Yahoo! Photos, Nick Movies and Paramount Pictures searched the nation to find the one and only double for SpongeBob SquarePants. They received entries from men and women of all ages and while the winner does not live in a pineapple under the sea, Shane Phillips, 27, of Memphis, Tennessee is equally fun loving and mischievous. Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants and photo judge, said he enjoyed the creative entries:
�Wow, I never imagined that there are so many people in the world who looked like me, or that is Spongebob Squarepants. The best photos came down to people finding ways to convey that hyperactive, innocent, yet squishy and fun-loving personality of Spongebob through their suave smiles and animated poses.�
Phillips will meet SpongeBob SquarePants in person at the movie premiere in Los Angeles on November 14th and the movie opens in theaters nationwide on November 19th. To see the winning picture, go to photos-dot-yahoo-dot-com.
