There are certain cultural icons whose presence in and influence on the world is so powerful and pervasive, it transforms them into signposts marking the march of history – the world before and after Elvis, the Beatles, JFK and now ... SpongeBob.

Amid all the celebratory hubbub, it can seem strange to remember just how strange SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom posse seemed when they first appeared way back in 1999.

I’ve always thought that Spongebob had a Bugs Bunny quality to it, and that’s what I’ve always liked about it. Sometimes it really makes me laugh.

Yeah, but it’s like they’re not even under water...

Ah, actually, to set the record straight, it was the homosexual crowd that claimed Patrick as one of their own. The creators - wisely - slapped that down over many episodes.

You know you do.

While I do not mind my daughter watching this show, I prefer it over some of the bilingual ones that push spanish or chinese.

I was babysitting the other day— forced to watch this. Actually wasn’t that bad! I’m embarrassed to say.

My son is 9 mos old and we recently purchased Looney Tunes DVDs. There is so much acceptance/tollerance/Spanish crap out there. It is very difficult to find good old fashioned animated violence!
