A viral Facebook post claimed that the address found on Nickelodeon cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants’ driver license is the same address as a building on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, citing this as evidence that “all of these cartoons are tainted by pedophiles. our kids are not safe.”

Jeffrey Epstein owned Little Saint James, an island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, before his death last year. It is alleged that many of the sex crimes Epstein committed took place on the island, leading the FBI to search the island after Epstein’s death.

    You know what I hate articles like this? After reading it I'm now tempted to go create a fake business address online so I can see it on google maps.

    I can resist anything but temptation. Thanks Alec, for a new temptation.

    The most frustrating thing about this is that if someone doesn't know much about how the system works, they could easily "confirm" it for themselves. We're rapidly approaching a point where we need a fact checker for literally every facet of our lives.

    My life, thank god, is such that most of the time I’ve never heard of the thing Alec is fact checking until I read the Dispatch fact check. WTF this one.

      If you had a young child during the first few years of SpongeBob's existence, you had to learn to love the show, or at least tolerate it. Just one of those little sacrifices/compromises parents have to make. I actually came to find it good fun once I got over the weirdness.

    If you are typing out comments on this story and then deleting them because they are offensive, you aren't alone. Just saying.
