My guess is because it's funnier to make a bigger deal out of something as inconsequential as a cartoon being popular than it is a heavy political issue beyond the control of the average citizen.
Bleak reflection on current events is sad.

I'm hoping that by the time I get to my mid-30s, my teacher immune system will have gone Super Saiyan from constant exposure.I took a noticeable hit to my metabolism around 34-36, when the problems with teeth started, together with getting fatter, and getting sick more often than for the previous ten or twelve years.HOLEE CARP this is so accurate, it's scary.
... hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-huh.
Hhhhhhhhhhhhh-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
... good luck with that.

How could anyone dislike Spongebob? Who are you, Ultros?
"Mweheheh! Don't tease the octopus, kids!"
In seriousness I've never cared for the show. Mostly probably due to overexposure, my dad loves it, combined with just not getting the appeal. It isn't funny to me, it's annoying.
Also I lack the means to actually leave the country on a permanent basis otherwise I probably would at least consider it.
Man, the amount of times I've been tempted to just up and move to Hawaii.
Wait...

I think older Spongebob was okay. Had some clever moments. But it wore out fast. I don't know how it's still going.

My GI thinks that the sleeping and anti-anxiety pills I've been taking have been making me too relaxed. Specifically, the intestinal muscles responsible for moving my bowels along.

Look, you'll just get more sick like that!
1) having known you were a couple and thinking this was not news (under the impression that it was widely known here), it was, with clear intent, a reference to the fact that Freehold had just called you Ultros (though I didn’t know the name thing - cool!); sorry if that wasn’t public - my bad (also, and once again, congratulations! )
2) no, I was just thinking of you giving her a hug and/or maybe a blanket or something; you guys are sick, SICK (*coughs repeatedly, has mild fever*; so am I, though, so... fair)
3) that little girl in the second picture was adorable enough that I felt compelled to share it, even though I couldn’t find the actual “octopus dress” image I was looking for - the one I wanted basically looks like just a really big pink octopus - albeit flat - somehow managing to cover a woman, which probably would be much less confusing about this whole thing

Monopoly has that effect too"You're cheating!"
"Am not!"
"MS. SCINT. LOOK UP THE UNO RULES!"
"We really should've looked up the rules before playing."
"NO."I belong to the "Conan-the-Barbarian-meets-Gordon-Gekko" school of Monopoly strategy.
As a consequence, my entire family will no longer play with me.I've always hated Monopoly.
Risk was my board game of choice as a kid, after awhile no one would play with me.
uno may be where friendships go to die, but risk makes enemies for life. Only Catan is worse for that.

Yep. Today's a complete joke. I've completely given up on even taking hall passes seriously - I've written two with "world domination" as the reason on them. No one's said anything.
Back when I was a tutor at the high school tutoring center, the head tutor told us to just write our own hall passes and he'd sign them. Mine typically said things like, "NobodysHome has permission to roam the halls at random for an indefinite period, running and screaming as he sees fit, setting fires, destroying property, and otherwise fomenting anarchy."
He'd always sign them.
And only once did a teacher ever actually read it, and of course it was the biggest stick-up-your-butt teacher in the entire school (also infamous for her skin-tight, zip-up-the-back polyester pants she wore every day), and she got very upset and the head tutor had to apologize. Once she was gone, he admitted that it was pretty darned funny.
She's also the teacher who gave my friend detention after he had graduated.
He was dropping by the tutoring center to take care of some paperwork, she pounced out of her classroom (during her off period she'd sit there like a trapdoor spider and pounce on unsuspecting students) and demanded his hall pass, he admitted he didn't have one, and so she gave him detention. He dutifully went down to the detention center and sat down. The vice principal, recognizing him, said, "What the heck are YOU doing here?!?!? You graduated!"
"Ms. xxx gave me detention."
"Get the heck out of here!"

We have both. The written passes are "Sorry Little Susy was late to history. I was making her finish a test" things. I've also got some woodcut owls for actual "Can I go to the bathroom during class?" pass needs. The paper passes are not intended to be returned to the classroom.

I was surprised because she hates sci-fi.
I was even more surprised when she said how much she liked it, because she hates anything sad (she says life has enough misery on its own, she doesn't need it from her entertainment).
Turns out she DID NOT GET that everyone died. She thought that the big blast of light at the end with Jyn and Cassian on the beach was just a fancy editing transition and they lived happily ever after.
