Yeah, I know, there are plenty of things to complain about. But, this is something I think we can all agree is just plain wrong. Sesame Street producers are putting the Cookie Monster on a diet.
No, Cookie Monster isn't being turned into a "Carrot-Stick Monster." But he will learn that, as one of the show's new nutrition-oriented songs puts it, "A cookie is a sometime food."
What’s next? Will they bring Oscar in off the street & put him in a homeless shelter? Perhaps Big Bird will be sent to an asylum over his imaginary friend (Mr. Snuffalufagus sp?– he is still imaginary, right?)
Sadly enough, Snuffy is just a common fat hairy elephant now. No more special status as a possible drug induced halucinatory fragment of Bird's over-medicated imagination.
