One of cartoon worlds most likeable affable and politest characters submerged in mystique glamour and panache and for a scurlious nobody like Barker to sully and denigrate his persona is nothing short of characature assination and she should get a life and hang her head in shame. There would be no bikini bottom without Bob and Patrick.

These stories are,as,old as the hills remember them when I was growing up, only difference is they were joked about and ignored, now we get upset and think its the end of civilisation as we know it. Its not the stories its the reactions that are the issue.
