It's one thing to dislike SpongeBob. But to compare a fictional character, even in jest, to Adolf Hitler, one of the most evil real-life people in history whose policies of genocide and combat are responsible for the deaths of millions upon millions of actual people, is not only a silly comparison, but also tasteless and insensitive beyond measure, as well as an extreme example of the tendency to compare something someone disagrees with and/or dislikes to Hitler when the comparison doesn't really fit and the sole purpose of the invocation is to vilify said thing by comparing it to someone as villainous as HItler (see Reductio ad Hitlerum and Godwin's law). SpongeBob has not "oppressed the world of cartoons." If anything, SpongeBob's success has arguably led to the creation of competing shows (including Phineas and Ferb) in an attempt to compete with- and possible take over- its success. No one is forcing anyone to watch SpongeBob, and there are no consequences if you choose not to- whereas the consequences for disobeying Hitler were often deadly. I hate to bring up such a disturbing subject on a website devoted to a children's television show, but since it already has been, I do so only to show why doing such should not have been done in the first place.
