Shark Tale is GAY, religious right accuses

Oh yeah. First it was Tinky Winky. Now they're taking on gay sharks. Not kidding. And they even quote "The Onion" as proof. And they ask why the hell we think they're a bunch of Bible thumping morons? You're accusing a shark of being gay and using the Onion as proof. Idiots.

In a nutshell, the movie is about a Great White Shark named Lenny who is a vegetarian. Dad does not approve, and the movie goes on from there. The movie's Web page includes the phrase "it's sometimes okay to swim against the current." And the religious right disapproves of this message of tolerance against those who are a bit different, even though, truth be told, they're pretty damn different themselves. One wonders how long the religious right would survive in a country like the one they're trying to craft - i.e., a country that crushes those who are different and unliked by the majority (message to religious right: you're not 50% of the vote, think about that).

Oh, and it gets better. Apparently the young shark "cross-dresses" as a dolphin! The horror, the horror. Now young boys across America may think it's ok to - dare I say it - dress as dolphins.

Only America's Taliban could bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "Free Willy."
