Neocons and Brain death
A lot of the inititaive to invade Iraq came from the Neo-Conservatives in the US. Im not going to get into an argument about the pros and cons, (dated and tiresome, the facts speak for themselves). I shall however give you two pearls of wisdom from these paragons of a perfect society.
a. James Dobson, founder of right-wing group Focus on the Family, attacked SpongeBob Squarepants - the cartoon character at a black-tie dinner in the run-up to President Bush's inauguration, describing it as a Gay Icon, because it frequently holds hands with its best friend a Starfish named Patrick. Apparently the group Sister Sledge did a remake of the video for the song "We are Family" using shots of Sponge-Bob and planned to mail it to schools to promote the ethnic unity in diversity of America. This was criticised by Dobson as a clandestine attempt to spread Gay thought amongst young American children?!?
b. Tinky Winky - yes the hand-bag carrying Teletubby, was also criticised as Gay symbol by the Conservative Think-tanks because of his offending hand-bag.
Now I recognise the significance of subliminal messages (hence the title of this bloody blog), but guys please!!
Anyway, Im glad about Brokeback Mountain and the Cowboy character in Village people (both of which I was indifferent to as entertainment, to be honest), because I really want to know what the Neocon's reaction to these two direct symbol's, ban Cowboys? These call to question Judgement surely?
What worries me about the above instances is that it betrays an unhealthy disposition, the first thing I think of when I see Sponge Bob/Tinky Winky is not their Sexuality (Goodness me!!!) but either the humour or infant entertainment value respectively. If what you see is the former, then you need help and immediately too. Freud, Freud, Freud.
Now about the decision to go to invade Iraq?
