SpongeBob back on his perch Burger King worker foils would-be thieves; inflatable dolls being stolen across U.S.

Stabbed repeatedly and deflated, SpongeBob SquarePants’ body had been thrown off a local restaurant's roof and dragged toward Junction Creek.

The inflatable doll — 2.7 metres tall and 2.7 metres wide — used to sit on top of the Notre Dame Avenue Burger King. Now, the doll appears to be the first confirmed Canadian casualty in a series of SpongeBob kidnappings across North America.

So far, more than 50 SpongeBob kidnappings have been reported in the United States.

The dolls were propped up on Burger King rooftops across North America to promote the SpongeBob movie. As a result, 4,704 inflatable SpongeBobs weighing 22 kilograms each were ordered, said a Burger King spokesman.

Plankton is the arch-nemesis of SpongeBob's employer, Mr. Crabbs. He own's "The Chum Bucket" across from Crabbs' establishment.

Wow. Never realized how many people here were pro-Spongebob.

I must say that some of the responses to my post were kinda funny. Maybe I should change my name to "Amused Republican."

I attempted to watch an episode in an attempt to understand what all the hoopla was about. After five minutes, I HAD to turn it off. Made me miss the cartoons of my youth, which were SO much better.

Which episode turned you off? Gee, all the ones I've seen (and I've seen most) were hysterically funny and/or sweet and/or charmingly silly. Did you see the ep that satirized those training films that service indsutries like to use? That one was a scream. Or the one where it looked like Gary preferred Patrick to Spongebob? Or the ep where we meet Mermaid Man and Barnicle Boy? Those were great. But my favorite has to be the one where SB and Pat take up cursing, where the curse words are all bleeped with porpoise speech. That one was funny and sweet, with the boys being taught not to cuss.

Which is worse, SpongeBob or Barney? I won't even start with Pookaroo.
