"In one taping, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist taught Elmo to exercise - jumping up and down. In another, Sen. Hillary Clinton and the small red monster discuss the various textures and tastes of foods."

I'll always be a fan of Big Bird....

Thank God I raised my kids when parents were actually considered intelligent enough to figure out all of this stuff themselves.

I can't believe this---but they still will have condoms at high schools and all the little ones will read "Heather has Two Mommies".

The world has gone friggin' nuts!

[Reactionary]

The liberal conception of the world is the most boring, idiotic construction ever devised.

Next thing you know, Bert will take up the gay rights cause and Ernie will be his b*tch.

[Tuba Guy]

LOL

There's even a new song - "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food," where Cookie Monster learns there are "anytime"

What the HELL, people!?!?

He's a Cookie Monster.

Not a Cookie Elf.
Not a Cookie Fairy.
Not a Cookie Pixie.

Let Cookie Monster be Cookie Monster, I say!

Next thing you know, Bert will take up the gay rights cause and Ernie will be his b*tch.

That would not surprise me. I'm sure it has been discussed but PBS can't afford to lose any more viewers. If the liberals win we likely will see gay muppets since they won't worry about having their federal funding pulled for it.

So are they gonna change his name?

Seedless Grape Monster?

Slim Fast Monster?

Granola Monster?

Asparagus Monster?

[TheBigB]

Muppets after dark.

Once he loses weight, I predict he'll come out of the closet and become...

Tolerance Monster

I heard Big Bird is downsizing to Medium Bird.

[Theresawithanh]

LOL! Good posts, both of you!

I'm surprised he still has "monster" in his name, self-esteem issues, you know.

[Charles Henrickson]

That your screen name, Bird-man?

[Charles Henrickson]

Sesame Lane?
Sesame Cul-de-sac?

[TheBigB]

[Charles Henrickson]

Count Calories?

Never forget:

[pkp1184]

Reminds me of "Snow Caucasian and the Seven Handicapable Little Persons"

Let's come up with our own politically incorrect Sesame Street characters...

Fat Bird
Oscar the B*tchy Malcontent
