With June being the school holiday season, it's inevitable for some cartoon characters to come acalling "in person". This time round, it's the mouldy looking square of a sponge -- SpongeBob SquarePants.

He's dominating the airwaves left right centre, and I cannot understand what children see in him. It's disgusting. He looks infectious with the supposed pores, and his voice is irritating. I watched 10 minutes of one episode and couldn't continue. What amazes me is that according to Wikipedia, Mr Yellow Piece is also a favourite of adults, people of around my generation. Uck.

Cartoons in my days were simpler. We had no talking sponge. It was Carebears, Smurfs, My Little Pony... Jess said that she can make herself sit through an entire episode of Tele-tubbies but not SpongeBob SquarePants. And I, who like The Power Puff Girls, could not too. I really do not get it.
