Ukraine’s Morality Police Probe ‘Gay’ SpongeBob: The dangerous perversions of Disney and SpongeBob SquarePants may soon no longer afflict Ukraine’s impressionable children. The sharp eyes at Ukraine’s National Expert Commission for Protecting Public Morality have spotted a report by a right-wing religious group that complains about SpongeBob’s “promotion of homosexuality” and Disney films’ “pornography,” and on Tuesday announced that it was calling a special session. According to the report–published last week on the fringe Catholic website “Family Under the Protection of the Holy Virgin”–these and several other children’s shows are “a large-scale experiment on Ukrainian children” to “create criminals and perverts,” and should be banned. The commission is a state body that evaluates media to check they observe Ukrainian morality laws, which ban inciting religious hatred, producing or disseminating pornography, and propagating alcoholism and smoking, among other things. It’s not clear when it will meet to discuss the report.

Spongebob Squarepants Is Gay, According To Ukrainian Commission: Ukraine is apparently very serious about protecting the welfare of the country’s children. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ukraine’s National Expert Commission for Protecting Public Morality have called for a special session to determine if Disney, Spongebob Squarepants, and Teletubbies are unhealthy for the nation’s young minds. The commission allegedly received their information from the Catholic website “Family Under the Protection of the Holy Virgin,” which claims that most child’s programming is dangerous to the development of young, healthy minds. Specifically, the report states that these television shows are “a large-scale experiment on Ukrainian children” to create “criminals and perverts.”

Ukrainian commission wants to ban ‘gay’ SpongeBob and Teletubbie ‘losers’: First they came for the Simpsons and now they want SpongeBob Squarepants. The Ukraine is considering a move to censor several children's shows after a new study from a conservative commission labeled the shows "a real threat" to the country's youth. The Ukraine's National Expert Commission for Protecting Public Morality released the report, which attacks several U.S. and international programs as detrimental to the country. Psychologist Irina Medvédeva is quoted in the study, alleging that children aged 3 to 5 years old, "pull faces and make jokes in front of adults they don't know, laugh out loud and repeat nonsense phrases in a brazen manner," after viewing the shows.
