Oh, and he’s the poster boy for an ungodly homose-xual lifestyle according to the hard-right US group and Sarah Palin boosters, Focus on the Family. Spongebob is enthusiastic, generous and absorbent. His best friend is a starfish named Patrick who once won an award for doing nothing longer than anyone else and is prone to removing his underpants at inopportune occasions.

The headline of a story in the tabloid Melbourne Herald Sun screamed, “Gay TV for kids” and dared to ask the tough question, “is this too risqué for family viewing?” I suspect that by “authentic relationship” she really means “nice boy and sweet girl meet at church and spend crisp autumn afternoons sweeping the back yard at the retirement village before heading indoors to finish their geography homework and maybe watch The Howard Years on DVD.”
