LOS ANGELES – "SpongeBob SquarePants" might get squeezed off Time Warner Cable.

Media giant Viacom Inc. said its Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central and 16 other channels will go dark for 13 million subscribers at 12:01 a.m. Thursday if a new carriage fee deal with Time Warner Cable Inc. is not agreed upon by then.

The impasse would mean "SpongeBob" and other popular shows like Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" and Stephen Colbert's "The Colbert Report" will be cut off on the nation's second-largest cable operator.

I was verbally dismembering your arrogant A$$

I guess I missed that part. I saw a bunch of ignorant bluster, no dismembering.

YOU SPELLED GRANDKIDS WRONG!

How so? And your caps-lock key is stuck.

I taught my grandkids that arrogant over educated IDOTS

What is an "idot"? Is it similar to a "T bo’d"?

Is English perhaps not your native language?

[SoftballMominVA]

hmmm..... make that Comedy Central :)

[Xenalyte]

Maybe if you’d give a look into standard English spelling and punctuation, that wouldn’t happen.

Criminy, what are you, a troll?

[ViLaLuz]

Good riddance to Nickelodeon, the homosexual anti-God indoctrination channel for children.

I see where's there is one there is three more. Troll I'm not. Please listen up! I have been a member of free republic since October. As you can see I have never posted a thread. Nor have I ever sarcastically picked on another person for mis spelled words. Its a pathetic common occurance in free republic. I see it every single day. Let me ask you, are you a part of the pathetic troubeling pattern of bad behavior in here?

I’m a *Typical White Person* who cannot spell or capitalize.

[Kozak]

Just wondering ... is losing "the Daily Show" and "Colbert" supposed to make me feel bad??

No. But loosing South Park will......

[Lazamataz]

I hate you.

[katiekins1]

you need to remove *humble* from your handle

[katiekins1]

You are one gigantic piece of work! Let me ask you something! you behave like an emotional retard straight out of kindergarten. You behave like men that verbally and emotionally abuse their wives. Now shut the hell up! Leave poor Bob square Pants die a peaceful death!

Very good!

All the words are spelled correctly, although I'm unsure what the asterisks are for.

Now at the beginning of each sentence should be what we call a "capital" letter.
You can make these by using your "shift" key (below the "enter" key) and typing the letter.
These "capital" letters go at the beginning of every sentence you write!

Notice the ending of your sentence. See how there is nothing after the letters?
We use a thing called a "period" there. It is part of a group of things we call "punctuation".
You can make a period by striking the key with the little dot on it, two keys to the left of the shift key we discussed.

now beginning on each sentence...blah blah blah!!! move long now little boy!

[katiekins1]

I see you are so full of yourself that you probably don't even realize how pathetic you are. Do you need some viagra to make you feel like a man?

[humblegunner]

now beginning on each sentence...blah blah blah!!! move long now little boy!

Oh my. It seems you are unteachable.

[katiekins1]

Oh my! It seems you have over dosed on you own EGO!

[Xenalyte]

You confused her so much, she’s posting to herself! You rock.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

I’m going to stick my nose into this because I’m so tired of seeing trolls and newbies trotting around FR, flapping their gums and cluttering threads with nasty posts.

Please clean up your nastiness.

[humblegunner]

It's the awesome power of the T bo’d IDOT.

I shall probably have to re-read Dune to properly understand it.
