SpongeBob is...

gay? No, this isn't an insult. I'm not a fan of the show...but, apparently, there is an organization that thinks SpongeBob SquarePants is a tool used to promote the tolerance of homosexuals. Don't believe me? Read it for yourself here.

First off, I want to say that this is ridiculous, if true. I'm going to go off on one of my crazy, raging tangents in about a minute, but I have other things about this issue to discussion. So, I did some more research on this, and I found a website that lists an upcoming episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. The episode is entitled: SpongeBob SquarePants - Spongebob Gay Spectacular. Now, I'm not sure how credible this website is, so I went looking some more. Here is that website, if you're interested.

I searched google with the following search terms: SpongeBob SquarePants Spongebob Gay Spectacular. Yes, the same terms as the name of the suspected episode. I figured it was a good place to continue because it had all the terms I was looking for. I didn't find anymore hard evidence on the existence of the episode, but the original website that I looked at says it airs on January 30th. If you didn't already know, that is the same day as the Iraqi elections. Coincidence? Most likely, but I find it a little ironic. You now, it's like rain...on your civil union day. Nevermind....

Okay, my second order of business is to break down the quote. This quote is from the group that made these outrages accusation. Now, this might be a big shock to all of you...this group was a Christian group! Who would have guessed it! A Christian group that has a problem with the gay agenda! That's like the KKK having a problem with "niggers." Anyways, here is the quote I want to break down:

"We see the video as an insidious means by which the organization is manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids," he said. "It is a classic bait and switch." -- Paul Batura, assistant to Mr. Dobson at Focus on the Family

If you didn't already notice, this quote is from the New York Times article above. Since he mentioned the subject of brainwashing, let's talk about that for a second. His group, Focus on the Family, sees the video as an insidious means by which the organization (the organization that made the supposed video supporting the gay agenda) is manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids. I could be wrong, but doesn't that sound a lot like something religion does to children? Religion has been brainwashing people for thousands of years. Gotta get most people while they're young though, to have the best chance to brainwash them! Let's take a brief look at the religious history of brainwashing, shall we?

The Earth is the center of the universe! The only way people will believe that there is a God is if he's focused solely on humans! Nevermind that there are probably millions of planets just like ours elsewhere in the universe! If there is a God, he is focused solely on Earth because we are so fucking great. Well, as you all probably know, and I really hope you do, the Earth isn't the center of the universe. It isn't even the center of the solar system. Despite that fact, this belief went on for thousands of years. We don't believe that the Earth is the center of the universe anymore, but the affect of that ancient belief is still with us today. What I mean by this is people still think that, if there is a God, he is focused only on humans. Now, to me, that notion is completely insane. If God is the creator of the universe, the alpha and the omega, the being that is everywhere and nowhere at the same time, then why wouldn't he create life elsewhere. Why wouldn't he want as many beings worshipping him as possible? And does anyone else have a problem with God being referred to as a him or a he? It makes me think that the people who created Christianity were all men. Oh...that's right. They were! Okay, this is one of my crazy tangents. Although, I'm not raging quite yet, but stay tuned for that.

Back on topic. The quote referred to a "bait and switch." I'm not a man who knows what that term means, so I looked it up online. Here is the definition:

1. the ploy of offering a person something desirable to gain favor (as political support) then thwarting expectations with something less desirable

So, by that definition, the something desirable is the cartoon character SpongeBob. The something less desirable is homosexuality. By using SpongeBob to promote homosexuality, it is somehow wrong because these assholes say it is. And who the hell decided that homosexuality is less desirable? Oh, that's right religion strikes again! I'm tired of religion telling people what is less desirable for them. If you're attracted to the same sex, how is that less desirable to you? Now, I realize that I am stretching the quote a little bit, but my point remains the same. I'm tired of these self-righteous pussies telling other people what they can and cannot do. I'm tired of the wars caused by religion. I'm tired of the intolerance and prejudices people have because of religion. Basically, I'm sick and tired of religion.

Yes, there was a little rage there. I could have gone off a lot more, but I decided not to just yet. I wanted to point out an article I found from the group that is making these accusations. Here it is. The group said that this is all a big misunderstanding. It says that Dr. Dobson, who supposedly said something about SpongeBob being gay, was misquoted. Basically, he said that his words were misrepresented. But, even if his words were misrepresented, his group doesn't promote tolerance. Here is a direct quote from the article:

"While words like 'diversity' and 'unity' sound harmless — even noble — enough, the reality is they are often used by gay activists as cover for teaching children that homosexuality is the moral and biological equivalent to heterosexuality. And there is ample evidence that the We Are Family Foundation shares — and promotes — that view"

