Controversy
“ | The disputed show allegedly contains violent scenes | „ |
~ John Laskaridis on Newspaper "Ethnos" |
Channel Nine airings (2007)
During airings of the series on Channel Nine, ESR (The National Council for Radio and Television) started thinking that the show has controversial scenes with violence and sex and that SpongeBob is transexual, as he passes most of the time with Patrick.[1]
Ellinofreneia (early series) Parody
During the run of the Ellinofreneia early TV series on the Greek channel SKAI, a talk of the Greek politician George Alogoskoufis was satirized with a actor's hands, holding a SpongeBob and Patrick plush. The actor was moving SpongeBob and Patrick, with a censored way.
Later, a child's mother did a report about the censored scene at the radio series of the same name, because her child was watching that. The radio series hoster tried to say that ESR has claimed that the series is for adults (as it has also claimed that it has violence and sexual references).
Banned from Nickelodeon Greece episodes
The episodes "Dumped," "Krab Borg," "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve," "Ghoul Fools" and others are now banned from Nickelodeon Greece, because ESR thinks that they have violence/sexual references and getting reports from parents. May those episodes had previously aired on Nickelodeon Greece (for example, "Ghoul Fouls" which was aired only in time of 10:00 PM).
