Yanks and their Relgion issues part #5

Source BBC News Online:

US fans of the flamboyant cartoon character SpongeBob Squarepants have set up a church in his name.
More than 700 members of the Church of SpongeBob meet for services in New York, Texas and California.

The church's manifesto says it wants to push "simple things like having fun and using your imagination", and offers study courses on the cartoon.

A spokesman for Nickelodeon, which makes the cartoon, said: "SpongeBob's appeal is extraordinary."

I truly am lost for words, I thought it was a wind-up reading the news piece but going to the website proved to me that Yanks need locking underground far away from civilization. What the HELL goes on in their minds to come up with shit like this? A Church for a cartoon character!?! WHAT?!?

I'm now off to the lanes to find a shop that sells a t-shirt which says "WHAT?!?" on it!

At least it isn't a church worshipping Diego Maradona.

From their website, on the church's tenets is "Wearing lucky underpants or a good luck charm may not work - but how can it hurt?"

I'd like to place an order for a sense of humour transplant for Mr Crabtree, please. Going in, not coming out.

"Running around naked was fun when you were a kid, and can be fun as an adult."
