There are simply two things on television that I cannot resist — SpongeBob and The Godfather. I easily spend 4-5 hours a week watching SpongeBob, though I’ve never really obssessed over whether or not SpongeBob is gay. He’s just nerdy and funny (not that there’s anything wrong with that). My wife can’t stand the show (then again, she’s the only human being I know who doesn’t laugh at episodes of The Simpsons), but my daughter and I are devoted followers — especially the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy episodes which are simply TV nirvana.
My other obssession I can’t share with my daughter yet — I simply can’t resist watching The Godfather and The Godfather II. I’ve easily seen each of those films 200+ times and even in the edited versions on cable, those are the best two films ever made as far as I’m concerned.
And, of course, a lot of Left wing film criticism pegs the Godfather films as having a homosexual undercurrent. Which of course just begs the question that it’s possible with enough mental gymnastics to claim that everything from the Beverly Hillbillies to Knight Rider is really about homosexuality. (But it does keep English professors employed).
