UPDATE: According to my bro, Robin came out with tape over his mouth and did not sing.

ABC executives have forced Robin Williams to drop a comic song from the Oscars show!
Williams, the presenter of the Academy Award for best animated feature, decided last week that his one minute on stage would be a prime time to lampoon conservative critic James C. Dobson, whose group Focus on the Family last month criticized the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants for appearing in a video about tolerance that the group called "pro-homosexual."

NEW YORK TIMES reporters Dave Halbfinger and Sharon Waxman are developing a story for late Sunday editions, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.
Williams had hoped to joke using lisping character:
"Pinocchio's had his nose done! Sleeping Beauty is popping pills!
"The Three Little Pigs ain't kosher! Betty Boop works Beverly Hills!"
"Fred Flintstone is dyslexic, Jessica Rabbit is really a man, Olive Oyl is really anorexic, and Casper is in the Ku Klux Klan!"

Officials from ABC's broadcast standards and practices office were not amused.
Williams explains: "For a while you get mad, then you get over it. They're afraid of saying Olive Oyl is anorexic. It tells you about the state of humor."
Developing late...

He did do a bit about Sponge Bob. Saying Chip and Dale were more likly gay and that Bugs was a cross dresser. And that bugs had more dresses than J Edgar Hoover. But no song.
