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.

Why are there not hordes of protestors in the streets chanting angy 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 episode of the show you watch, you will find more and more things that will damage your childrens’ developing minds.

The characters routinely use fire underwater, such as campfires.

Many characters head down to the “Goo Lagoon” beach for swimming and sunbathing… underwater. One of the fish on the show named “Scooter” drowned at “Goo Lagoon” because after being buried in the sand up to his neck, he was left there as the “high tide” came in and nobody dug him out! (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.

Spongebobs’ neighbor 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 the octopus likes to play his clarinet… underwater.

“Mr. Krabs” is a crab that owns the “Krusty Krab” restaurant, and he has a daughter named “Pearl”… that 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 we find that he has gone from just your TV 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 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 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”?

Is all we care about mindless entertainment being being pumped into our systems 24hrs a day? We are being trained that we don’t have to think for ourselves or wonder about what might really be the important goings-on in the world; and instead we should just sit back, watch “American Idol” and consume, obey and reproduce.

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… for research purposes only I assure you. Once I have watched them all I will publish the results of my study… a few times… with my kids by my side because they love that sponge and we watch the show daily. 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 wonder when the new Spongebob movie is coming out? I can’t wait to see it!

Have you split up and want to get your ex back? Or you’re on the verge of splitting and want to save your relationship. You can use the following three tips to help you get what you want.

It’s not going to be an easy task to save your relationship but it should be a worthwhile one. Especially if you can feel there is still some love left. The next three tips could be just the thing to kick-start you into getting your ex back, or your relationship back on the rails.

1 – Rewind to the start of it all

Who, or what did you fall in love with? Think about that. And just what was it about you that they fell for? It’s easy to forget these things when you settle into the hum drum routine of a long term relationship.

When you first got together you work hard being the person they fell for. Try to find that person again. Your partner fell for the “you” that you were back then, so you need to find that person again.

2 – You need attraction to each other

Being attractive to your partner is key to a good relationship. Without it there is nothing. Like magnets, you can either attract or repel your partner. If you aren’t making yourself attractive to your partner then you are accidentally forcing them to be repulsed by you.

But attraction doesn’t mean making yourself look nice. You could easily be attracted to your partners’ sense of humour or self confidence. Identify what they were attracted to and play up on that again.

3 – Talk it over

Communicating is important when you are trying to rescue your relationship. But don’t overdo it. No one likes heavy duty “talks” and most will try hard to avoid them. Try not to be heavy handed when talking together. They will be thankful for some light-hearted chat.

Remember the good conversations you used to have in the early days, you need to recreate them. Those conversations were the ones that made the budding relationship even stronger. You can go a long way to saving your relationship by recreating those conversations with your ex (or partner).

Saving your relationship 101

Seems easy enough on paper right? It’s when we come to do something about it where we hit a brick wall. Many people just haven’t got the confidence (me included) to take the above steps. They end up missing the chance of happiness. If you lack the confidence to go forward from here then your chances of getting back together are slim.

However, a step by step “get your ex back” system will give you all the confidence you need save your relationship. I’ve done a review of the most popular ones at my website…

Do you want to get your ex back after a recent breakup? Or you’re on the verge of splitting and want to save your relationship. You can use the following three tips to help you get what you want.

Yes it’s going to be hard work to save your relationship but the rewards will be worth it. Especially if you can feel there is still some love left. The next three tips could be just the thing to kick-start you into getting your ex back, or your relationship back on the rails.

1 – Rewind to the start of it all

What was it about your partner that first attracted you to them? Also, who or what did your partner fall in love with? When a relationship stagnates into routine, it’s easy to let it slip.

At the very beginning you make the effort to please your new found love by playing up on the things they like. You need to recreate that person. Your partner fell for the “you” that you were back then, so you need to find that person again.

2 – Mutual attraction

Being attractive to your partner is key to a good relationship. Without it there is nothing. Think of magnets. They are attracted to each other, but turn them round and they are repelled by each other. If you aren’t making yourself attractive to your partner then you are accidentally forcing them to be repulsed by you.

Attraction can be many things. Not just someone who is pleasing on the eye. Attraction can come in the shape of intelligence or humour. Pinpoint what it was that attracted them to you and recreate it.

3 – Talking to each other

Communicating is important when you are trying to rescue your relationship. But don’t overdo it. The majority of us shy away from confrontation and possible hurt. Don’t make your ex suffer this hurt. Keep any conversations light-hearted.

When you first met and conversation was easy and smooth. This is what you need to recreate now. Those conversations were the ones that made the budding relationship even stronger. You can go a long way to saving your relationship by recreating those conversations with your ex (or partner).

Saving your relationship 101

Seems easy enough on paper right? It’s when we come to do something about it where we hit a brick wall. A lot of people lack the confidence to actually take action, and sadly end up doing nothing. I’ve been there & done that, or not done it as is the case here. Not having the confidence to go forward will kill any chance you had to make things up.

You could of course make the smart move and get yourself the confidence you need with a step by step system to get your ex back or save your relationship. I’ve reviewed some of the best relationship rescue books at my website…

I realise you are probably in emotional turmoil right now. Being dumped all of a sudden is a hard pill to swallow. You may well still love them and want to get your ex back.

Most people on finding out they are single again will readily accept it and try to move on. If your relationship was more than a few months then chances are there was love there, so why should you accept being dumped? It’s your choice, and yours alone to try and get your ex back. Here are a handful of tips to help decide.

1 – Does over mean over?

This depends, if the relationship was ok and there were no special circumstances like violence or abuse. Then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t decide to give it another go. Often times people accept things when they needn’t. It’s your right to try and rekindle things and get your ex back. After all, you don’t usually just fall out of love.

2 – What’s the next step?

This is a great time to give yourself a time out and get your emotions under control. You may ruin every chance you have if you attempt to win your ex back while in an emotionally unstable state. Your ex will also appreciate a bit of time alone, especially if they ended it. If you don’t pester them they will see you as being mature enough to handle things. This puts you in good stead when you do try to woo them back.

3 – What’s the plan, man?

You probably don’t have a plan right now and there are two roads you can travel here. Make your own plan up, or use a plan that has been used successfully in the past. I realise you are probably thinking “how do I copy someone else”. But fear not. Many people have written many things on this subject and we can borrow their expert knowledge.

4 – Where can I get that plan?

Ok, here are your choices, all the info you need is out there in one form or another for free. Your problem lies in finding it all and sorting the wheat from the chaff. And there’s a lot of chaff, let me tell you. Or you can take a short cut and buy a ready made step by step system with everything you need laid out in easy steps.

I know which one I would be going for as more than likely time is of the essence here. If your ex dumped you then you can bet they are looking to move on. This is where you can step back in and make them see the error of their ways. If you want to get your ex back you need to do it before they hook up with someone new.
