I can't believe it. I heard on the radio this morning that Sesame Street's beloved Cookie Monster was being forced to clean up his act. The producers believe that they are changing with the times by getting Cookie Monster to start eating healthier. That sucks. Apparently this is their response to the increase in child obesity. So now, rather than him singing that great line: "C" is for "Cookie," that's good enough for me, he'll be singing something to the tune of: "C" is for "Cookies," which are a "sometimes" food. How Awful.
I think that if I happen to hear the new rendition of the song, I might have to shed a tear.
So Cookie Monster will be seen eating fewer cookies and more fruits and vegetables--a move that I think defeats the whole purpose of his name and character, and furthermore, I think it undermines his entire image and popularity rating. I bet some other muppet paid off someone high up there to put this scheme into motion, hoping to bring down Cookie Monster, thereby creating an opportunity for him to be noticed. Possibly someone like Forgetful Jones or Sherlock Hemlock...suddenly they're not so cute and cuddly anymore are they? Well that's what we get when they start eating VEGETABLES! *sigh*
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Whatever happened to the good ol' days?

What's next? WHAT'S NEXT?!?!?!?
Oh boo... I shed a tear for the new Cookie Monster too. Listen, when I make my way back to NYC in a few weeks, I will march right into their office (remember my friend who works there, HE can tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street) and tell them they've completely fallen in corruption. And that they might as well create a character called Kristine Sa Porn Monster!
... the connection? my train of thought? how i got there? who knows. but it's funny, right?
