Who is the yellow cheese man?
Sunday, November 30th, 2008
How times change. Around 2001 (maybe 2002), while we were visiting Erie, a certain Mr. Spongebob Squarepants visited Millcreek Mall. We were strolling around the mall with our then 3-year old (maybe 4-year old) son. When he saw this ‘yellow thing’ he asked who the “big cheese man” was.
That was the extent of our exposure and knowledge as a family about Spongebob.
Oh come on…from a distance, not having any awareness of the character, he could look like a big yellow Swiss cheese. And that’s just as likely as a sponge!
Fast forward to 2008 and I understand Spongebob is visiting Millcreek Mall again, in early December. At least, so I am reliably informed by our 5-year old daughter who already has plans for the occasion. In the years in-between our family has been invaded by this yellow peril. Why? I don’t know. Anyone in their right mind can see that the character is pathetic. Patrick should have the lead role ![]()
