Your Child is Being Corrupted by Spongebob Squarepants!
It’s been a long time since we first met Spongebob Squarepants in 1999, though there doesn’t seem to be much talk about the awful things he continues to do to our poor little childrens’ minds on a daily basis.
Where are the throngs of protesters chanting catchy slogans? Where is the Senatorial debate? Why do we not see masses of protestors with signs and torches when we need them to come to our aid?
Spongebob is a sea sponge that lives in a pineapple at the bottom of the ocean in a town called “Bikini Bottom”.
It is easy to point out many different things that are wrong with this one sentence that really should cause you to think about what Spongebob is teaching children!
- Spongebob looks like a yellow kitchen sponge and not a sea sponge at all, though both his parents do look much more like sea sponges
- He lives in a pineapple that never biodegrades
- The towns’ name is a sexual innuendo
- Bikini Bottom is also a reference to Bikini Atoll, an area devastated by the USA in the 1940s and 50s by nuclear weapons testing
With that one simple sentence about the show we have already come across some major issues, and yet nobody says a word and we continue to allow our children to watch. With every single episode that you watch, you will notice more and more things in the show that could be damaging to your childs developing mind.
The characters routinely use fire underwater, such as campfires.
The characters go to the “Goo Lagoon” beach to swim and sunbathe… underwater. One surfer fish named “Scooter” DIED at Goo Lagoon because he was buried in sand up to his neck and nobody dug him out before high tide came in and drowned him! (Spongebob Season 2: Episode Name: Bubble Buddy)
Scooter does return in later episodes, alive.
The various fish-based characters drive boats as cars and ride bicycles with multiple rotating paddles as wheels.
One of Spongebobs’ neighbors is ‘Squidward Tentacles’… the octopus… though he has 6 tentacles instead of the correct number of either 8 for an octopus or 10 for a squid. Squidward also plays the clarinet… underwater.
“Mr. Krabs” is a crab that owns the “Krusty Krab” restaurant, and he has a daughter named “Pearl”… who is a Sperm Whale.
Across the street from the Krusty Krab is the “Chum Bucket” restaurant owned by “Sheldon J. Plankton” whom everyone refers to as just “Plankton”. Plankton is in fact not “planktonic” (drifting in sea waters), but is “benthic” (living on the ocean floor), and is married to…. a computer named “Karen”, whom in the Spongebob movie states that she never agreed to marry Plankton.
And now Spongebob has moved from your television into the real world.
I live with my wife and our two children in a suburb of St. Paul MN, and we sometimes go to Mall of America in Bloomington, MN. We have taken the children to the renamed “Camp Snoopy” which is now “Nickelodeon Universe”, and there you can find many references to Spongebob throughout the amusement park. On occasion they even have a person dressed as Spongebob walking around greeting children, and they can also have their photo taken with him.
What more proof do we need that Spongebob is a conspiracy to brainwash our children and make them think that all the anomalies I pointed out above are to be considered “normal” or “acceptable”?
Do we really only care about being spoon fed mindless entertainment each day from the moment we wake? We as a society are being taught that we shouldn’t think for ourselves or concern ourselves with the actually important events happening in our world, but should instead sit at home and watch “American Idol”.
I took a quick break from my Sony digital camera repair work and just finished watching my Spongebob Season 3 box set, and will purchase season 4, 5, 6 etc. shortly… strictly to do research only most assuredly. I will report back with my findings after watching them all… a few times… with my children of course because they love Spongebob and we watch it all the time. Now I need to get back to some Canon digital camera repair work or I won’t be able to buy that new Spongebob box set!
I can’t wait for the new Spongebob movie to come out? I can’t wait to see it!
