Girl In Spongebob Costume Hit

A GIRL of 14 was punched in the face as she worked as a carwash mascot inside a SpongeBob SquarePants costume.

The teenager was dressed as a giant sponge when she was hit three times by a stranger as she waved to passers-by.​

It was only her first day in the job she had taken to boost her pocket money.​

The girl, who did not want to be named, said: "I was standing there and someone came up and hit me three times. It really hurt.​

"I think he got a shock when I said something and he realised I was a girl. I ran back to the garage crying. Why would anyone do something so cruel? I won't be doing it again. I'm too scared."​

The girl's father added: "She was very upset and shaken by the whole ordeal. I'm horrified."​

Kevin Johnson, 24, who works at the garage - Crystal Cars, in Wakefield, West Yorks - said: "What a horrible thing to do to someone just doing their job."​

Yesterday police said a 31-year-old man from Lincoln has been charged with motoring offences and common assault over last Saturday's incident.

This is what I hate about america. You're just in the costume doing your job and then because some guy thinks he's gay or you look gay or something decides to go up a bust you a minus. Least he got caught. A classic trick is to put a piece of paper on their backs such as this fine example.
