***best Jerry Seinfeld voice***Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Is this the Teletubbies crap all over again...lol.

It is interesting that a large part of the viewing public is over 16.

Sponge Bob, I love you man....just not that way ;)

Err..uh Ronn, dear....you need to get out more...or play IWD2 or NWN or something... LOLOLOL [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

Oh ye gods and firestones.

Don't people have anything BETTER to do with their lives than to spend it pondering whether a cartoon character is GAY?

Some people need to grow up and get a life. Sheesh!

(Not you, Ronn! I know you're just reporting it. Outrageous, though, ain' it?)

-Saz

The Wall Street Journal says part of its(Sponge Bob) reported $500m (£322m) merchandise sales have come from gay men snapping up branded toys, lunch boxes and even thongs.

Why do they sell Sponge Bob thongs? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I could see selling ripped underpants based on the "oops! I ripped my pants episode". I mean after all they already have "oops! I ripped my pants t-shirts", but thongs?

I must admit, he is one of the few cartoon chars that have ever made me laugh properly :D

This is my little girls favorite cartoon, and mine too! :D When it comes on she runs to get me, and I actually pause my game to watch it with her.

Being an old comic book superhero fan, I was completely hooked when the first episode I saw was with Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.

Thank goodness she's old enough to watch cartoonS I enjoy...um...er...I mean, that I can stand ;)

Fine then, I'm returning my thong.........

Spongbob is awesome. But every one at my high school right no is hooked on the doom song by grrr from Invador zim.

doom doom doom doom :D

The thing is, I've never even heard of the guy - I take it it's a US-only cartoon for now?

Haven't heard of Sponge Bob? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's only been around a year or two, but he's immensely popular.

Of course, with looks like those you know he'd have to be [img]smile.gif[/img]

Must admit I've heard the name before, even seen some pics before as well; it just never struck me as familiar. I'll *cough*download*cough* some episodes then. ;)

Actually, all kidding aside, this is a really good cartoon. It's nice when you can actually watch the same program with your kids and enjoy it as much as they do. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I once watched a few eppisodes but they didnt make me laugh as much as some other cartoons. Now Dragonball Z! *That* is a cartoon! :D

Oh,DBZ never striked my fancy but I've watched it
But
Here's the link to the coolest DBZ episode:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=31681

I thought it was squidward that was suppose to be gay?

Okay all you parents posting on this thread: Tell me.......
isn't it better to watch South Park with your kids? :D
Animaniacs? :D

Well, it's an important social issue, figuring out whether cartoon characters are gay, ranking right up there with...well, smelly socks and nosebleeds. ;)

It's actually possible to watch DBZ and enjoy it without having a serious mental disorder and missing 33% of your brain?

Ok, strange thread but here are some facts about sponge bob.
He live's in a pinneapple beneath the sea.
He wears square pants.

(This is more then I need to know!)

Yes, he lives in a Pineapple under the sea!

It may be more than you WANT to know, but you NEED to know more...you need to know the truth...

Here's the truth...........the REAL truth!

spongy AND yellow AND porous is he!

NO! SAY IT AIN'T SO!!
:D

Actually, as is easy to do with hotly debated topics, I didn't say what I meant. [img]graemlins/1dizzy.gif[/img]

While spongy........

The REAL truth is.........

Absorbent AND yellow AND pourous is he.

Now........

If nautical nonsense be something you wish....

There's only one thing you can do ;)

*peeks in thread, gets very confused, who is Bob? And why is he a sponge? What does he soak up then? Why are his pants square? I dunno [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] I'm leaving now me don't like this weird thread!*
[img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

"Hey, kids, I can't heeear youuuu!!!" :D

Oh, come on, Lady Z, what other shape of pants would a square yellow sponge wear?

Sooorrryyy, can't hear youuu Attalus, I'm too far awaaayyy. Can you say "na na na na na na na na"

:D

Appearently square pants fall down faster then oval ones.

ROTFLMAO!!!! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I just saw this thread and I can't believe it. A show that teenagers watch that adults think is actually funny?!!! AMAZING! I watch spongebob and I can safely say that he is absolutely NOT GAY... and secondly... why does it matter? Anyway, I think that spongebob is one of the funniest cartoons I think i've ever seen. It ranks up there with Rocko's Modern Life and those Monty Python animations by Terry Gilliam (I think that its Terry, brits help me on this one).

hmmmmm....you really think it has some redeeming social value, Piestrider? LOL Maybe I'll watch it someday! :D

Well, I think Sponge Bob is a rampant homosexual; just like many other cartoon characters. I always wondered why Beavis and Butthead never got any chicks :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color="lawngreen" face="trebuchet MS">I agree, anything that lives in a pineapple, has a sea snail as a pet and is friends with a fat starfish has to be gay. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

I completely agree with you Piestrider. :D And if any character on the show is gay it would be Patrick. I don't think he has any sexual organs whatsoever though.

Piestrider, it is indeed Terry Gilliam, and if you want to know what he looks like, look no further than Patsy, the coconut-clapping squire of Graham Chapman in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Besides, I thought you liked Doug. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
