Sesame Street Sells Out!

I caught this nonsense on the news this morning. Apparently, due to outside pressure the producers of Sesame Street are changing the image of the Cookie Monster so that he promotes a healthier lifestyle. I'm sorry but if a fat blue ball of yarn is what is influencing the obesity of America's youth we have a far bigger problem. Rather than laying blame on TV, how about some of these parents stop eating pork rinds as a snack and get off the fucking couch and do something active with their children.

And Sesame Street, what are you thinking! What's next, anger management classes for Oscar the Grouch. Why not do something worthwhile like a marriage ceremony between Ernie and Bert. Come who do you think your kidding anyway.

As usual, pointed pop culture criticism! Here is a ABCnews story in regards to Sesame's feelings about the world's most questionable co-habitators. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/WolfFiles/story?id=430945&page=1

Thanks for the laugh.

And don't forget the obsessive-compulsive Count and his need to number everything.

The Pilates Monster made me giggle, too. This is ridiculous though. I swear if Oscar the Grouch starts saying "Have a nice day" I'm throwing my television out the window.
