BIG BIRD IS FOR ADULTS ONLY….THEY’VE GONE TO FAR BUNKIE

Jim Taricani

Oh no! Sesame street’s earliest episodes, you know, the ones millions of kids grew up on, have been deemed ADULT ONLY!  This make believe wonderland of colorful characters is now right up there with pornography and Britney Spears! What is going on with this politically correct crowd that makes decisions like this one?
The producers of Sesame street have decided-now hold on to your seat-that a scene called Alistair Cookie and the parody “ Monsterpiece Theater”, where Alistair played by Cookie Monster, had a pipe which he ate is not suited for children.  HUH?
So the politically correct producers are now worried that Cookie Monster smoking and eating a pipe is a bad example for the tender young children of this generation.
Let’s see, these are the same tender young children that own Ipods, download raunchy videos and songs of their favorite teenage slutty rock stars, and play video games that have so much blood and violence in them that they would make a soldier a little squeemish. AND NOW WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT KIDS SEEING COOKIE MONSTER SMOKING A PIPE? ARE-YOU-KIDDING-ME?
The politically correct police are tyring to make sure our kids are going to turn out perfect. They will speak perfectly, think perfectly, walk perfectly, breath perfectly and just plain live perfectly. They will never smoke, gain weight, drink, take drugs, swear, think bad thoughts nor will they compete with anyone becasue that might make someone else feel bad.
Perfection is sooooooo boring. Ever meet and talk with someone who thinks they are perfect? They can put you to sleep, or in serious cases, they can make your heart stop. THESE PEOPLE ARE DANGEROUS TO OUR HEALTH!!
Take me now, oh Lord.
If Big Bird and Cookie Monster videos are now for adults only…what’s next? Mickey Mouse? ( Those shorts might cause children to think Mickey’s an exhibitionist!!)
I marveled at the news of Sesame Street going adult. I don’t know how I ever made it this far in life without the politically correct speech and thougt patterns now being demanded by some very demented people.
I’ve got to run now. I’m going down to Amazing Video on Allens Avenue to get my copy of the early episodes of Sesame Street.
