Obligatory fail, that is...oops...

Spongebob gives me faith in the future of cartoons.

This is not easy to sing without screwing up. Might be easier/harder depending how you pronounce "our" though.

To really warp your brain, the lead writer for the TV show was the mime on The Aristocrats.

Healy says it will cost several thousand dollars to wipe the animated yellow sea sponge's image from the site.

shiat, hire me. I'll do it for a single thousand. Good ol' government contractors.

my guess is that it was done by a company that charges outrageous amounts of money to remove vandalism from public buildings.

He was also on Mr. Show.

Meh. The guy who does Patrick's voice was Dauber on Coach.

It's Spengbab!

Dammit, subby! I was just about to submit this with a very similar headline.

Congrats on the green anyway.

And is a f'n genius, IMHO.

Anyone who can write a show that's funny to kids, but downright hilarious to adults deserves a medal. Some of us are subjected to watching this stuff whether we like it or not, we may as well enjoy it. Adults smoke pipes, have sideburns, and listen to free-form jazz? Gold.

The 10-foot tall painting of Nickelodeon character SpongeBob SquarePants is on a cabin in the Pike National Forest that used to be the Forest Service's tree nursery until it was abandoned in the 1930s.

I didn't know it was possible to vandalize property that had been abandoned in the woods for over 70 years.

And they want to spend thousands to clean it up?

I agree. My favorite part is the fact that Spongebob is a classic cartoon character. He is a square so the faces they can use are unlimited. I watch Spongebob every day (earlier today already).

Have you noticed his voice has changed recently?

I don't think that it looks much like Spongebob.

I came for obligatory Sponge Bong Hemp Pants references

Exactly. He's wholesome enough that you don't have to worry about your children watching, but he still pulls in a lot of those "golden age" cartoon elements which made them classic. Show half of the old Looney Tunes or Popeye cartoons to children nowadays and you're lucky if DCS doesn't take your kids away. Which, by the way, is a crying shame, as classic cartoons are what taught me a love of orchestral music. Animaniacs, Spongebob, and Courage the Cowardly Dog stand out as three modern cartoons that bring back that nostalgia.

I haven't watched lately. I stopped when they re-ran the same 10 episodes 15 bajillion times.

Oh great first people steal Spongebob inflatables from the roof of Burger King restaurants around the country and now people are painting Spongebob Squarepants on chimineys. Spongebob's popularity continues.

Puberty?

Approves

Ikahoshi: Gunny Highway: Have you noticed his voice has changed recently?

Puberty?

That explains the splotchy tufts of hair and the weird episode with Pearl also. They grow up so fast *tears*.

/while I dont obviously.

Ugh... Even baked off of my ass I can't stand that show. It's such a crappy Ren and Stimpy rip-off.

Have patience, you too will reach puberty, I'm sure of it.

Ikahoshi:

We can dream cant we.

Hyatus

I can see where you would think Spongebob is a Stimpy rip off. But the shows as a whole are completely different. But yea I would say Spongebob was inspired by Stimpy, Looney Tunes, and the WB cartoons of the 90's. He is better than all the pseudo-anime they have now days.

Mr. Crab is voiced by the guy that played the Kurgan on the Highlander movie.

FTA:

Officials say whoever painted the cartoon on the chimney brought four colors of paint and that it was a time-consuming venture.

It was 'time-consuming' and during all that time, nobody saw them? That's some good security work there, Lou.

The entire point of the article is something visual, and there is no picture?

That's some fine journalisming there, Lou.

Oldiron_79: Mr. Crab is voiced by the guy that played the Kurgan on the Highlander movie.

Clancy Brown. He was also the big mean prison guard in The Shawshank Redemption. Looks like he really enjoys doing voice work for cartoons.

Oldiron_79: Mr. Crab is voiced by the guy that played the Kurgan on the Highlander movie.

He's mean-ass prison guard from the Shawshank Redemption, too.

/and his name is Mr. Krabs btw

And why don't you just admit even more, you don't bother when regular security of the place.

I take it you are Canadian? It's much cheaper to re-run episodes many time and wait for the product to get cheaper as time goes on..

Obligatory pop responses:

"That is ART! How dare the Forest Service destroy that cultural hallmark. Somebody call an attorney! Save SpongeBob! Think of the chillllldren."

"Well, those people are artists and they are just doing a job that nobody else wants to do."

Bring back Ren and Stimpy.

He was also the Drill Sgt on Starship troopers and the stepdad/sheriff on one of the Pet Semitary movies.

Back before I got to being a fatass I looked alot like him...
Girls that had a Kurgan fettish where usually very kinky....

You can't have a Sponge Bob thread without this:

several thousand dollars...really? To clean up paint?

How does one put in the musical notes in the headlines?

Well since the news article is devoid of pictures, you can check out the Spongebob Mural I did for my son's room:

Seconded. I kinda wish that was my room, but my wife might object. Awesome depth to the background, by the way -- it really makes the room look a lot bigger than it is.

I CAN STILL SEE IT WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES!

Also:

Ernest Borgnine = Mermaid Man
Tim Conway = Barnacle Boy
Marion Ross = Grandma Sponge
Mrs Puff is the first maid from Diff'rent Strokes (Pearl)
and many actors have done voiceovers, including R. Lee Ermey and a bunch of others that I cannot think of right now due to beer.

And this one time, SB told Mrs Puff, "OK! See you next Tuesday!"

My husband and I were just discussing this morning that we think Spongebob is this generation's Bugs Bunny.

K-State star Michael Beasley wanted for questioning!
