what the fuck? really? Cookie Monster an Addict? Sociopathic Oscar? Insane Big Bird? Are these really the ideas we want to give to our children? Seriously, people, Sesame street is now for adults only, we must stop these bastard old episodes from corrupting our nations youth.

Edit: link is clip from first episode, couldn't find the article I read earlier today. Someone help me out.

Yeah, I mean, "I won't kill and eat you if you won't kill and eat me" is typically a ground rule for social groups.

You probably read it in the New York Times, which is where I read it.


Anyway, this is insane. Oh no! Bert and Ernie live in some ghetto basement! And Bert is too grouchy! Oh dear! Mustn't let the little ones see this. And Big Bird talking to an imaginary friend! Gosh, that will warp little kids minds!

Fuck that noise. Seriously, wtf?

Last night some one woke me up at 3 in the morning wearing a scary clown face and threatening me with a round of naked sit ups.

 If you read that whole article you would know that the entire piece is tongue-in-cheek up until the end, where the author shares his real feelings.
