Mr. Rogers Neighborhood could only have existed that long within the bizzare vault of PBS. It was a daily televised psychotic episode ... "Let's ask the Trolley if he likes my new shirt ..."

Nice neighbor. "Fred's a quiet man, very polite, doesn't go out much. Y'know, the kind of guy you'd expect to keep human heads in his freezer."

So SpongeBob may be gay? At least he's not a Communist.

The greatest philosopher of our times is Bugs Bunny. Next to him, the rest are but maroons!;)

Bugs Bunny was definitely gay.

Always dressing in drag, kissing Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam on the lips, and prancing around in that little effem-busy-body way.

Thanks for bringing me up to date.

It's been a wonderful evolution ... we've gone from cartoons about Thor, son of Odin and the God of Thunder, to the cartoon exploits of a gay kitchen sponge.

This tells me nothing about SpongeBob, but simply that on some level "gay" men just never grew up.

This reminds me of a statement by Jean Shepherd.. and I am paraphrasing a bit. THe context was how there were no male lolita's etc, you were a man or you weren't, the story was about him first being invited along with dad to go fishing... was something along the lines "you either grew up and became a man, or didn't and were a faggot".

Nah, Bugs had the head-swarming stars and a rapidly expanding heart would explode from his chest when he'd see a female of any size, age or species. He was an operator, some of his pickup lines are classic.

Any of you who don't agree, let's hear YOUR votes for Best Made Cartoons!

I don't agree. Never watched SpongePants SquareBob or whatever, and never will. Looks too gay. Simpsons is where it's at, dude... And King of the Hill.

You nailed it. It's all about indoctrination.

My wife's best friend is gay, and he is writing a children's book about two gay men. He says it's about teaching tolerance, diversity, blah blah blah.....you know the mantra.

Not to go off on a rant here, but I think that it's about forcing acceptance of a lifestyle on the general population. Who you have sex with is a behavior, nothing more and nothing less. To teach kids that self destructive behavior is OK is irresponsible self-justification.

Furthermore, this gay friend recently came 'out' to his mother (wonder why he waited until his Dad passed away, but that's another story). The news devastated the poor woman. The wife and I recently visited her and you can see that she's still coming to terms with the news a year later.

The 'tolerance and diversity' preachers don't talk about that side of the equasion. Guess that they figure it's someone else's problem.

And I thought I was cool watching the Simpsons.

You are. All of life can be explained by the Simpsons.

You are full of crap. S.b. is a cute cartoon and very funny at times. There is nothing wrong with it any more than there is something wrong with Goofy, or Cecil the Sea Sick Sea Serpent.

Is Spongebob more or less gay than Mr. Rogers?

Mr. Rogers is, was, and will always be skin-creepingly gay.

Hobbes can hang with the rabbit, cuz it's Popeye, Bugs and Homer as characters in the annals of TV cartoon animation. Sylvester the cat and Boris Badenov are damned close. Impish primate Chim Chim ... of course.

The guys writing the Warner cartoons were competing against, and satirizing, the Disney gulag. They were the rebels, they gave their characters piss and vinegar. Daffy Duck cracked a little wiser than did Donald.

There's a lot of clever nuance throughout that show ... there will be a scene in front of the town library which has a sign outside saying "We have books about TV".

Ok, I am a Buckaroo Banzai fan, and I don't see the connection between Spongebob and Buckaroo and his crew of bandmates and fans...

Can you give me a hint?