Hell yeah! And there is ample evidence that your group is fucking off its rocker! You mother fuckers are so God damn, and yes, I used God's name in vain, caught up with promoting your religious agenda, you fail to realize that not everyone shares your view! I don't share your view, a lot of other people don't share you view, and quite frankly, you view is a bunch of pie in the sky bullshit. The only reason I have any respect for religion is that it keeps people in line. Some people need religion to act the right way. Myself, I don't need anyone to tell me how to act. I lead my life how I want to and I'm still a good person. I've never killed anyone, I've never been arrested, I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't gamble and I call my mother. Basically, I don't have many of the so called "vices" that many religious people have. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with drinking, drugs or gambling. Quite the contrary. I believe that you should be allowed to live your life however you want to. If you want to do drugs, drink, or gamble, that is fine with me. You aren't having any impact on my life. This goes the same for you religious people out there. If you need the crutch of religion to hold you up, that's fine by me. If you want to believe that there is a God, more power to you. I'll see your ass in hell though.

That post was so long, I think my dick grew a couple inches in the process. Yes, wishful thinking, I know, but a guy can hope. Good night everyone! And just for the record, I'm not gay, but I know some of you intolerant bastards will think that....

HERE I AM...

...ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE!

Good evening everyone. I haven't updated in a while, but this will be my third post this month. So, I am starting the new year off on the right foot. I have my first day of class tomorrow, which should be fun. I spent the day with my grandma today and we watched football. She fell down and possibly broke her arm the other day, but she refused to go to the hospital that day/today because she wanted to watch football. I guess she has a high tolerance for pain. I know my ass would be at the hospital immediately.

Only one of the teams that I wanted to win did. I wanted the Rams, the Jets, and the Colts to win, but they didn't. Instead, the Falcons, the Steelers (those lucky bastards), and the Patriots won. The only team that won that I wanted to win was the Eagles. I can't stand the Vikings, partly because they are in the same division as my Lions, and partly because I can't stand Randy Moss. I wasn't as outraged as some people over his whole mooning incident, but I didn't apperiate his comment after he got fined. He got fined 10,000 dollars and, when asked about how he felt about it, he said something like, "what's 10,000 dollars to me?"

Now, the reason I was angry about his comment is because I barely make over 10,000 dollars a year. I'm still in college, so I won't be making 10,000 a year for very long (hopefully), but it just got me thinking how lucky some people are to have a skill like Randy Moss has. Sports stars, movie stars, rock stars, etc. It makes me wish I had one talent that I could make some money off of. I guess everyone has that wish, but comments like that make me realize it even more.

Anyways, I'm doing rambling on about things I can't change. Good night everyone!

More Snow!

Hooray! I just got done shoveling more snow. I shoveled my driveway and my grandma's driveway, with the help of my dad. Now I'm just sitting here relaxing. I don't know what compelled me to update again, but I did. That should be a good enough reason for you.

I start school again on January 17th. I am not too excited about this semester. I am still at a community college and I still don't know what I'm going to do for a career. I guess I should know what I want to do by now and I should definitely be at a university of some sort. I really need to figure all this out, so I have a lot of thinking to do between now and the fall semester.

Well, that is all I have for you right now. Here are my results for a quiz I just finished:

You scored as Chandler. You're Chandler. The sarcastic commitment phobe. Could you BE any funnier. Chandler 75% Ross 40% Monica 35% Joey 35% Phoebe 30% Rachel 30% Which Friend are you? created with QuizFarm.com

End of transmission....

Bring On Global Warming!

Sorry for the lack of updates again, but I just can't seem to find the will/time to update. Let me start off by saying that I hate snow. I hate driving in it, I hate shoveling it, and I hate seeing it. I'm either going to move to California or Florida, or hope that global warming happens before I die. If so, I can stay in Michigan because I am one of the few people that actually likes living here. I don't love it, but it is not too bad. To put it plainly, there are worse places to live in America, in my opinion. I'm not saying that Michigan is the best, but it isn't that bad.

In other news, this is my first post of the new years. I only posted twice in December, so I guess my New Year's Resolution will be to update more often and masturbate less. Oh, and get a girl friend, which will probably lessen my masturbation needs. You probably didn't want to hear that, but hey, you just did.

I had a rather enjoyable Christmas vacation. Spent some time with my family, got lots of presents, you know, the usual. I worked on Christmas and got time and a half for it. I get paid for that tomorrow and that is a good thing because I had to take my car in to fix my tires and brakes, which cost me about 80 bucks. Also, I have to pay some medical bills for my ulcer episode, so I am just a never ending pile of bills right now. Well, what can you do, it's a welcome to the real world for me.

Um, nothing much else to say really. Good update, I'll see you out there.

And for those of you that don't know, that last line there (good update...) was an Old School reference. I substituted a word, but still a reference. Oh, and if you haven't seen Old School yet, I suggest you do because it is a great movie. Good night everyone!
