MORALITY police in one country are trying to ban the popular Nickelodeon cartoon SpongeBob Squarepants due to its "promotion of homosexuality".

The Ukraine's National Expert Commission for Protecting Public Morality has slammed the cartoon as a "real threat to children", The Daily Mail reports.



The 'evidence' the report references to the cartoon character's homosexuality seems to be how he regularly holds hands with a pink starfish called Patrick, who is also his best friend.



The report also takes aim at the Family Guy, Pokemon, The Simpsons and Teletubbies for the ideas they portray to children.
