Something's Swishy About Shark Tale
Cartoon Primes Kids with a Pro-Homosexual Message

Movie Review by Ed Vitagliano
November 17, 2004

(AgapePress) - It is an axiom for many parents that, when it comes to teaching kids what they need to know, "It's never too young to start."

What happens when Hollywood applies the same axiom to teaching young people -- even children -- to accept homosexuality?

That appears to be the case in the DreamWorks animated film Shark Tale, released in theaters in October. While it won't take in the money of last year's Disney/Pixar hit Finding Nemo, the DreamWorks story of life under the sea netted almost $119 million in its first 17 days in theaters.

<SNIP>

Lenny's mannerisms and voice tend toward the effeminate, notes a review by Scott Tobias in The Onion A.V. Club, but that's not the worst of it. For in sharkdom, masculinity is measured by one's proficiency as a meat-eater.

<SNIP>

This is from the "American Family Association." Anyone hear them making fun of it on the Majority Report tonight?? Sam was great! The scary thing is that these people are DEADLY SERIOUS.

How much longer until the backlash begins????

2. How about some Haldol?
They have far too much time on their hands. Like when they scrutinized every frame of Pocahontas until they decided it showed an erected. It turned out to be the little guy's knee.
These folks need medication. Seriously.

4. Oh, they are serious, but there's probably more to it then that.

A co-worker was advising people in the office not to take their children to see Shark Tales. When asked why he said it was "too black". :puke:
