Is spongebob gay?

Spongebob Squarepants, the little yellow guy who lives in a pineapple under the sea, is at the centre of a controversy again. This time, it is not the larger-than-life sized Spongebob inflatable balloons that have gone missing all across the USA, but it involves the intelligent, down-to-earth Dr James Dobson himself, founder of Focus on the Family.

The media reports have been really funny. Keith Olbermann was sarcastic and hilarious in his clip on Countdown. Before they showed the allerged "pro-homosexuality" video clip, he said, "Below is the whole thing, with the caveat that if the folks from Focus on the Family are right, it could make you, your children or maybe your furniture gay. Or tolerant."

Very funny, as there was not even a hint of sexual anything on the video. Olbermann said the same thing after the clip, but noted that Winnie the Pooh wasn't wearing any pants. This guy said that Christians are losing their credibility because they are C.R.A.C.K.P.O.T.S., creepy, rigid, arrogant, cruel, know-it-all, pompous, obnoxious and treacherous, and suggested that perhaps Christians need an instructional video on how to act "normal".

All of it as to be taken with a pinch of salt though. Dobson didn't say Spongebob was gay - he has nothing against Spongebob - but he did say that the agenda of the organisation (We are Family) that distrubutes the videos promotes homosexuality. His newsletter quotes the agenda of We are Family, and of course everything in the newsletter is rational and balanced, but who wants to read a list of excerpts of an agenda? They'll rather read about the yellow guy who lives in a pineapple under the sea who is oh-so-adorable, and listen to a really funny guy on tv bash up the folks who want to bash up Spongebob.
