Spongebob...really?

So yeah, a news article came out the other day about how Spongebob is so evil, that it *gasp* affects kid's concentration right after watching it, because it's so fast paced. Do they really not have enough to do otherwise to be sitting around studying kids who watch it? Seems to me that there are so many more important things that could be studied. Maybe like why Caillou (which they compared Spongebob to) is so freakin whiny and is still on the air.

And frankly...for my kid...Spongebob CALMS him. Go figure! No, I don't let him watch tv all day long (most days...lol) but considering he's at school at 7am, and I don't pick him up til 5pm from afterschool care, that's a long day for a little guy. And if he can chill for a bit and space out to some Spongebob for abit while I fix dinner, all the better for it. I'm not asking him to take his SATs right after that. He's still a very active little boy who could play outside all day if it wasn't for pesky things like school getting in the way.

All that said...quit picking on Spongebob. Sure, he can be annoying, but for some blessed quiet time, I'll take it!
