LOS ANGELES – "SpongeBob SquarePants" might get squeezed off Time Warner Cable.

Media giant Viacom Inc. said its Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central and 16 other channels will go dark for 13 million subscribers at 12:01 a.m. Thursday if a new carriage fee deal with Time Warner Cable Inc. is not agreed upon by then.

The impasse would mean "SpongeBob" and other popular shows like Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" and Stephen Colbert's "The Colbert Report" will be cut off on the nation's second-largest cable operator.

You know what? Having an education beyond high school is a privilege where I come from. Its a sad state of affairs when I watch individuals with Ivory league educations, knit pick! Do you really think the sarcastic comments made to me about my grammer and spelling bothers me? Think again. people like you guys are one of the reasons there is no tolerance or respect for others. I never respect any one who is so shallow as to do that. Now, Let me tell you how much people like you remind me of the PEBO cult..The only difference between people like yourselves and the Ovomit cult is this..captalism. Other than that there is no difference. Now I must go have a panic attack! Oh God help me pleeeeeeze! I have mis spelled words and practiced horrible grammer! I hope I recover from this trauma! (shivers) The rest of you lot can kiss my (_|_)! If you are so mortified over my grammer and spelling, DON'T READ IT!

Do Gremlins count as animals?

I got a really good deal on them ~ buy 4 get 3 free. They are going to help us celebrate the New Year with champagne and appetizers.

I AM NOT A TROLL!

Strange. Usually people that have to scream that... well, you know.

Your elitism combined with emotional retardism is enough!

"Emotional retardism"? You used that at least twice that I noticed. I believe this is where "takes one to know one" might apply? What do you think?

In my experience, newbies don't usually bite. Usually, they are quite polite until they get the hang of things around here. Or they're trolls that flame out and disappear rather abruptly. Which are you?
