Scrubbing Off SpongeBob Misconceptions

Okay, let me get this straight. On the news today – The show SpongeBob Squarepants is a sensory overloader and can cause attention deficits in children.

First, it was a show promoting homosexuality. SpongeBob, apparently is gay. Uhm, non-sea people, sea sponges are asexual. Ergo, SpongeBob is neutral. And if he is gay, there is nothing wrong with it! There shouldn’t be any issues with gender. Period.

Secondly, the show promotes “mental sluggishness” because of Patrick. This, I think, is absurd. Give me one cartoon character that has an IQ high enough to be a member of MENSA. None. Patrick is funny, and for kids, funny is what’s important.

Now, it’s this psychological drama. Keep in mind that in the study, 4-year olds were asked to watch the show in 9 minutes and they arrived with the conclusion that because of its fast-paced nature and ever changing scenes, kids become restless and predisposes them on acquiring attention deficit hyperactivity disorders. My apologies, but I’m not buying this.

SpongeBob Squarepants in my opinion, is geared towards older children and adults, not 4-year olds. At 31, I find the show very entertaining, with Patrick being my favorite. After all, 4-year olds should be slumped on the floor with other children, playing with Legos or making their imaginary forts instead of watching too much cartoons!

I am a SpongeBob advocate and if I need to go to Senate for this, I will. My future kids will be watching SpongeBob and getting vaccines. Because of this, I gotta say that Bikini Bottom Rocks!
