Ah the hypocrasies........

Here's a thought: MAYBE ALL OF THE ABOVE IS JUST ENTERTAINMENT AND TRULY HAS NO "HIDDEN AGENDA" MAYBE THE PEOPLE READING INTO THESE SHOWS ARE PUSHING THEIR OWN AGENDAS.

At least when the right does it you can see the sheer stupidity and their agendas.....
I'm sorry, but there is a slight difference here. Some humor can be destructive even if its not intended to be. There's a difference between promoting violent humor or having racist humor in a cartoon and having an animated sponge (who has a girlfriend) hold the hand of his best friend. Not to say I don't love me some Looney Tunes and Stooges, but its humor does cross the line into violence a tad more than SBSP crosses the line into homosexuality. And even if they were equally obvious then at most one promotes a kind a togetherness we aren't comfortable while another promotes a kind of violence we aren't comfortable with... which would you say is worse?
