :D

That report is freaking hilarious. I do remember a couble years ago some news show talking about Spongebob being gay or not though.

[Little Miss Awesome]

I think this is shocking! I am a Christian and I think all people should be treat equally, we can't treat gay people differently! They have the same rights as any straight person, they should be treat with the same amount of respect too.
I believe strongly in the "treat people the way you want to be treat" saying, and just because I was a lesbian I wouldn't want to be treat diffrerently, I would still be human and normal, I would just have an interest in the same sex as myself. I don't think people should be dicriminated against just because of their sexuality, they didn't choose to be the way they were, thats just how they turned out!
(Sorry for the long post!)

[MecaKane]

I saw this on The Today Show when I woke up!
Apparently, it's all a missunderstanding.
The people who made that video "American Family Association" are being confused with some group that is only known as "American Family" and is a gay lesbian etc etc support site, or whatever. So they made a mistake by going to American Family's site, and saw all the gay stuff and <img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif> their pants and here we go! One group that made the assumption, admitted they were wrong, the other either doesn't know or won't admit it.
And Kane saves the day!

[Super Christ]

It's still ridiculous what the group said. Regardless of whether they were mistaken about who they were talking about, they still said, to use pretty damn close to their own wording, that it is morally wrong to tolerate people who are gay. This is the kind of backwards thinking one typically attributes to those in the 60's who were pushing segregation. I can think of at least one group who said it's morally wrong to tolerate people who are black.

[Mr. Graves]

Some media people making the claim that Sam and Frodo were gay was understandable as I could see how one could come to that conclusion, but this is just dumb.

People wonder why athiesm is a bad thing. You're not lumped in with groups like neo-cons by default.

[boris no no]

i just can't understand how people could have thought that spongebob was gay!! i mean how????
unless all gay people absorb water....and live in pineapples...and have square trousers.... :confused: :confused: my gay friends certainly bear no resemblance to spongebob
its silly some peoples view on gay people...they're only humans too why should they be thought of as any different?
its a little like the stupid thing about peudophiles that happened in britain...the press said that just about every celebraty was one! poor old matthew kelly...he'll never get his job back

Amen, Abominatrix. :)

I don't believe Spongebob is gay. Just because he's childlike doesn't mean he's gay. Why do people have to scare people away from a character due to their overactive imaginations? It's not fair. I love Spongebob. I'm not running away. He makes me laugh.

[Fuzakeru]

I remember reading about this when my dad printed out a news letter about it. =/ It pissed me off because during that time I was hardcore in to SpongeBob. I owned a thousand shirts and folders and pencils and other accessories. ^_^;
In that letter I remember they thought he was gay because the gay community used him as their new symbol or whatever. ( I think the homosexual community has better tastes than to use a sponge to depict their sexual preference. O-o; Besides, sponges are asexual not homosexual, right? >_> )
They said he was gay himself because he lived in a 'fruit'!! He was girly acting and very wimpy. He had a female friend who was clearly a lesbian because she was strong and manly. Then Spongebob had a PINK STAR as his best friend. O-o;;; They even said that Mr. Crabs was an inside joke about homosexual diseases. When I read that I nearly crapped my pants, I laughed so hard.

Still, it's sad for people to seriously try to find more than what is there just to find something to rant about.

SpongeBob . . . Fight the power!! :)

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I loathe Spongebob,

Agreed, let's get the show off the air!!!! (I am joking) I can't stand SpongeBob, who can people watch the show?

Edit: Why should they complain about him being homosexual? Come on people, this is the 20th century, not the Middle Ages, are they going to editted like SM and then he will have a "cousin". It's annoying how much they think is "bad" for us.

[Faris]

That was stupid! :mad2: I didn't even bother reading the whole thing

I loathe Spongebob, but this is ridiculous. People will believe the most silly things if they really want to, I guess.
Same here.

I too don't like Sponge Bob, but that's no reason to take it off the air or even complain about the character being homosexual (I highly doubt that it's true). These people are just homophobic (sp?), and they just have nothing better to say. It's just like when they complained that Loony Toons and Bugs bunny were too violent.

[DMKA]

i just can't understand how people could have thought that spongebob was gay!! i mean how????
I guess cause he lives in a fruit.

[Martyr]

Um... Wasn't that purple teletubby gay too? And wasn't it a radical exclamation when we found out that EJ was gay? ANd, well, isn't it funny how all sorts of pop figures are turning out to have less than common sexual preferences these days?

I think that nearly every homosexual is part of an advertising scam. I simply and ignorantly plan to deny that homosexuality even really exists. Or, more specifically, I plan to deny that it exists in a character that has no sexual tendencies, organs, or ideas from any relevant thought process outside of a sheet of paper or a computer.

That's all I have to say.

