Mommy, Astronaut Barbie Made Me Gay!
Ahahahahaha *deep breath* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Thanks to John Avarois and AmericaBlog for giving me the biggest laugh in weeks.
Tinky Winky, Lenny the shark, and SpongeBob SquarePants move on over. The next child icon caught promoting the homosexual agenda is none other than BARBIE!!
Here is a list of known Toon homosexuals to date:
The religious right is now attacking Barbie for promoting "gender confusion." According to the men at the Concerned Women for America, Barbie is urging kids to go bi:
"This is directed at children aged four to eight... that's a really young age to be directing something along the lines of bisexuality."
Yes, Barbie is making four year olds want to have sex with other four year olds of the same gender. And the Concerned Men would prefer that children have sex with four year olds of the opposite gender, I guess.
What's really going on here is that the religious right has been attacking Mattel for months, just like they went after Ford and Microsoft and Allstate and Kraft and every other major American company. This is just another way for them to attack Mattel and get Mattel to do something bigoted to make amends.
But claiming that Barbie is promoting bisexuality to four year olds, that's just whacked.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. Of all the reasons to attack Barbie - unrealistic body image, etc - I never would have seen "promoting bisexuality" as a concern. I really think the American Taliban just throws a dart at random pop culture icons and goes "that's our new boycott!" every month. Because, seriously, wtf?
Besides, everyone knows Ken is the one promoting homosexuality. Remember in the mid-90's when they dressed him up in the mesh lilac top, and gave him a gold hoop earring? Heh.
On a more serious note, I'm noticing these fundamentalist groups are using this "gender confusion" terminology a lot now. This is all part of the larger stragegy of using psychobabble and touchy-feely, psuedo-PC lingo to confuse people... it's basically a kindler, gentler form of the same old homophobic, intolerant bullshit.
