Fundie attempts humor: Throckmorton interviews Mrs. Squarepants

Nautical Nonsense: An Interview with Mrs. Squarepants
By "Doctor" Warren Throckmorton

Probably you have heard of the Sponge Bob Squarepants flap. Dr. James Dobson, Founder of Focus on the Family mentioned the words Sponge Bob and gay in a speech and then all heck broke loose. If you want to get media types excited, just mention a cartoon character and homosexuality in the same breath. For some reason, the combination inspires their creativity.

For instance, some reporters implied Dr. Dobson outed Mr. Squarepants. Creative, yes; true, no. Dr. Dobson never said Sponge Bob was gay or anything like that. The real truth is that Sponge Bob did some contractual work for a gay rights outfit and Dr. Dobson pointed that out. Although it is common for big stars to perform in charity gigs without knowing much about the charity, clearly Mr. Squarepants’ handlers should have vetted this whole deal more carefully. Reportedly, he is mortified that some people now think he is gay because of the whole brouhaha.

For his part, Mr. Squarepants refuses to speak to the media directly about the matter. However, I recently was privileged to be given an exclusive interview with Sponge Bob’s wife, Mrs. Sponge Barb Squarepants. Yes, I said wife. It has been an open secret for some time; Mr. & Mrs. Squarepants became an item during the filming of Mr. Squarepants' recent movie debut and then were recently married with Mr. Crabs officiating. I spoke with Mrs. Squarepants by conch.

Me: Mrs. Squarepants, my understanding is that Dr. Dobson did not say Mr. Squarepants was gay. Rather, he pointed out that your husband was in a music video made by a group that promotes gay rights causes on its website. He further noted that the makers may be using child friendly icons to advance acceptance of gay rights issues.

1. not funny, and completely inaccurate..

it continues to perpetuate the incorrect misassociation of two similarly named organizations...the same problem they had previously, and apparently still have.
