C is For Cookie,
That's Now Only Sometimes Good For Me...
In a move akin to Ernie having to "put down the ducky", CTW (and quite possibly PBS, as they help fiannce the whole show) is featuring a new change on Sesame Street. Cookie Monster, the last bastion of rampant impulsive eating of...well, really anything when you look at it (ie., cookies, cookie containers, Gordon's car), is about to go on a diet.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/07/tv.cookie.lessmonster.ap/index.htmlI personally am at a loss for what to say. The last of my three favourite Sesame St. muppets have been violated in some way. First Grover (who got ousted by Elmo), then Ernie and now Cookie Monster.
Though I do like Scott Kurtz's take on the whole thing, as voiced by one of his strip's characters, Brent
: "Cookie Monster won't be singing 'C' is for cookie anymore. Now he's going to sing that cookies are a 'sometimes food'. I guess parents just can't be bothered to teach that lesson anymore. How about instead we have Big Bird sing that 'parenting isn't a sometimes job'?"Chest Stubble Status: only mildly itchy and irritating.
