"Conservatives Pick Soft Target: A Cartoon Sponge"
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 - On the heels of electoral victories barring same-sex marriage, some influential conservative Christian groups are turning their attention to a new target: the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants.

"Does anybody here know SpongeBob?" Dr. James C. Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, asked the guests Tuesday night at a black-tie dinner for members of Congress and political allies to celebrate the election results.

SpongeBob needed no introduction. In addition to his popularity among children, who watch his cartoon show, he has become a well-known camp figure among adult gay men, perhaps because he holds hands with his animated sidekick Patrick and likes to watch the imaginary television show "The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy."

Now, Dr. Dobson said, SpongeBob's creators had enlisted him in a "pro-homosexual video," in which he appeared alongside children's television colleagues like Barney and Jimmy Neutron, among many others. The makers of the video, he said, planned to mail it to thousands of elementary schools to promote a "tolerance pledge" that includes tolerance for differences of "sexual identity..."

I paid 10 bucks to see SpongeBob give it to Tinky Winky!

Yeah, but it ain't balls.

okay, i just went out to start my car and the battery...she is dead.

Hi ayah! You don't want to go outside anyway. It's too cold.

give it a couple of days... I'm sure you guys will be nearing balmy 60s soon. God love the greenhouse effect!

hey stacey.
last night i was doing my finances and i realized:
I OWE YOU MONEY, GIRL!
of course you've been too polite to ask for it. damn.
i am sorry about that. i may have to throw in a little interest.
can you e-mail your address to me? or you could post it here and be showered with gifts and flowers or a visit from hegel.

bahaha D'ya think I'd really get stuff? 'cause that'd be awesome.

Don't worry about, girl. Just throw me an email when you get a chance and tell me how you've been. Then I'll reply with a long, nonsensical one about myself.

Ahh, this is true.

(I've been meaning to throw you a hello as well, Dana; hope all is well)

i will track down your addy and get it to you.
OR
one day...you can come to me with an offer...an offer i will not be able to refuse....

yeah, well mike jones is more of an offensive threat anyways....

trying to convince myself that this is no big deal

Baby, I'm a triple threat.

And as for you Ish----i didnt call you gay; I just mused about your canadian fey-ness; and your love of buxom franco-hotties.

what's a mac?

You know, I was about to tell you to turn on your headlights before you start the car next time, but apparently, it's a myth.

I was about to email you, but now I may have to do a little thinkin' here...

HEY. I don't even know you! haha. you bastard!

and trust me. I'd do more than "visit". HOLLAAAH.
