Sesame Street Losing The Plot??

redrasta	Date: April 20, 2005 @ 1:31 AM This article, though somewhat based in truth, has me almost on the floor laughing.... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43739
sween	Date: April 20, 2005 @ 7:57 AM this is so funny, but has a valid point!
imemine	Date: April 20, 2005 @ 9:54 AM I saw this on the news the other night. What a PC crock of crap!
Lachatte	Date: April 20, 2005 @ 10:08 AM The news that Cookie Monster is giving up his obsession with cookies and telling the kids that cookies are "sometimes" foods was mentioned on Good Morning America about a week ago. Charlie Gibson (the host) shook his head and then said "What next?... Oscar the Grouch signs up for anger management classes?"
zedsalt	Date: April 20, 2005 @ 12:59 PM I wonder if any hardcore heroin addicts blame Cookie Monster as a model for their behavior? Some of the folks I love most are a lot like Oscar- essentially good-hearted people who use an acerbic attitude as a defense mechanism. BTW, the first "sponsors" of Sesame Street were the letters W, S, and E and the numbers 2 and 3. just another bit of useless info I carry around.
AgentMGD	Date: April 21, 2005 @ 6:30 PM Cookie Monster without cookies?? shock and awe crying all this pc crap is ruining kids because of those coporate sponsorships and PBS "give me your money" drives why cannot they leave Sesame Street alone kiss
zedsalt	Date: April 22, 2005 @ 1:17 PM I have to worry that it may be like the situation with pathogens. I keep reading how antibacterial agents and antihistamines are creating more and more resiliant pathogens and allergies...all with stronger symptoms, and doing so in a much greater percentage of our youth. Might the same apply to addiction, bigotry, etc.? Maybe we should be "vaccinating" kids against these ills by letting the little tikes see them without necessarily experiencing them.
kingo	Date: April 22, 2005 @ 2:26 PM I wonder if anyone did a study trying to relate Sesame Street viewing in children with obesity. Because if they didn't do that and come up with something conclusive, this whole thing is gibberish. If they DID do that, then I say: good for them. The show's supposed to be educational, right? Although instead of doing this shit about "sometimes" foods, they probably should just have Oscar get fat and go blind. Maybe have an arm amputated. Have to get his blood sugar levels checked every episode. Go through cookie withdrawal. Shoot up a clinic. Turn to alcohol. Run over some kids in his car. That'd be better.

zedsalt	Date: April 23, 2005 @ 12:32 PM I'm babysitting my seven year old nephew right now (don't worry; he's nearby, playing in the sink). Rest assured, he will go home with a few new words in his vocabulary (like "defenestration"), and he'll know how to play Dylan's "Masters of War" and Lennon's "Working Class Hero". I believe in being an educational babysitter AND in making sure he goes home hopped up on sugar and caffeine (hopefully cutting down on the frequency of my babysitting duties...with the stimulants, I mean; my sister loves Dylan and Lennon).
zedsalt	Date: April 23, 2005 @ 12:33 PM Now that I think about it, maybe I'm not the person to give advice regarding childcare.
leplume	Date: April 23, 2005 @ 1:39 PM Well, at least you didn't get him smoking!
imemine	Date: April 23, 2005 @ 3:16 PM Or worse, cookies!
dkeifer	Date: April 24, 2005 @ 4:47 PM I've stolen a picnic basket every day of my life since I was eight years old. Figuratively speaking.
kingo	Date: April 24, 2005 @ 4:54 PM heheh. :yogi:
leplume	Date: April 24, 2005 @ 8:36 PM Maybe C shoudn't stand for Cookies! Maybe it should stand for something else. Maybe C should just have a goddam mind of it's own for a change!
imemine	Date: April 24, 2005 @ 8:54 PM Lookie there Booboo, Ima gonna get us a picanic basket. OooooYogi, the ranger isn’t gonna like that Yogi!
imemine	Date: April 24, 2005 @ 10:00 PM Me wonder if after Cookie change me diet to spinach and bean sprouts me learn queens English too? Me thinking me can’t teach kids to speak like me.

zedsalt	Date: April 25, 2005 @ 12:33 PM The Grand High Yogi Bhubhu is my spiritual adviser. Now, back to my mantra... Pic-a-nic baaaaas-ket Pic-a-nic baaaaas-ket...
AgentMGD	Date: April 26, 2005 @ 10:56 AM are they going to let Bert and Ernie file for a civil union? will Zoe and Elmo kiss? does Oscar the Grouch have high blood pressure from many years of yelling? will Gabby get pregnant and be Miles' baby mama? these and more today on Sesame Street kiss
zedsalt	Date: April 26, 2005 @ 12:49 PM I doubt B&E will come out of the closet anytime soon, because they're still at the separate-beds-on-TV stage that we heteros were at during the "I Love Lucy" era. Maybe they'll come out in an attempt to adopt a child? Zoe and Elmo are bound to kiss, but there will be no tongues involved, as they're glued to their lower jaws.
