Ukraine pleads the character SpongeBob is gay

Coming out seems to be a habit these days, even if it is a cartoon. Now it's your turn to known character in the cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants. Not that the most famous sponge 'Bikini Bottom' has changed sidewalk by itself, but a study of Ukraine has decided to label and by his attitude. According to a study by the National Commission on matters moral defense of Ukraine, published by the local daily 'Ukrainskaya Pravda', says the character known yellow is a danger because "presents a real threat to children" and will propose the Government remove the TV programming. According to psychologist Irina Medvedeva cited by the study, children ages 3 to 5 years, after watching these series, "grinning and teasing in front of adults who do not know, laugh out loud and repeated so ostentatious nonsense." But SpongeBob is not the only character who has come out of this badly television studio. As published in the article, shows like 'The Simpsons', 'Futurama' and 'Family Guy' are projects "to the destruction of the family, the propaganda of vice and drugs." For its part, the series creator of SpongeBob, Stephen Hillenburg, defined the protagonist of the series and his companions as "asexual." Bob, conservative antagonist? Not the first time the world's most famous sponge is accused of being gay. In 2002, The Wall Street Journal published an article about the possible homosexuality of SpongeBob. To do this, he resorted to a sociological analysis of the public who saw the series: though designed for children 2 to 11 years, a third of its audience was adult, and largely homosexual. Meanwhile, The New York Times also devoted a few lines: "In addition to its popularity among children who watch their series, has become a figure between gay adults, perhaps because it takes your hand with teammate Patrick and likes to watch the imaginary TV program 'The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle boy.' " But the best known case in which Bob was criticized for encouraging homosexuality was when he participated in a video for We Are Family Foundation in coming out singing along with other characters from children's entertainment the song with the same name. The mission of the popular song and video was acceptance and tolerance of homosexuals and, as expected, the message was not well received among communities that conservative American friends of then President Bush.
