Spongebob rules! Yes Kris someone's posted this already mate but I can't remember in association with what...

What annoys me is that the Sky Network pulled Nick toons & Nickelodeon from cable/ Telewest the week before Christmas; the same day that my boy broke up from school.
Just to get people to switch to Sky.
B:rant: ST:rant: RDS!

Sorry for your boy. However I think it was more to do with money from Telewests' side than peeing off your boy. Try here (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds17703.html)

Thanks Kris, I emailed Nickelodeon & spoke to Telewest at the time, neither were really forthcoming...
As would be aparrent from the Forum attatched to the link you gave me.
I have heard since it was Sky that did the manipulating in order to boost customers on run up to Christmas knowing that Kids would go on constantly about loss of channels & parents would, eventually, cave in.

Sorry mate this seems to have run off at a tangent from the line of your thread.
I'll shut up now ;) !

Equal disgust has been aimed at Tinky-Winky the Tellytubby for his love of handbags

I still have a problem with just what these homophobes hope to achieve by ridding cartoons of anything even slightly camp...gay people exist, and they aren't going to disappear at the whim of intolerant twits.

What is also odd is that this probably won't even interest most gay people, more straight people are likely to get offended on our behalf.

Am I confused or is this thread suggesting that homophobia is PC????

I just think it's silly that a cartoon can be pulled off the airwaves because some hysterical idiot starts squaking that it might promote homosexuality!