[fire_of_avalon]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

GAYBOB :exdee: :exdee: :exdee:

foa does not promote use of this term to describe Spongebob. She just feels the entire situation is hilarious and no one should take it seriously.

[Tyckun]

Preposterous! Spongebob is everyone's etum! He's surely not gay, or we'd see thousands of kids running around screaming "I'm free!"

[Rainecloud]

I never liked the show anyway.

Good for the Church.

[Destai]

I think the church is becoming more and more tolerant. I guess with how unpopular christianity s becoming they have to be pretty flexible. I'm an Irish christian myself and my church is the perfect example. We have to main priests and one is pretty old ,snobby and extremely depressing to listen to, taking the chance to mention how screwed we are when the day of judgement comes upon us etc.<img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg 009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg 009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg 009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg 009.gif>era, etc.<img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg 009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg 009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg 009.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg 009.gif>era...

The other priest is much younger and much nicer to listen to, extremely positive and see's the good side of most things. This guy took the time to go through the lack of sympathy given by the church to broken marriages. As it is know christianity is dieing but I honestly dont think it'll be long until the law of priests being unable to marry will be lifted. Im pretty confident the amount of priests will then rise quite suddenly.

[Rye]

He lives in a fruit, sure. But his neighbor Squidward lives in some Tiki head. Sandy lives in some tree dome and Patrick lives under a rock. They all live in weird places. Maybe they show would be gay if Patrick was a pink triangle instead of a pink STAR. But he's a starfish, so it's not.

[Carnage]

That show has to much to do with sex in my opinion

The sponge-80's sexual referance
Krusty crabs
Bikini.............. bottom

[SomethingBig]

Kinda reminds me of that one men's underwear commercial that showed a guy wearing just underwear while dancing around in front of a mirror, shaking his butt. I'm surprised no pseudo-Christian whined about that.

[magus19]

My god, wat in the name of everything that is holy is going on.
These people hav nothing better to do then finding homosexual characteristics in CARTOON CHARACTERS.



Damn Conservatives, with their.... God and........... hair

[Dking'squeen]

I could have told anyone that
Him and the pink thing that's on his thingie-ma-bob all the time

[Seifer]

Wait...what about the other 100 characters?

[Lionx]

Well if you put it this way then Scooby Doo promotes beastality.

[TheAbominatrix]

This Scooby Doo character must be stopped at ALL COSTS!

[Silmaril]

As much as I dislike Spongebob I don't think the should mix sex up with programs for little kids.

[DMKA]

Yeah...and Barney is in it too? PREPOSTEROUS! We all know why Barney really liked hanging around all those little kids all the time.

[Ryth]

Churches haven't done something this dumb since they banned Seasame Street because Bert and Ernie slept in the same bed. Geez this is stupid IT'S JUST A DAMNED KID'S SHOW!!! So Spongebob seems a little weird I don't care he is gay but the definition of gay is happy. So he seems happy and gleeful and BAM he's gay?! And 6the Bert and Ernie thing is even dumber maybe they're poor and they're just muppets!! Also there is proof he isn't gay! In one episode he went on a date with Mr. Krabs' DAUGHTER Pearl yes his f-ing DAUGHTER not SON can you hear me church? DAUGHTER so drop this BS and get on with your lifes! This is so stupid its almost funny...

[Lionx]

Lol Bert and Ernie reminds me of Family guy where its a run down nieghborhood and Bert was being all mean to Ernie nekkid in the same bed O.o

Ernie: You are scaring me Bert...Bert! *hides*

xDD

[TheAbominatrix]

"Come back to bed, Bert!"

Ya know, it's almost amusing how homophobic these people are. Can you imagine them sitting and watching Sesame Street (which, in my opinion, is the best children's show ever made) with their kids... and all they can think of when two puppets share a bed is "SEX, SEX! THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE GAY SEX SOMEONE STOP THEM!" For the love of God, who <i>thinks</i> about these things?

[DMKA]

For the love of God, who <i>thinks</i> about these things?
I think it's best not to ask.

[Sweet Beloved]

I don't believe Spongebob is gay. DUDE!!! He's a fricken cartoon character who is JUST to entertain kids! Not to teach them to be gay. My sister even watches it. She's 9

[Raspberry Soda]

I believe the phrase is "PC gone mad"

[Giga Guess]

Completely asinine....that's all I have to say about it.

[Imperia]

Damn Conservatives, with their.... God and........... hair

Liberals have their ugly sides too, and what about conservatives' hair? What does that have to do with this?

BTW, God is good. He's not mean.

[Dking'squeen]

Barney, Teletubbies=kid shows=gay

that's all i''ll say about them...oh and Sesame Street...i'll leave it there

[Giga Guess]

Truthfully, GOD has nothing to do with this, save that the airheads dreaming these things up trot him out to further their cause...

[Crazy the Clown]

Just a bunch of bigots who want to ruin everything for everyone else. Screw 'em.
