I had no idea my mention of that one purple dinosaur would cause such an uproar. Don’t get me wrong – I hate Barney.
But I despise Spongebob.
At least Barney has some educational value if you can get past all those those annoying kids who dance around him as if injected with eternal perkiness.
But Spongebob? HE IS A SPONGE UNDER THE SEA. He has a stupid sense of humor and I hate stupid humor. Unless it is my own, of course.

Jamie and I recently watched the YouTube performance of Paul Potts that was featured on Oprah. If you have never seen it, watch. This may be the one and only time I ever post anything from YouTube again.
His story brings tears to my eyes as this frumpy, awkward, shy man is transformed the moment he opened his mouth into a frumpy, awkward, shy man who could sing.
Brilliantly.
Afterwards, Jamie and I discussed his performance and appearance.
Amber: I mean, Paul Potts. I don’t think there could be a more average, stodgy name out there!
Jamie: Yeah, he’s no Rick Savage.
[Long pause]
Amber: Who is Rick Savage?
Jamie: I don’t know. It just seemed like a cool name to throw out there.
And they think women are confusing.
