Has the world gone mad?

"Absorbency Plus Frivolity, A Blend the World Needs"

 

 

"In the wake of the recent election, there's been some talk of healing, but until today no single figure has emerged with the capacity to repair the deep fissures in the body politic.

 

We are so hung up on blue states and red states that our only hope may lie in the primary colour that has been left off the map. We need something - or someone - yellow, and also absorbent and pourous enough to soak up the ill will and scrub away the lingering bad feelings.

 

Now more than ever, the country needs.................SpongeBob SquarePants

and starting today, in theatres everywhere, he answers the call, with big screen rendition of the nautical nonsense that has been delighting Nickelodeon viewers - including a great many grown-ups without the alibi of children - for the past five years.

 

If SpongeBob's nautical nonsense, the brainchild of Stephen Hillenburg, is generally not something you wish, then you may find the 88 minutes of "SpongeBob SquarePants the Movie" unbearable in their aggressive, puerile whimsy

 

True aficionados, on the other hand, will leave wanting more"

Is it just me or has the world gone completely f*cking crazy?

 

I mean honestly, SpongeBob SquarePants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whatever next????

 

On another note, kids tv is shit nowadays. I'm sure a lot of us will remember good old kids tv from the early eighties?

[Ginge]

80's kids TV was BRILLIANT.....none more so than THe Muppet Show.

 

I'm considering buying the complete Chorlton and the Wheelies on DVD soon.

 

"Ello little old lady"

[AlexV]

I was rather partial to a daily dose of Pigeon Street.

[Ginge]

Jamie and the Magic torch was good aswell.

 

Saying that, Spongebob is relatively OK but for modern day kids TV I prefer Fairly Odd Parents...especially on shrooms

[AlexV]

Ivor the engine was shite. Could possibly be a rival to SpongeBob SquarePants??

[Ginge]

Thinking about it...if they want something yellow...whats wrong with Bananaman?

[AlexV]

I couldn't agree more. What was the name of the Street he used to live on?

[Ginge]

Acacia avenue...number 11 or 12 I think.

[AlexV]

I thought it was 23

[Ginge]

Might be....cant remember the last time I watched it though.

[AlexV]

Remember Knightmare?

[Ginge]

Remember it??? I applied to go on it with a few friends coz we use to play Role Playing Games when we were younger (they still do...bloody big kids) but we were turned down coz we were too good....too much experience I think.

[AlexV]

Did anyone ever complete Knightmare?

[Ginge]

Yeah, I saw a team complete it a few months ago on Challenge TV.

 

All they got was a scroll to say they'd finished and a little trophy. Not really worth it IMO.

i applied for knightmare when i was younger with three mates, we got a letter of acceptance, thought we were the absolute boys, then a few weeks later got a ltter sayin they were not makin anymore after that series. summer of 1994 that was.

 

god was i gutted

 

only a handful of teams ever completed it...
