[I don't know if this is "fundie" per se, but I find it kinda funny. It's a comment on an old Star Wars anti-smoking-ad uploaded on YouTube]
Yea, great message for kids. Anti-smoking, yet a homosexual golden robot is giving it.

C3PO isn't gay just because the man who plays him is.
I'd suggest a refresher course on the difference between fiction and non-fiction, but I somehow doubt it'd do very much good for reefguy15.
C3P0 and R2D2 were based on two characters from an old Japanese film. Fundies are so charged up on arrogance, an intolerable smugness, and violence, they see every example of mildness and openness as kind of an abominable effeminism. That's why Teletubbies (and Sponge Bob and Big Bird and Romper Room) appear "gay" to them, rather than the appropriate way to talk to very young children. You know, "ga ga goo goo oo... he's got a tubby tum-tum! Oh, he's got a tubby tum-tum!", not "The weak shall perish, the strong shall survive! No lollygagging round my area!"
I wonder what this guy thinks about Astor, the Robot, who can reattach his arm. Very androgenous Astor was. Really, with their interchangable parts and true multitasking abilities, robots should be able to explore facets of sexuality unknown to humans.
I think he's referring to this old trading card:

An object in the background behind C-3PO lines up almost exactly with a bulge in the crotch area of the costume, making it look like C-3PO is sporting a rather impressive boner.

What was that? Bloody buggers!

One of those big spinning blades chopped off his dongle some time ago, and he just hasn't been bothered to reattach it yet.
Yeah, except for the fact that robots can't reproduce sexually, and therefore cannot have sexual orientation.
It's not like any sane person would give a robot some robo-genitals just for the heck of it. Unless it was a fancy new kind of sex toy, there wouldn't be any point in giving a robot genitals at all.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Makes me think funda-MENTAL-ism should be in the DSM-IV manual as a mental illness.
"a homosexual golden robot is giving it."
Robot = gay, eh?
Care to explain that logic (pun intended) with Arnold Schwarzenegger? His Terminator isn't exactly what you'd call 'camp', eh? (despite that early scene in T3). Arnie is married to Maria Schriver (effectively making him a Kennedy!).
Your call, reefguy. Or should that be reefgay ? Projecting, much?
PROTIP: Robots, even androids, are purely electro-mechanical. They aren't organic. Thus they have no genitalia. Therefore they have no gender. Ergo, no sexuality (in before ST's Data).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
