James Dobson and Ed Vitagliano are so mockable that they're not even worth our time. But hey, let's mock anyway.

"SpongeBob SquarePants is:
- Promoting the acceptance of homosexuality
- Promoting tolerance and diversity
- Absorbent, yellow, and porous"
At last check, you'll be pleased to know, the most humorous option had 73 percent of the vote.
