Yes I did. But the AFA article posted on FR a few weeks ago only mentioned SpongeBob and the other cartoon characters in passing. It does seem clear to me that for some odd reason SBSP is being singled out for particular criticism. You can't turn this into a NYT conspiracy - that article from the AFA/worldnetdaily was posted a while ago. In fact, I suspect the NYT picked the story up from here because it wasn't being widely reported except in the fringe-right media.
You sure loves your conspiracies, boss.
