Well, I was watching the news this morning and this thing came up about a lot of members of churches were protesting about Spongebob Squarepants. They say he "promotes homosexuality on a child's show". WTF? It's a show, people.
Do you think Spongebob has a reason to be taken off the air, because it may SEEM that he's a homosexual? I'm not prejudice against homosexuality or anything, but I doubt that the creator of Spongebob Squarepants intended for Patrick and Spongebob to have a sexual relationship.
Sorry if there is a topic on this, or if it should be in debate.
off air? he's not homosexual, is he?
That's my point. I mean, why in the world would they make a children's TV show character homosexual. I say he's just incredibly happy.
I don't think he's Homosexual. I guess his character just portrays what a prejudice person (or religion) would seem to be a gay man. Which is stupid, but of course the church is going to have supporters on this topic...well because they are Loyal Followers. Others will just find this ignorant. Giving the church more bad publicity than good.
that's so stupid!!! I dont watch spongebon, but I still think he's cool.
Who cares if he's gay...it's a T.V show
it may concern one show i remember where him and patrick adopted a baby clam and spongebob was the mom and patrick was the dad.......but who cares? it's a kid's television show!!!
if i see him kissing patrick then ill worry.. but i dont see any queerness in him...
The reason people say spongebob is gay is because the way he always hold patrick hand or another guy character hand all the time.
Until they say he not official gay, everyone have their opinions on him.
Spongebob's my boyfriend. He can't be gay there.
It's a cartoon on Nick. Most of the little kids that watch it probably don't even know what homosexuality is. And the kids that do know what it is probably wouldnt think Spongebob is anyways. I see no problem with Spongebob. He makes me laugh!
that is soo funny
the news is silly.
Spongebob is 18 ^^
But anyways.. hello? We have a whole history of messed up tv/cartoon characters. Why would Spongebob be any different?
Barney. Come on. A PURPLE dinosaur. Hangs out with little kids whom he 'loves'.
And SnowCaucasian and the Seven Handicapped Little People. (Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.) Those 'Little People' were pretty darn messed. And disordered.
There are several other examples.
Spongebob is just hyper.
HYPER, HYPER, HYPER.. that is all.
WAYLAN SMITHERS from the simpsons is soo gay
"smithers you turn me on"
while thats dumb, i wish they would because i loathe that show
WTF? spongebob is what makes everyone happy!
Yea I just heard about that today too. I don't think he is gay and if he is so what? There is nothing wrong with that, it's so stupid to take it off the air, especially when so many people love him. We should sign a petition to Nickalodeon to keep it on!
hmmm... nahhh. i dont think it should be taken off the air. The creator of the show probably never even thought about homosexuality between Spongebob and Patrick. Could you gimme like a link of it so i can see why the churches r protesting against it?
i really doubt that they'll take it off the air, because so many people watch spongebob!! he just acts funny that way, it's supposed to make people laugh, and it's really stupid that people consider this wrong
as you can tell, i love the show!
that would be awesome if he was gay...
Yeah, I just saw that on the news too. It's so stupid... I think more people would be upset if the show gets taken off air than if Spongebob's gay.
This reminds me of that controversy with the teletubbies a while back...
are the teletubbies homosexual??
aww i dont think they should take it off the air niether i mean! i actually sing the songs that spongebob sing! haha he makes everyone happy and yea..hes soo funny and kyoote...and i mean spongebob and patrick are like best friends...so what if they hold hands i see them lil 3 year old kids hold the same sex hands too doesnt mean they are gay..gosh i love spongebob=]
Eww wtf man. It's Spongebob, he can't be gay. Why, cuz he's always "ready", is it cuz he always wanted to grow a mustache? AAAHHHH DONT LET THEM CANCEL THE SHOW!! They didnt stop teletubies when they found out tinkie winkie was gay...*sigh...
-FaR
^ omg that ROCKS!!!
thats ridiculous. seriously.
the world today is stupid.
that's the stupidest thing i've heard today, you're bound to offend someone with anything these days. if you don't wanna see him then change the channel/turn off the tv/block that channel/get rid of cable/get rid of your tv. oh the possibilities. deal with it, geez.
wth? For the love of-- it's a cartoon.....what kinda message can a cartoon fri*king send out...
Well I cant stand spongebob so I hope they do take him off the air.
Although because they think he is gay is kinda fu*ked up.
i don't know why anyone would like that? i mean, spongebob just has a high voice and patrick is just really dumb. and spongebob even used to have a crush on sandy! i think he did................
Woah. I don't think he's a homosexual. He's just..happy a lot and has a very squeaky voice. I don't think it was the creator's intention to make Spongebob gay...
of course not spongebob rules n i plan to see it keep on going...
patrick n spongebob arent really r they?
well little kids dun understand i mean spongebob WAS mai life when i was in 3rd grade it was the BOMB...spongebob was like the top show in mai life...no...!!!
Why are they making such a big deal out of it? It's just a cartoon! Do you think kids would actually understand that homosexuality stuff?
PLEASE LET"S GET OUR STORIES STRAIGHT.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6853667/
that should clear things up, also watch the newscast which is the free video on the middle of the page, it really clears thigns up.
Well, there was the episode where they were wearing eachothers color underwear (PINK and YELLOW); and then they walked off hand in hand.
Well, they may call that gay,
But I call it friendship (BFFs).
[well, maybe it's just a little gay... ]
BUT STILL! It's a cartoon. Why not have some guy guy action along with it?
ofcourse he's gay......and?? the show wouldn't be so popular if he wasn't.
i speak in behalf of the jews. Spongebob must live.
