It is hard to imagine a more grotesque children’s cartoon character than SpongeBob SquarePants: a buck toothed idiot man child incarnated into a cube of gasping, asexual jelly. That such a surreal horror could become an icon of cuteness just defines everything I love about the pop culture age we live in.
I mean, look at this SpongeBob Speaker Dock: it is the top of SpongeBob’s skull, lopped off with a butcher’s knife. The brain pan is hollowed: an iPod is inserted. The horrible, alien eyeballs of this subaqueous horror have been wrenched out of their sockets, and against all sense or sanity, function as speakers. It costs $40. And your kid wants one.
Hell, so do I. This is the iPod dock my complete Tiny Tim collection has been waiting for.

lets not forget that the eyeballs twitch and spasm in time with the music
I’d buy it if I didn’t also have to get a home safe to lock it in every night.
It’s cool; even though, I am not a Spongebob fan.
