NOTHING BETTER TO DO

The fundies and holy rollers have found a new target for their homophobias:

Conservatives Pick Soft Target: A Cartoon Sponge.

Now, I, for one, am not part of the gay cheering section for this cartoon. In fact, I am not enthusiastic about having him as an icon for impressionable FFA's (Future Faggots of America). He is hardly the kind of role model that I would recommend to the young and aspiring.

From my point of view, what little I have seen of him, SpongeBob is pretty obnoxious and not very sexy at all. If anything, he would appeal to the frog crowd. In fact, I suppose he does, as he inhabits the shallow waters as well as the deep.

I wasn't too happy about the furor over Twinky Winky either. That purple smerf or what ever he was. What are these bigots thinking?

If they were really interested in censoring homoerotica, they should be worrying about all the action cartoons and most of the movies that kids go to see; lottsa lottsa muscle and heavy male bonding.

I blame Paul Newman for a lot of my early gay inspirations; the first actor to show a good pec. Brando was a 'contendah' but he mostly stayed t-shirted. Enough of course, but not all the way. I remember sitting in a theater with my cousin Barbara waiting for the inevitable shirt removal; both of us going ga-ga over the prospect.

I guess that was a signpost, huh?

Come to think of it, I relished a lot of the bible pics (Samson and Delilah, The Robe, The Ten Commandments and so on) because they were a sure thing in the skin exposure department. These were considered, and probably still would be, exemplary films for the young, budding male, christian. Little did they know. I was budding all right.

Which reminds me! Why aren't they interested in hetero-porn? I want equal blue nosing! You can't get more kinky (S&M department) than the Mel Gibson Christ biopic they all ran to see. Talk about twisted.
