This interview was on CNN this morning…
Here is a 13 second clip from an interview that John Roberts of CNN did with director Kelly Nyks discussing his new documentary “Split: A Divided America“:
The film seems both timely and interesting, and takes a hard look at the state of politics and civil discourse in our country. This is an important film, and one worth seeing.
However, that isn’t the reason I am writing about this interview…
This post is actually about what’s playing during this interview on one of the monitors in the background. Take a close look over John Roberts’ head in this frame grab:
Playing in that monitor is Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob Squarepants – not exactly one of the the critical news sources I would have expected to see rolling in the CNN studio.
Should we be surprised?
Probaby not. Politics and comedy have blurred on shows like Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show – shows that may actually end up having an impact on the coming election.
Maybe something’s going on with SpongeBob we’re just not aware of yet…
