It's been a long time since we first met Spongebob Squarepants in 1999, although there seems to be much talk about the terrible things he continues to do to our poor children's brains on a daily basis.
Why is not there hordes of protesters into the streets chanting slogans Angy? Where's senatorial debate? Where are the rabid masses (who has never seen the show before) when we're in our hour of most urgently needed?
Spongebob Squarepants is a sea sponge who lives in a pineapple at the bottom of the sea in a town called "Bikini Bottom".
I can recall several things wrong with that one sentence that should make you worry about what this show is to teach our children!
- Spongebob looks like a yellow kitchen sponge and not a sea sponge at all, although both his parents did not look much more like sea sponges
- He lives in a pineapple, which never biodegrades
- Cities' name is a sexual innuendo
- Bikini Bottom is also a reference to the Bikini Atoll, an area devastated by the U.S. in the 1940s and 50s of nuclear tests
With that one sentence on the show, we've already encountered some important issues, and yet no one says a word, and we continue to allow our children to see. With each episode, you see, you will see more and more things in the show, which can be harmful to your child's developing mind.
The characters routinely use fire under water, such as campfires.
The characters go to "Goo Lagoon" beach to swim and sunbathe ... water. One of the fish named show "Scooter" drowned in "Goo Lagoon" because after being buried in sand up to his neck, he was left there as a "high tide" came in and nobody dug him out! (Spongebob Squarepants Season 2: Episode Name: Bubble Buddy)
Scooter returning in later episodes, alive.
The various fish-based characters run both cars and ride bikes with multiple rotating paddles as wheels.
Spongebob 'neighbor, "Squidward tentacles of" the octopus ... even though he has 6 tentacles instead of the correct number of either an 8 or 10 squid for a squid. Squidward the octopus likes to play his clarinet ... water.
"Mr. Krabs" is a crab, which owns "Krusty Krab" restaurant, and he has a daughter named "Pearl " ... there is a sperm whale.
Across the street from the Krusty Krab is' Chum Bucket "restaurant owned by" Sheldon J. Plankton "which all refer to as simply" Plankton ". Plankton is not really "planktonic (drifting in the ocean waters), but is" benthic "(living on the seabed), and is married to .... a computer named "Karen", as in Spongebob the movie says that she never agreed to marry Plankton.
And now we see that he has gone from just your TV set to invade our real world.
I live with my wife and our two children in a suburb of St. Paul MN , and we sometimes go to the Mall of America in Bloomington , MN . On several occasions we have taken our children to what was once "Camp Snoopy ", but is now "Nickelodeon Universe" where you will find many references to Spongebob throughout the park. On occasion, they even have a person dressed as Spongebob walking around greeting children, and they can also have their picture taken with him.
What more proof do we need that Spongebob is a conspiracy to brainwash our children and get them to believe that all the irregularities, I pointed out above, shall be considered "normal" or "acceptable"?
Is everything we care about mindless entertainment that is also pumped into our systems 24 hours a day? We as a society are being taught that we should not think for ourselves, or deal with the really important events happening in our world, but instead should sit at home and watch "American Idol".
