Shouldn't this be Spongemonkeys? RickK 03:47, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Nope. 'Spongemonkey' comes from a mispronounciation of Spongmonkey. on the rathergood site, the song is referred to in the updates as 'The Spongmonkeys are trying to jump on the kittens bandwagon'. (the word 'spong', by the way, refers to a tradition on the message board b3ta (of which joel, owner of rathergood, is a member) of taking a picture and making it's eyes really large, usually with fezzes) Alreadyinuse 09:23, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)

wouldn't those lyrics be copywrited and not supposed to be on here? i never actually read the article i just saw the lyrics. SECProto 00:22, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Questionable line

"It is unclear whether the use of mutated rodent-like creatures with vaguely disturbing facial features will motivate consumers to order food products."

Should this really be in here? It sounds a lot like something one might find on BAJODN, but it doesn't feel very encyclopedic to me. Plus, that ad campaign has ended, and I don't believe it worked very well. --Aurochs

That line was replaced by "The commercials stopped airing in 2004 after much protest by many parents of teenagers." Could somebody please elaborate on this? I don't really think that there was anything objectionable about the commercials... What was the problem? I suppose I'll do some research on this.
Okay, some quick Googling seems to show that, while there are people who do hate the commercials and actively protested against them, this had little or nothing to do with being the parents of teenagers. I'm going to remove that part from the article. --Aurochs

Why do we need a link to a blog entry attacking it? Bloggers say a lot of shit, and Wikipedia would be absolutely unnavigable if we felt the need to link to every bluster. --24.17.178.228

Usually, you would be right. But in this instance, the blog entries show how the general public reacted, and help to explain why the ads were pulled. In this instance, I think they are appropriate and should stay. --Aurochs
