"Dad, you're an IDIOT!"

[Joe Power]

That's what my kids told me as I sent them off to school with the warning, "Be careful on the way to school, and if you see Spongebob, don't turn gay!"

We had just been mocking the morning news before they left.

1. teehee......reminds me of that Simpsons episode w/John Waters

"He didn't get any gay on you, did he?"

2. I had forgotten that episode

Easily one of the best ever, imo.

4. Or the old SNL skit of Strom Thurmond in the elevator

talking to someone next to him about the flaming gay person that got on the elevator - "Don't stand too close, you might catch the gay!"

3. my 11 yr old rolled his eyes when I told him people were saying

spongebob was gay because he hold his best friends hand. He said mom, that was just one episode. But other than that, he's just preoccupied with digging some Playboy magazine someone tossed on the side of the road at the end of the street out of the ice.

5. Good for him

You should have heard the religious nutjobs trying to explain their "position" on TV this morning.

"Well, it isn't really even implied in the video, but if you go to the web site for the people who produced the video, they suggest tolerance for different views, and someone could interpret that as..."

Why the fuck are these people given a platform?

6. And then

they went and ran into Tinky Winky and now they're gay anyway. Thanks a lot dad! :eyes::evilgrin:

7. You try and raise them right...
