OMG you poor thing, go sleep right this minute!

Since homosexuality is now so prosaic and mainstream that SpongeBob is "out", when will our children be subjected to the "Health" instruction on this topic in the same way that they receive "smoking" education? Last week, the video about a woman who had her tongue removed after mouth cancer- next week--anal warts!! (Aren't you all glad I don't teach this class?)

From "The Federalist" newsletter: Speaking of homosexuals activists, they are, once again, targeting children -- this time with "family-friendly" cartoon characters such as Barney and SpongeBob. Teacher lesson plans promoting homosexual coupling as "normal," including a video using the hit 70s tune "We Are Family" starring Barney and SpongeBob, will be distributed to 61,000 public and private elementary schools nationwide on 11 March to coincide with a proposed "National We Are Family Day."

Some of the "partners" in production are: Anti-Defamation League, Crown Theatres, Disney Channel, FedEx (providing shipping), Nickelodeon, HIT Entertainment, Nile Rodgers/Sony Publishing/The Bernard Edwards Estate/Warner Chapel, Nelvana, PBS, Scholastic, Sesame Workshop, Toni Mendez Shapiro Estate, and WGBH-TV in Boston. (Be sure and thank them!) Along with a lengthy list of popular kids' shows ("Arthur," "Blue's Clues," "Clifford the Big Red Dog," "Little Mermaid," and "The Magic School Bus," just to name a few), the video also features cameo appearances by entertainers Bill Cosby, Diana Ross and long-time Village Idiot Whoopi Goldberg.

I guess that news makes this a hate crime.

A+++ i do not believe that spongebob is gay. i just don't. just bc he has no girlfriend and is best friends with Patrick does not give rise to the presumption of fag. i mean, danny, joey and jessie, all live together in San Fran and not a single one of them is gay (can you tell that i am subjected to an inordinate amount of Full House reruns? )

[Laura Earl]

Says who?

[Laura Earl]

Whatever happened to the middle daughter?

[mikrofon]

Are you prosaic if you're not poetic?

[xsmommy]

in real life? or on the show?

[xsmommy]

probably, but i prefer prosaic to poetic, personally! A+++

Good day, xsmommy:

---

It must be rough being a scion or scioness.
Living a life of privilige and ease.
Without parents and constantly under duress.
As Trust Funds grow fat, oily and obese.

There's no impetus for improvement.
To excel or succeed.
Surrounded by peers equally priveliged and lazy.

Never getting your hands dirty.
Having everything given to you grows old.
Your vision becomes hazy.

Thinking thoughts simple and prosaic.
Will become anathema, dangerous and archaic.
You will think yourself steeped in "Diversity".

Because your gardener's Hispanic.
The family lawyer a Jew.
Your grades will be well padded before University.
You'll fight over Mummy and Daddy's Off Shore Account.

Manitaining your status will be such a panic.
As Daddy was leveraged before you could count.
There's money and fame. It's all up and fair.
Holding the middle position on "Hollywood Squares".

Jack.

[xsmommy]

gee, i don't know anyone like that, but sounds like a rough life ; ) A++++

[Laura Earl]

Real life.

[xsmommy]

i don't know, i thought i saw something about her recently on ABC Family, but i can't recall what it was.

[xsmommy]

jimbo, never prosaic, loses again. :::sob:::

[NeoCaveman]

Free the rug!

[xsmommy]

i meant to ask you if you have heard if he had any health problems. my SIL said at church one weekend they prayed for a Jim Traficant something about a liver transplant situation or something, i can't recall. but it had me worried for jimbo's health.

[NeoCaveman]

I hadn't heard anything about it. Old Jim hasn't been in the news much here, until today.

[theDentist]

I knew a girl named Perky once.

No, twice!

[Jack Deth]

Gabz:

You should know that even if the means were available to get out if being lost. We men would never use it. Let alone admit to being "slightly off course".

My brother had an old 1968 E Type Jag convertible. Black. Wire wheels. 5 speed. An absolute dream to drive. He traded it in on a baby blue VW Beetle. Insurance was killing him.

I do miss that Jag.

Jack.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Free the rug!

Shave the whales!

Go down to Brazil!

(Go down on Brasile? )

No.

Wait.

Don't do that!
