Erect frog on Dobson kiddie site
Posted By Bob Cesca
Dr. James Dobson is on a homophobic crusade against SpongeBob for promoting tolerance towards the gay community.
However, I clicked over to Dobson's Family.org website and onto his kiddie section called "Ribbits". Cute enough, except for the frog with the giant erect penis -- WHAT?! A purple frog with a big ol' woody. Dr. Dobson! An erect purple frog? A horny toad, if you will? Gasp!
Write to Dr. Dobson or simply dial 1-800-A-FAMILY and ask him why he's forcing children to look at frog boners.
UPDATE: More Dr. Dobson frog boners found. Thanks to commenter DiDi.

You know of course that in fairy tales a frog is generally interpreted as a symbol for the male genitalia when viewed with disgust?

And don't forget, as Jerry Falwell pointed out in the Tinky Winky debacle, that purple is a color associated with the gay movement... So what exactly is that frog getting a woody from...? Does that mean we have a gay erect frog on one of Dr. Dobson's pages...?

Purple...that way of talking and dancing around...you know that Barney is gay! But is he a "practicing homosexual"?

I think little Tad has some (little) action going on too...You'd think they'd be watching crotches better than this on a Christian web site for kids...

Mullah Dobson is way ahead of you. In one of the "Ribbits" games they suggest a solution for decreasing the size of that troublesome appendage below the waist: http://img144.exs.cx/img144/5906/14qq.jpg

And what about "The Wiggles"?
If thats not a bunch of gay guys then my gaydar is completely shot!
Posted by: JP at January 22, 2005 03:12 PM
I think the Wiggles are a bunch of married ex-professional child-hood educators who apparently used the latest research in developing their act. My recollection might be fuzzy however.
Of course, that dosn't mean they're not all gay, just sayin' though.

Um, can someone please explain to me what kind of perv projects sexuality onto innocent children's programming? People who see kinky sex hiding under the beds where the commies used to be are projecting some serious sexual malajustment onto little people who should not even have to worry about those issues for years to come. In other words, let an innocent child enjoy their innocent years, the sponge is goofy. Children are goofy, that is their joy. Only a seriouse freak would project sexuality on a child. Scary freaking people.

'Scary freaking people' who demonize the gay community. 'Scary freaking people' who crusade against those who promote tolerance. Dobson and his ilk are the worst kind of hypocrites.

That's a crease. Now who's projecting?
Posted by: CTD at January 22, 2005 10:27 PM
CTD -- You don't get it, do you. Dobson is on a crusade against SpongeBob who he criticizes for "corrupting our nation's children" with messages of tolerance towards the gay community. Yet Dobson himself is corrupting children by exposing them to... frogs with boners. It's satire, man. Sheesh.
Posted by: Bob Cesca at January 22, 2005 11:03 PM
CTD's absolutely correct... it's a crease (specifically, one of those "projecting" kind o' creases you occasionally wake up with after a really good dream).
Seriously. If you want to be literal, ACTUAL amphibian genitalia looks like... er... uh... a crease. Hmmmm.
As for pantless froggy priests... well, that's close enough to the truth that I'll give Dr. Dobson a pass on it.

Here's a frightening thing: Check out the "froggy friends" pages, specifically the description for Cottonmouth: "His real weapon is deception (and a powerful weapon at that), specializing in planting insidious thoughts that sound logical and even theological."
Dobson's mission here seems to be planting the seeds of paranoia and hate to children. This is the devil's work.

it's worse than that.
if you look closely
there something hanging
out of his pants as well.

Jeez, all those frogs look like anthropomorphized green penises to me ... I am going to do so bad on the next Rorschach Test.
Posted by: Patrick Taylor at January 23, 2005 08:09 AM
Bob Cosca got it right, this would be really funny if it weren't for the kind of people who take Dobson serious. Problem is he isn't a tool, he's an architect. There is real evil out there (like people who project sexuality on kids)but it is not on anyones radar, instead gay bashing, artist bashing, foreigner bashing, intellectual bashing...never important till its you. Laughing at it to keep from crying is great, until you wake up and find yourself living in one big Salem.

