How long has it been raining?
...Forever.
Thats the cookie monster to you!
Word/s.
"C" is for cookie, yes, but apparently, it is no longer good enough for our friend Cookie Monster.
Ops... forgot to read the stuff in the end.
They could have just given him fruit and vegetable cookies. If such things exist.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
What a crying shame.
Cookie Monster is a monster. The dude is supposed to be gorging on things that aren't good for him, it's in his very nature.
And seriously, what 5 year old is going to ask for a celery stick just because a blue puppet is eating one on screen? Especially when mama and papa are sitting there chowing down on some KFC.
Sesame Street education is useless when the parents allow for the opposite behavior.
My beloved Cookie Monster, they've taken you away from me.
Maybe I'm really weird, but I would. Seeing other people, my parents especially, getting fat (presumably) on KFC, or some other fast food restaurant, would make me want to do the opposite. I would be completely...disgusted. Being around people who eat really unhealthy, makes me want to eat really, really healthy, and work out. I've always been like this.
But honestly, I think this is a silly idea. Although if it does actually help, then full speed ahead!
What I found even more disturbing than the depressing fact that Cookie Monster is being forced on a cookie-light diet, is that Sesame Street is entering its 35th season. Jesus! You'd think most of the people on it would be dead by now...
Long live the cookies!
I guess it's for the best, but it's still just...weird.
Kikimm, I think you missed my point. I don't believe that by changing Cookie Monster's character, children all over America will start demanding apples and oranges over cookies and donuts.Maybe I'm really weird, but I would. Seeing other people, my parents especially, getting fat (presumably) on KFC, or some other fast food restaurant, would make me want to do the opposite. I would be completely...disgusted. Being around people who eat really unhealthy, makes me want to eat really, really healthy, and work out. I've always been like this.
Especially when so many parents refuse to educate their own children on the issues of having a healthy diet and instead plant their kids in front of the TV. And besides, there are dozens of other characters who they can use as a vehicle to promote healthy food choices. Cookie Monster is a classic character, it's unnecessary and silly to give him a makeover.
'Sometimes food' my ass.
Well, there is such a thing as a cookie with fruit baked into it instead of chocolate chips. Most of them are nasty tasteing, but they exist.
And does anyone else see the irony of changeing a TV character to promote healthy eating when TV itself is always going to cause its watchers to adopt an unhealthy lifestyle?
Besides..
Hes the COOKIE Monster. Not the Fruit And Nuts Monster. =(

Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?

To children, cookies symbolise heroin, with the cookie monster symbalising a junkie. Or maybe that was just me.
They should just make the Cookie Monster eat more and more cookies as he gradually gets fatter and fatter until he's an immobile blob. That's gotta do a better job of teaching kids to eat heathier than this fruits and veggies crap.
He doesn't even eat them. He just breaks them up in his mouth and they fall everywhere.

I heard a rumor that the show is also going to kill off a character in the next season.
(SPOILER)I might have the wrong show. Better go check....
