Ukraine wants to ban SpongeBob SquarePants

UKRAINE HAS DECIDED to set its sights on the world’s biggest threat to humanity – SpongeBob SquarePants.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the scarily-titled National Expert Commission for Protecting Public Morality in the Ukraine is considering banning the ultra-absorbent one from TV screens.

This measured response to the children’s cartoon is based on a report by the Family Under the Protection of the Holy Virgin website (they don’t appear to do short titles in the Ukraine).

Living in the disgustingly titled, not to mention completely fictional, land of Bikini Bottom, Mr SquarePant’s apparently promotes homosexuality. How he does this, we’re unsure.

Also on Ukraine’s hit-list are the Teletubbies, with Tinky Winky coming in for heavy criticism for his occasional carrying of what looks like a woman’s handbag.

Other countries have home grown wacks.

They don't need ours to show them how to be stupid or bigots.

Same narrow reaction.

But yea, they can probably take ques from other wacks, but they probably add their own little twist to make it Ukrainian, or French, or whatever.

They probably come up with their own ideas too, from time to time. Like throwing acid on a woman's face. Haven't seen an American do that one.
