SpongeBob SquarePants –> Actually an adult cartoon?
I work with children up to age 12 and we regularly watch movies and cartoons during one portion of our day. Growing up I was always allowed to watch SpongeBob and my parents never had an issue with it. However, I noticed recently at work when we would watch a cartoon with the kids, some of them told us they are not allowed to watch SpongeBob because their parents tell them it is inappropriate (I was shocked because I didn’t understand why… until I really thought about it). SpongeBob lives in “Bikini Bottom”, there are characters named “Mr. Krabs” and “Sandy Cheeks” who live in bikini bottom, the newspaper for the town is called the “Bikini Bottoms Examiner” and I’m sure there are many more adult hints that people overlook or miss. It’s very strange when you think about it, so I wonder if the cartoon was meant to be an adult one in which case it would be easy to show how this could be true.
–> still thinking of my second idea..
