Shrek 2 - The Newest Fundie Target

Just when I thought it was safe to watch all my movies that I have left after Dobson and his wierdo-homo-fearing cronies 'outed' a lot of my favorites, here comes an attack on Shrek 2!

On its website the Traditional Values Coalition is warning parents about the cross-dressing and transgender themes contained in the hit DreamWorks feature, now on DVD.

The article then proceeds to describe one of the characters, an "evil" bartender (voiced by Larry King) who is a male-to-female transgender in transition and who expresses a sexual desire for Prince Charming.

In another identified scene, Shrek and Donkey need rescuing from a dungeon by Pinocchio and his nose, which is made to extend as an escape bridge by getting the wooden boy to lie about not wearing women’s underwear.


As Pesky'Aprostrophe points out in the nice post I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way, are they going to go after the Wolf in Little Red Riding Hood for dressing up as Granny? Or what about Bugs Bunny? He dressed up like a girl bunny a lot.

And what about Wayne's World, where Garth asked Wayne if he ever thought Bugs Bunny was attractive when he dressed up like a girl bunny. Was Garth a closet queer? Was that whole "foxy lady" routine just a facade? Was he really fantasizing about Bugs? What about Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie. Is there no end???

The whole fabric of society is crumbling... crumbling, I say! Grab your mommies and daddies and head to Colorado Springs. This could be the beginning of the apocalypse.
