My friends and I tried calling Stephen Hillenburg before... (from that same site) But all we got was a voice recording saying his office was closed, and they weren't going to be open until Tuesday...?
Thus, the Tuesday Lady was born. She's a freakish blonde with a twitchy eye, and she's always closed until Tuesday... LOL
I know I told this before earlier in the topic, but I'm going to say it anyway. So HA.

Here's the email I'm gonna send.
Dear Nickelodeon Studios/Spongebob associates, As a concerned fan of Spongebob Squarepants, and I have several concerns that me and other fans share and I would like to address to you. One concern is that the relationships between Spongebob, Squidward and Patrick seem to promote homosexuality. We all know Spongebob is not a homosexual or “gay” cartoon character, but the way he is when around Squidward or Patrick seems to equal this said behavior instead of what should be brotherly love. Example of this behavior include: Spongebob giving Squidward a kiss on occasion. (Can you Spare a Dime, and Dear Vikings) Spongebob telling Squidward he “loves” or “likes” him. (The Splinter, 2000 Krabby Patties Under the Sea, and Two Faces of Squidward) Patrick and Spongebob sleeping together in the same bed. (Rock a Bye Bivalve, and The Krusty Krushers) And the look of Spongebob’s face and eye expressions and some point when he’s with Squidward or Patrick. It’s pretty disturbing.
Spongebob has also shown to be more and more childlike as well as less mature. The plots are becoming very predictable. Every episode seems to involve Spongebob and Patrick making Squidward’s like miserable. The characters are becoming very one-dimensional. Mr. Krabs only likes money, Patrick is getting dumber, and Sandy is only interested in science. The characters are basically losing the qualities that made us like them from the beginning.
Spongebob’s change in his voice has also gotten many fans agitated. His voiced being higher pitched since the movie seems to make him sound gay as some fans would say.
Another issue regards Sandy Cheeks. She isn’t seen as much anymore. Sandy has only been in very few episodes (about seven) out of 30 in Season Six. She also doesn’t resemble the character she was in the first three Seasons of the show. She has become more interested in science than the sporty stuff like karate like she used to. It wouldn’t hurt to balance it out a little more.
You may also have noticed the large number of fan sites, fiction, and fan art relating to the pairing of Spongebob and Sandy. (Also known as “Spandy”) This pairing is particularly popular and is the subject of a great majority of fan fiction, art as well as a few videos on the YouTube website and a couple of forums. I am also such a fan. The fans did not actually create this fandom. In a book called, SpongeBob SquarePants Survival Guide, it specifically mentions that Spongebob has a secret crush on Sandy in the chapter on “How to Survive a Secret Crush.” We, the fans, feel that if you were to include this pairing more often, even in hints, (you have already in past episodes) you would be doing us a great service. You would make the show more enjoyable for all those who support this pairing, and both of us will benefit; us fans because we will see a show we can enjoy, and you from increased viewership. We also feel that it could help Spongebob get a better reputation as to not being gay.
There have also been points of not allowing to put romance in a kids show. But there have been several episode centered on romantic relationships. Such as: Mr. Krabs and Mrs. Puff, Plankton and Mr. Krabs’ mother, and both Squidward and Mr. Krabs develop a crush on Patrick’s female disguise Patricia. Plus, there have also been romantic relationships in other shows such as: Fairly Odd Parents, Danny Phantom, Back at the Barnyard etc…
Many fans would appreciate the addition of Spandy for it'll prove Spongebob's non-homosexuality. Plus many agree it’s a cute couple. You may think a sponge and a squirrel together might be odd but in the show there have been several multi-specie couples. Plus you have already gave out Spandy hints in past episodes of Spongebob Squarepants. Especially in the first few seasons, books and some games. There have also been rumors of Spongebob and Sandy getting married. The source of this is in a upcoming book called “Good Times” as well as a new episode coming out this fall. We’ve been told it’s about when Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs are locked in Krusty Krab freezer and are reminiscing past memories. Fans are curious to know if this is true or not.
In short, I believe that the show would be greatly improved by addressing the basic points that I addressed in this letter; Spongebob being portrayed as a “gay” character, seeing less of Sandy Cheeks, an essential character, and the lack of romantic relationships that are clearly presented earlier in the series. The heart of the series are not the animators or the scriptwriters; it is the fans. We are the ones who you create these works for, and our voice is important in the future course of the series. Therefore, I hope that you will examine what I have said here, and that you will take them into account and hopefully make the improvements necessary to return to series to its greatness.
Sincerely, “Ukulady.” Spongebob and Spandy fan.

*wipes away tear* That... Was beautiful. Well done, and well said. Hopefully they'll answer... FOR ONCE... *glares at them*
ONE TYPO: Squidward’s like miserable. Change 'like' to 'life'
That is all...
