Agreed, but the internet as a whole is changing. People don't want to be exposed to smut and filth, which is where I spend the majority of my personal time for the record, when they're browsing the web. These people make it difficult for everyone because we have to tailor to the lowest common denominator sort of speak. If your intent is to run a successful public forum, or public anything for that matter, you really have to police things up these days. Or you get to watch sponsors pull funding.

Editing on the fly is BS. Sorry for not clarifying.

There is a study that says children who watch Sponge Bob are literally dumber then kids that don't. Dylan (5) loves some Tom and Jerry though. I'll take good old senseless violence over stuff like Sponge Bob any day.

Can't fault NICO for this, but the bolded section is my biggest problem with the world currently. If people can't handle some bad words or mild nudity here and there, they shouldn't be outside. Or on the internet. Or anything. We should just keep them in a vegetative state and harness their bodily energy like batteries. Seriously, most people in the world need to get the sand out of their vag and not worry so much about what anyone else is doing. Don't like profanity? Don't use it. Don't like pornography? Don't watch it. And it would make me even happier if sponsors/advertisers pushed that belief. Don't pull funding because 2% of the population doesn't like something. Eff that 2%. Honestly, I've never seen an advertisement that made me want to buy something, but if a company came out in an ad and stated their support for a company/website/individual who did something slightly-vulgar I'd go out and buy their items instantly. Just to financially voice my approval of them for not caving to the cry-babies.

Going along with my post just above this, you should totally ban that from your house. I heard somewhere that Tom and Jerry will turn your children into serial killers. In fact, we should totally ban that from television. No one should ever be able to watch it again.

I remember hearing the same thing, but I've never seen the studies. I'd like to read them as well. I'd love to see how/if they account for those parents who use Spongebob as a stand-in parent because they're too lazy to take care of their child.

Link to an article about the research. It's not the best science. They used 4 year olds and measured the immediate after effects on attention after watching a measured amount of time of spongebob and another, slower paced, show.

If your kids don't understand things like that, you're a failure as a parent. Also, if the kid wonders out in front of a semi because he thinks he'll be fine, I consider that culling the herd and cleaning the gene pool.

it's only socially acceptable to make those kinds of remarks if you're standing on a stage with a mic. that being said, let's take learned'd on the road guised as a comedy troupe. i bet our regular conversations would pack stadiums.

You're probably on to something. Not to mention that almost every show would be different.
We'd better ear-mark a line item in the budget for a pallet of Coors light for each region of the country that we visit.

We can bring your dog so he can drink beer with us. And then pee a lot and pass out on stage.

Come to think of it, his behavior may mirror ours.

This is a man with good taste (not literally of course). Cartoons from the 40s were the greatest. But Spongebob is also entertaining, the early ones atleast, ... and thats about it. Most all other cartoons and Nickelodeon shows suck.

Hopefully there wont be a Tito with a sword in the cave
