Do you seriously follow Nickelodeon on Twitter dude
---

a human being has died and the first thing that pops into your head is "LOL You Actually Follow nickelodeon? Weak!"

grow up!
---

Rest in peace, and thank you.
---

Damn, when it rains it pours : ( another icon gone today.
---

I remember hearing before that he had ALS.
---

what sucks is i feel like the news today will just either forget about his passing or have a slight mention of it that lasts a few seconds

He's not really someone that CNN Or MSNBC will do a whole segment about(or any news program for that matter)

Are you seriously asking that like you're surprised?

Boo hoo hoo. A lesser-known celebrity, who you've never met and who never knew you existed, died. It sucks that he's dead -- and it sucks even more that he had ALS in the first place -- but it's not the tragedy you're trying to pretend it is in a lame cover against a criticism.

Grow up!

And, he was not involved with Spongebob in any way ever since the first movie, with the exception of the second one. And he was not involved in the upcoming Rocko's Modern Life TV movie.

Zeus Ladies And Gentlemen....only he would step into a topic about the passing of spongebob creator stephen hillenburg and post this message

just look at that everyone and ask yourself what kind of person would just brush off a persons death calling them A Low-Level Celebrity that you never met and never knee of your existence died so it shouldn't be that sad or really worth talking about because most of us didn't know him and he didn't know us

so why even talk about this? according to zeus

Would you mind pointing out where you see that or are you just being you?

wow, what an asshole, ok?

this isn't a topic where you can just vent out on me and troll me a living breathing person died and certain people like zeus just gotta come in here acting like it's no big deal or it's not worth talking about because none of us knew him

or it could be smoky just trying to derail the topic by laughing at the fact that i potentially follow nickelodeon on twitter(despite the fact if someone you followed retweeted this You'd be seeing it anyways)

this topic isn't about me it's about the passing of hillenburg and celebrating what he brought to this world with spongebob

and if all you wanna do is derail the whole conversation by trolling me then that says more about you than me

Why're you getting so upset? It's like they made all the TV you watch all day!
---

So I'm gonna take that as a yes

Atleast you have the soon to be released gtav on pc to look forward to
---

RIP

Spongebob was a cartoon like no other
---

That sucks. A year and a half is pretty fast progression for ALS. At least he didn't end up suffering for decades, I guess. RIP.

spongebob fuckin blows

sad for him and his fam, tho.
---

In this topic adults make fun of somebody for giving a shit about somebody dying.
Stay classy PotD.

:( My brother and I quote spongebob all the time. We have a chat that's just communication through spongebob memes. I haven't cared for the last few seasons but that really sucks. He was a pretty creative guy.
---

ALS that sucks!

I loved his work. RIP!!

Off topic: does anyone know how Shyla Styles died? She was only 31. I've been waiting for a year to find out why. That's to young to just be found dead in your bed.
---

Sad to hear.

Shame people here are more concerned about making others upset then a person dying.

Yeah sure, people die everyday. But those people probably didn't make up someone's childhood.
---

Seasons 1-3 of Spongebob are fantastic. I liked the show a lot as a child but appreciate it even more now that I'm older. Unfortunately the later seasons went downhill at a 90 degree angle, but that doesn't take away my enjoyment of the earlier episodes. RIP Stephen Hillenburg.

Okay, if you care so much about people dying, why aren't posting a dozen obituaries a day? Oh? You mean you DON'T think that a person dying is actually a big deal and you're just making a big deal to cover up the fact you follow Nickelodeon?

I dont think hes doing it to cover up the fact that he follows Nick. I mean, people just push follow on all kinds of stuff on Twitter. Who hes following shouldnt really matter. I dont even know why people care. In the end, a person did die. And he created a big show. I dont see whats wrong with posting this and why some people are being kinda mean about it...
---

Zeus is being extremely immature here.
---

It's incredible how so often someone's death manages to bring out the worst in people here.

If you can't just pay your respects to the dead or reminisce about their work in topics like this and instead choose to take such an opportunity to ridicule people, you've got some problems.
---

I didn't watch the show. But I know a lot of people grew up watching Sponge Bob.

Holy shit this, nobody here has any respect for the dead and just want to shit on somebody because he occasionally posts stupid shit.

Right now all you people doing this are more pathetic and childish than than the person you're ridiculing.

seriously what do they get out of acting like this?

I can see shitting on somebody if they deserve it, though I tend not to.

But nothing in this topic is deserving of any hate. we all grew up with spongebob and most of us(such as myself) consider it, or the earlier seasons to be awesome television. Hillenburg wasn't just some random dude. If Matt Groening died a lot of us would care, same deal here.

who really cares if he follows nickelodeon? a lot of people on here watch cartoon network, would it be a crime to follow them on twitter?

for whatever reason some of these people have this idea that if you are an adult you should be barred from watching cartoons

which is funny coming from a website that's frequently visited by gamers(remember when games were considered merely children's toys and adults who liked them would be shunned for it?)
---

i dont think these people actually think that, its just its you, so they're taking any excuse to talk shit.

Ya'll could wait until you get an actual, legit reason to talk crap on somebody. lord knows there is no shortage of that around here.

well that's their excuse usually that I'm a grown man and watching nickelodeon or cartoon network is just shameful for someone my age

No, that's not it and I think you know that's not it. It's that you take zero responsibility for your own life and are obsessed with living your life as a child and then become outraged when the rest of the world does share your same warped point of view and opinions and then refuse to acknowledge anything else outside of your bubble when it's waved right in your face. It's not liking cartoons.

Oh, and it's also that you exaggerate and sometimes outright lie so you can be a victim.

That's actually not true.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but the responses you got itt is because of you, and your posting habits. If someone else were to make this topic, the responses would be different
