First they cam for Sponge Bob, then they came for Shrek...

The Religious Reich nut-jobs at the "Traditional Values Coalition" (TVC) have taken their Theocratic idiocy up a notch. Now they are attacking the cartoon donkey Shrek.

No, it's not because Shrek is a donkey and is sending children a subliminal message to be Democrats. It's because Shrek is sending a trans-gender message.

excerpt:

Shrek 2 is the latest animated film title to be "outed" by Christian fundamentalists in the U.S. On its website the Traditional Values Coalition (news - web sites) is warning parents about the cross-dressing and transgender themes contained in the hit DreamWorks feature, now on DVD.

"Shrek 2 is billed as harmless entertainment but contains subtle sexual messages," says the coalition, which describes itself as a grassroots inter-denominational lobby with more than 43,000 member churches. Parents who are thinking about taking their children to see Shrek 2 may wish to consider the following."

The article then proceeds to describe one of the characters, an "evil" bartender (voiced by Larry King) who is a male-to-female transgender in transition and who expresses a sexual desire for Prince Charming. In another identified scene, Shrek and Donkey need rescuing from a dungeon by Pinocchio and his nose, which is made to extend as an escape bridge by getting the wooden boy to lie about not wearing women's underwear...

This is just a tiny chip of the lunacy coming from TVC. The full article can be found at the above link. Maybe we should clue TVC into Gannon's antics, which were/are live action rather than mere cartoon animation.

What is it with such people that search innocent trick movies? For gods sake, those are fairy tales, what is wrong about that? Are they missing something in their life?

the T.V.C. are cartoon characters themselves=cave drawings done by some scum bags too dumb to come out of thier caves.

9. It should be noted that Donald Duck has no pants on

Generally: If you look at cartoons from a fundie point of view, they've got a long way to go as far as dress code is concerned.

Ah, well. I wonder what they do if they see a real penis?

The fundies, not the cartoons ;-)
