Spongebob has, for the most part, gone down the drain, as Nickelodeon slowly but surely lowers their target age group. Which really, really sucks, when you do compare something like an old episode of Rugrats to a new one. But anyways, Spongebob is a decent show, but hardly promotes anything except for poor humor and subpar merchandise.
Nitpicking the selection of "sexual identities" and claiming it crosses a "moral line" is laughable. The video, or whatever it is, promotes tolerance. However, the individual examples listed on the website probably won't even find themselves read by the children actually watching the video, so it's not like the video itself is a disguise for an attempt to turn the child population gay. And even at that, I fail to see how tolerating a man loving a man is any different than tolerating a black man walking down the street next to a white man. Or something like that.
When will these silly conservative groups learn that bringing forth such minor issues to the greater light of media does nothing but hurt their cause? They lose credibility, if religious are brought in Christianity will usually be mocked, and it will only rally more aggresive support on the side supporting homosexual tolerance.
