UKRAINE HAS DECIDED to set its sights on the worlds 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 childrens cartoon is based on a report by the Family Under the Protection of the Holy Virgin website (they dont appear to do short titles in the Ukraine).
Living in the disgustingly titled, not to mention completely fictional, land of Bikini Bottom, Mr SquarePants apparently promotes homosexuality. How he does this, were unsure.
Also on Ukraines hit-list are the Teletubbies, with Tinky Winky coming in for heavy criticism for his occasional carrying of what looks like a womans handbag.

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.
