So the big news is: there is a rash of abductions of SpongeBob Squarepants balloons, complete with ransom demands all over the country. Then this pops up It all seems really cute, maybe too cute, like maybe it has been a big stunt perpetuated, nay, maybe even created by Pepsico as a stunt to rack up some free publicity. Remember New Coke it was big news, too.
Then again, maybe tinfoil hat technolgy is starting to fail me or maybe that cell phone tower is really too close to my house. :eek:
That whole article reads like a joke…
Wasn’t me. Promise.
Would be neat having one of those things on my roof.
But it wasn’t me. 
They’ve had a sense of humor ever since they realized that at 16,000 bucks a piece, each missing SpongeBob has generated about 100 million in advertising.
My guess is that the SBSPs were stolen and a clever marketing department at BK turned into a oppurtunity.
It might read like a joke…but the contact #'s not a 555 exchange.
Me, if I had personal knowledge of the where abouts of their $16K inflatable Sponge Bobs - I’d hold out for something better than a year’s supply of Whoppers…perhaps a lifetime supply of Crabby Patties
There was a suspected abduction here in Connecticut. Turns out Spongebob melted into the air ducts and was cleaned up by the maintenance crew.
What a way to go.
