Fatwa Against False Muppets

I am radically in favour of gay marriage, think the more transhuman Angelina Jolie becomes the hotter she gets and can even just barely tolerate the new Star Wars films. But this. This is taking change too far.

The Flea hereby issues a Fatwa Against False Muppets. I will see you in Hell Sesame Street producers! "C" is for "fatwa"!

Something must be wrong in the land of Muppets. First PBS announced that "Sesame Street" would kick off its 35th season this week with a multiyear story arc about healthy habits. No problem there; childhood obesity rates are soaring. Then I learned of changes that turned my "Sesame Street" world upside-down.

My beloved blue, furry monster - who sang "C is for cookie, that's good enough for me" - is now advocating eating healthy. There's even a new song - "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food," where Cookie Monster learns there are "anytime" foods and "sometimes" foods.

For a second there I thought you were going to create a Big Bird-Snuffalupogas gay marriage thing....

I'm all in favor of gay marriage too. As long as it is the GOOD kind. Good, you know, two chicks. Oh, and they have to be HOT.
