Christian Taliban kooks vs. Spongebob |

"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"
If the answer to this question automatically rings in your head, you or
your child must be a fan of Nickelodeon's million dollar man, SpongeBob
SquarePants.
This "super-absorbant" star headlines a quirky, off the wall cartoon
comedy which has acquired a cult following among teenagers and children
in America, and fans of the thirty minute cable show will no doubt be
eager to attend SpongeBob's big screen debut.
As the story begins, SpongeBob is excited as his boss, Mr. Krabs, owner
of The Krusty Krab restaurant, is choosing a new manager for the place
which specializes in burgers called Krabby Patties.
The Krabby Patty recipe is a closely guarded secret, much to the
chagrin of Plankton, owner of The Chum Bucket, a competing restaurant
which is failing without the benefit of a top-selling sandwich.
While Plankton masterminds his latest plan in a seemingly endless
series of foiled schemes to steal the Krabby Patty recipe, SpongeBob
prepares for the promotion he feels certain to receive from Mr. Krabs.
Unfortunately, SpongeBob's hopes are dashed when the title is given to
Squidward, his melancholy co-worker. When SpongeBob confronts Mr. Krabs
about why he was not the one chosen, Krabs informs his crestfallen
employee that he needed a man to handle the task, and SpongeBob is too
childish. Insulted, SpongeBob is determined to prove to his boss that
he is every bit a man.
The opportunity comes swiftly, as Plankton hits the scene. He has
stolen cantankerous King Neptune's precious crown and framed Mr. Krabs
in the heist. Outraged, the king uses his scepter to freeze Krabs into
an ice sculpture, promising to roast him to death unless proof is shown
that Krabbs was not the real culprit.
Seizing this moment to show his boss how capable he really is,
SpongeBob bravely announces that he will travel to the infamously
dangerous Shell City to find the crown and return it within six days
and save his employer's life.
With his lovably oafish starfish pal, Patrick in tow and King Neptune's
mermaid daughter, Mindy pleading their case before her father,
SpongeBob is about to begin the biggest adventure of his life.
Parental warnings are nearly inexhaustible in considering this film.
Please do not be deceived by the light-hearted, cute trailers for this
cartoon and take your kids to see it assuming it will be clean,
innocent fun. Many parents would not find this material suitable
viewing for children.
There is nudity throughout the movie. We view Patrick's bare buttocks
during three scenes, and SpongeBob's once. At one point, Patrick
surprises SpongeBob at a community gathering by swinging over the
crowd, naked, holding a sign between his buttocks which bears a message
to his friend. SpongeBob and Patrick are also shown in their underwear
a few times. The underwear is drawn to look like men's fitted briefs.
These characters are not real, and are not even human, so many may
choose to gloss over the animated nude scenes, though it sends a wrong
message to children that it's okay to pull down one's pants for a
laugh.
If the writers of this production are so lacking in talent that this
base attempt at humor was the best they could come up with, one might
suggest that they give up trying.
Sexual innuendo is present, as Patrick is enamored with Mindy and
flirts with her constantly, telling her she's "hot" and asking her at
one point if she wants to see his underwear. Will there be little boys
on school playgrounds getting charged with sexual harassment after
mimicking this sort of behavior coming from their lovable cartoon
friend?
Patrick also displays sexual perversion in the final scene, when he
attends a rock concert wearing fishnet stockings and women's black
leather boots.
David Hasselhoff makes an embarrassing cameo in swim trunks, during
which his chest is computer-manipulated so that his pectoral muscles
flex unnaturally, even forming a square shape, and then he places
SpongeBob and Patrick on his chest and uses his muscles like a wedge to
propel them back down into the sea. It is a grotesque scene.
Violence and frightening images are in no short supply. SpongeBob and
Patrick are confronted by monsters and dark, scary places filled with
piles of skeletons. They are chased by bizarre creatures trying to eat
them. Small children could be terrified by these scenes.
There are many scenes of fighting, threatening, execution orders, and
countless times characters are wounded.
Another disturbing event takes place when SpongeBob and Patrick are
plucked from the sea by an ominous human diver hunting for treasures to
sell in his gift shop on the shore. The two are placed under a heat
lamp so that they will die and dry out. Eventually, they are moistened
and revived, but a long scene ensues wherein the two are dying and
writhing in pain. One of SpongeBob's arms snaps off. Sensitive children
would be horrified.
After losing his promotion, SpongeBob accompanies Patrick to an ice
cream shop, where they sit in a secluded corner which is illustrated to
look like a bar which would serve alcohol. However, rather than liquor,
they consume endless quantities of ice cream sundaes. The two behave as
though they are intoxicated, slurring, stumbling, singing and dancing.
They wake up the next morning terribly hung-over.
The film concludes with a rock concert atmosphere, during which
SpongeBob dons a wizard's hat and cape and swoops over a crowd. Hard
rock blares while Patrick (wearing the fishnets and boots) makes
satanic symbols with his hands.
The script contains a plethora of name calling, one religious
exclamation, and the phrase "jack ***" is said once, in a whisper.
The entertainment factor was very low. The primary humor was of the
potty-ilk and received only a sprinkling of chuckles from the audience
in a nearly full auditorium.

Rational persons must be in very short supply in the US of A, then. Why
else do these nutters have so much 'intellectual' currency, power and
influence - and how can they be stopped?

Apparently CAP thinks that any threat of anything at all is bad.
Apparently they think plots are a plot against god.
I would have to wonder just what they would think was a movie without
any bad things. A 30 second commercial for their church?

Gods, it is bloody amazing that some human being could actually
object to this movie. Any bet the author believes his paper idol,
the Bible, is okay for children to hear red to them? The Bible is,
much, MUCH worse.

The occultists who come up with this stuff are the same cultists that
think it's okay to get drunk and rape your kids until they're pregnant,
then claim _they_ raped _him_.