LOL that's hilarious! Is he really gay? Wow... well yeah he sounds like it actually, but *cough* ---- homosexual? Wow... but but but I love that show! I love Patrick, he's stupid and funny! I don't want him to go away!
i love spongebob! they better not get rid of it!
i dont think they will tho since it makes so much money..
i cant wait for the movie to come out on dvd!
oh wth that's crap.
i <3 my spongebob.
don't make him leave!!
oh man, i really hope they don't take away spongebob He is so hilarious....but gay? how is he gay? I was so sad when they stopped airing "bobby's world" it was the best cartoon. If they take off ed, edd, n' eddy or somethan, then i would be mad...but still, don't take away spongebob
but everyone loves him!!
sponge bob is gay??? uuh if so, so what??
how the hell is he gay
and how will little kids be able to tell he's gay?
Ahahaha, it's like that thing with Tinky Winky and how that guy wanted him to be taken off the Teletubbies.
This my friend.. proves how foolish mortals can be.
I heard about that from my little brother. It was just too funny.
i dont think he should be taken off the air :{ even if he is annoying.
i have some good news tho! 20 new episodes have been oredered!
being gay is nothing to be taken off the air. screw people like that.
wth thats so stupid! they should know that spongebob aint gay because he did kinda like sandy before. geeze stupid peoples
Ugh, what? o.O. Spongebob.... is... not gay. I mean wtf, its a child cartoon show. All right then. I'm getting tired of this church bs.
no fa realz they shouldnt be doin this i mean if they dont want their family to watch it them dont waych it/...
screw those churches. lets save spongebob.
[edited] sorry this was a double-posted message.
yeah i saw that on the news or whatever. i mean i'm not a huge fan of the show but that's bull.
AHHHHHHHHHH :| NOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE SPONGE BOB!!! WELL I ACTUALLY LOVE PATRICK!!! AWW HES SOO SEXY!! YUMMMIEEE
Spongebob rocks my socks.
And I never found Spongebob and Patrick gay.. they're just happy-go-lucky buddies !
This is rediculous. I mean, IT'S JUST A KIDS TV SHOW for God's sake. So they want spongebob to be all racist and anti-homosexuality then??? -_- These church people are just paranoid
it kinda sucks how people(not anybody here) have to turn a simple kids show into a big scandal all the time..
i heard about that on the news too. i doubt/hope that spongebob isnt gay...omg that would ruin our chances together
sponge bob is a funny guy =P
Everyone, here's a resource:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/20/sponge.bob.reut/index.html
the only sexual thing i've ever seen between spongebob and patrick was when they had the clam...then patrick was like "lets have another one!"
i dont really think it promotes that at all...you dont just turn gay after watching it!
"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 are popular with gays."
*sigh* so you take it away? how about you take away bet, too =/
eh? its a tv show Sponge bob is for ENTERTAINMENT. Geez...these news companies should start looking at other topics that are more important
spongebob [the show] is extremely stupid. i cant bleieve ppl still actually watch it. alright, maybe wen i was lyk 11 i watched the damn nickolodeon show. but now i certainly do not.
about the homosexuality thing - - > if spongebob is supposedly gay, then SO WHAT? All because the churches think that being homosexual is a "Sin" ... doesnt mean that they rule the world. Not everyone is Christian. Not everyone is against homosexuality. Not everyone has a problem with it. If them Christians are gunna make such a big controversy over a pety little childrens show, then they can go shove it up their ass and take their goody two shoes over to their kids and make THEM not watch the show. PROBLEM SOLVED!
NOT SPONGEBOB! omg why do people think tht? damn church people, they should go fist themselves! spongebob is NOT gay, he is just a cartoon in a kids show. do you see him kissing other guys? do you see him raising a kid with another man? i dont think so, so he aint gay
I SAW THAT 2!!! HAHA THEY THINK SPONGEBOBS GAY..HAHA!
i never liked the show... i found the theme song annoying and the storyline just blah. But i think it's unreasonable to just take it off air just because some no-life come out and gathered a group to make a statement. Why in the world would the producer target the show to children and then make the character homosexual? People look way too closely to details these days, they should just chill out and watch (if they like the show) it. Don't they have same gender friends of their own?
Wtf. That's just WRONG,WRONG,WRONG! I adore Spongebob. I have like, 4 Spongebob backpacks and I have 2 Spongebob watches from Burger King. Shame on people who said he's homosexual.
how cares if he is gay
its a TV show for kids. im pretty sure none of them think he is homosexual just their tight ass probably christian mothers and fathers do
uhh wth, i didn't see anything sexual between spongebob and patrick at all? those church people are too paranoid. they should just stop letting their kids watch it...i personally like the show.
songebob annoys me to no end.
all these re runs, theyre going to kill me
someone told me he was on crack too *shrugs*
but the gay thing's just funny. he's not gay.
i heard something about this from my english teacher. i`ve never seen anything unusual about it though.
Spongebob is so not gay. Maybe bisexual...but not gay
Err... I think he's just EXTREMELY happy all the time.
He rox. They shouldn't take it off the air
thats really stupid. its just a TV show. and i don't think the lil kids who watch spongebob know what gay means. and the older people who watch spogebob? i don't think they care whether he is gay or not.
why do the creators want him to be homo, anyway?
spongebob is just a little childish. haha. they shouldn't take him off the air. i laugh whenever i see him
