So, not only have they made Cookie Monster go cold turkey because they think it's him that's making the little Yanklings fat, rather than the omnipresence of MuckDonald's, but I found out yesterday that the cascist funts that now run Sesame Street have gotten rid of that bit where the Count von Count (the Street's finest resident, bar none) would laugh maniacally as thunder rumbled and lightning flashed behind him, because it might frighten children.
Never mind that he's been doing it for thirty years without any significant negative impact on the world's youth.
ARGH!
i know you revel in moral outrage, but you should stick to happy thoughts on your birthday, mr. k
ReplyDeleteYeah, this pretty much sums up why I'm not as disappointed as I should be that my kids don't watch Sesame Street.
ReplyDeleteThunder and lightning? Horrors! That's certainly more frightening than a freakin' vampire, a trash monster, a Snuffleupagus, or puppets that have freakishly large eyes!
