What's next? Oscar the Grouch gets a job, moves into an appartment, and acts nice to people? Jeez... I thought they were going a little too far when the South African version of the show added a muppet with AIDS. I think she was sewn together with an infected needle, or something.
So bananas, apples, oranges and pears are also cookies?There's even a new song - "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food," where Cookie Monster learns there are "anytime" foods and "sometimes" foods.
Sesame Street is toying with my emotional stability. :/
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
I'm more concerned at the emotional state of this reporter. Seems like someone took this a little too personally.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
'Strength' is off the market.
It's nice idea, but somehow i always think that the cats pushing social reform can't see the forest for the trees.
Because, you know, Cookie Monster makes you fat. Full of calories, he is.
And don't even get me started on Barkley.

What are they going to call him? The Apple Monster???
What a stupid idea, why didn't they just change the way the kida thought about him, so it's like only cookie monster can eat cookies and kida can't as much or something?
finaly the war is nearing an end bwahahahaha ffgirl and i are depriving the cookie monster of his cookies!
Why couldn't they just keep him eating cookies and get the other characters to osticise him?
Huh? HUH?!
Paranoia is an Always Feeling.
I DO WHAT I WANT. YOU HAVE PROBLEM?
More on cookie monster
This is so weird... I was reading this thread and watching SNL when Amy Poeler cracked a joke on Weekend Update about Cookie Monsterlearning the difference between "always foods" and "sometimes foods" and then becoming Pilates Monster. It wasn't that good a joke (and that was an awfully long run-on sentence) but it did make me double take.
Banned... *Hangs head in shame.* That will teach me to step up on my soapbox.
Thank goodness I'm old enough to immortalize the REAL Cookie Monster in my head.
This amused the hell out of me. The only problem with it is that, even if a parent does their best to get their kids to appreciate healthy foods, they can't really compete with advertising. Every kids sees about 10,000 ads a year (not just on TV) for food products. If a parent had every meal every day with their kid, they'd still only have 1,000 opportunities to help their kid make good food choices, as opposed to Tony the Tiger and his minions. That doesn't seem very fair.
Still funny though. The way businesses market to children is evil. Yay for Cookie Monster!
Thank you, that made me happy.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
Maybe parents should limit their child's intake of TV then.Originally Posted by ShlupQuack
Yes I know not only television is responsible for the barrage of advertisements directed at children, however television is responsible for most of it. My point is, if parents would stop plopping their kids in front of the TV while hiding behind "educational purposes" when they're really using technology as a baby sitter, they wouldn't have to deal with the screaming fits about barbie, cookies, apple juice and all that mess.
It's always your choice to let your children view propaganda. You can't really blame the people who put it out there when you don't pay enough attention to your kids to KNOW what they're seeing, and more importantly, why they're seeing it.
Bring back cookie monster. ;_;
Signature by rubah. I think.
I swear, that is something you would see on "The Onion"!