This outrageous. Here's the letter I sent to The Dr. Dobson:
My son, Joshua, was on Ribbits for the first time yesterday.I logged him myself and even bookmarked it even thinking that we'd continue to go back to it often. I went to make lunch, and shortly therefter he came running up to me. He seemed upset and confused and he asked me to go with him to the computer. "Why dear, what's the matter?", I quized. I couldn't imagine what would have put him in such a dither. "The purple frog on Ribbits has a stick pee pee.", he practically shouted. What could he possibly be talking about,I wondered? So we went the monitor and he put his little finger on the "stick". I gasped..There, sure enough...that huge purple frog had an...er**tion. I could not believe what I saw. What could I say to him,I thought? He's only 4 years old..a child. I could not, would not, explain to him what were both looking at. He's just not ready for this information. I immediately suggested that we turn off the computer and that he "read" his Noah's ark book instead. When my husband came back from the hardware store, we went into the office and closed (and locked) the door, so the Joshua couldn't come in. Together we stood there in complete shock. But getting to the point here, who in your computer art department would do such a thing? Please, either pull that page or change the picture of that purple frog. My son continues to press me on going back to the site again. I won't even sign him on for fear that he'll want me to go back to your site again.(Curiosity, you know?) What could your people be thinking? I'll monitor it (the site) daily (alone) during the next few weeks to be sure that it's "cleaned up". Otherwise, I'll just take it off the bookmark totally.

Brilliant, JoAnn. I promoted it to the main page.

Here is my letter to Dobson.
Dear Dr Dobson,
My wife and I are devout Christians, because of some personal tragedies I suffered as a young gymnast, I am unable to have children of my own. My wife and I recently adopted two Latino children, Rosaria Maria Constantina age 4 (We call her Cindy) and Juan Alejandro Hector Pedro age 5, (we call him Peppi). We recieved several of the Ribbits videos for gifts for the children. I must say that as a new parent I have been hyper sensative, as to what my children watch, I dont want to condemn their little hearts to hell. When I read that your Ministry was behind the videos, I didnt even prescreen them. Boy did I regret that! Have you watched this filth! Your name is on the boxes, but I cant believe you support this! Most of the frog characters are drawn with HUMAN sex characteristics! Male frogs, have "buldges" between their legs, and since the characters are NOT wearing pants, one can only assume that the "buldges" are exposed sex organs! Several of the Female characters, especially "Rosita Anita Juanita Buggita Froggita" are drawn with large breasts that move and undulate as if the women were not wearing bras. I have noticed that the "young children" characters are drawn without clothes, while all of the Adult characters are drawn with clothes. In my opinion this sends the
wrong message to our kids, and it is almost "pornographic" the way all the adults in the stories consort with young undressed children. The characters do not have behaviors of the amphibians they are supposed to be. Your Amphibians, stand on two legs, have visible genetaila and subscribe to sterotypes like the "smart one", the "fat one", the "latin one" etc. They are drawn enough like humans that small children can grasp the difference. Yesterday, my boy Peppi, was stripped naked (except for a ball cap) in the back yard hopping around and "ribbiting". when my house cleaner pointed this out to their nanny, she asked Peppi "what are you doing?", Peppi replied "I am being Tad Pole". After I got the call, I promptly left the office and came home. After my wife had finished cleaning up dinner, we sat down together to watch the videos. I must say that there is a very obvious layer of adult eroticism, and I can not believe that this was intended for small children. I have recently heard of your criticisms towards "spongebob squarepants" and honestly can say that I would rather have my children watch the Playboy channel (channel 595 on Direct TV) than watch your "ribbits", any day.
Stop Taking lessons from Hugh Heffner, Bob Guccione and Larry Flynt!

Rev. Gluck -- Brilliant. Promoted to main page, with an all new image.

Hello There,
Yes. It's definitly a penis on your website. The frog has a visible penis. Yes. The penis on the frog appears to be "erect" and upon a closer look using Photo Shop, the penis is circumcised to boot.
Question: Why does your Family website have an erect penis on the Jewish frog?
Thank you, I await your response on this matter.

http://img144.exs.cx/img144/5906/14qq.jpg - is that frog hooked up to an enema bag? Talk about klismaphilia.

jeez, it's only a highlight from the light source on the right. It's a rendering from a cheap 3d program so it looks funky.
Posted by: waltsatan at January 28, 2005 02:48 AM
And jeez... "We Are Family" is only teaching kids to be tolerant. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH TOLERANCE???!!!
