SpongeBob Gets Sponged! By James Reed

All of us seniors who are fans of sponge baths, will be dismayed to learn that the cartoon character SpongeBob, got banned in one episode for getting a little too close to the truth. We would not want the kiddies, or us seniors, who are subjected to complete Brave New World brainwashing, to think and ponder, if only for an instant. Their role is to become passive, obedient consumers, in lockdown. Our role is to die!

“An episode of SpongeBob SquarePants that involves a "clam flu" virus has been pulled from Nickelodeon due to "sensitivities" with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, EW has confirmed. 

The episode, "Kwarantined Crab," hails from the kids cartoon's 12th season and sees a health inspector quarantining the patrons of the Krusty Krab restaurant after discovering a case of clam flu. Anyone assumed to have the virus is shunned and thrown in a refrigerator. 

"The 'Kwarantined Crab' centers on a virus storyline, so we have decided to not air it due to sensitivities surrounding the global, real-world pandemic," a spokesperson for Nickelodeon told EW. The episode can also no longer be found on Amazon and the Paramount+ streaming platform. 

Reps for Paramount+ and Amazon did not immediately respond to EW's requests for comment. 

Nickelodeon also confirmed that a second episode had been quietly removed since 2018, "Mid-Life Crustacean" from season 3. 

The 11-minute installment sees Mr. Krab having a mid-life crisis and going on a nighttime romp with SpongeBob and Patrick. That involves breaking into a woman's home and stealing her underwear. The episode is not available on Paramount+ and Amazon, and hasn't aired on Nickelodeon in the past four years.”

Gasp! Censor the lot! Lock then all in the fridge!
