C Is For Cookie!

Okay, listen up, I'm a vegetarian, but I think it's just downright blasphemous that PBS has taken the cookie out of Cookie Monster:
VEGGIE MONSTER??
Give me a break! Soccer moms are mad because their kids are obese--well, I dare say, it's not Cookie Monster's fault that kids are fat.
Why not create a NEW muppet that loves veggies, and show that it's good to eat a balanced diet with all of the food groups? Taking the cookies out of Cookie Monster's life is like taking wire taps away from our current administration! Actually, it's a little worse: 'Cookie's just an innocent bystander.

"C is for cookie, that's good enough for me"

Un-BE-lievable. What's next? It was bad enough when they took away Mr. Potato Head's pipe, but at least it was based in (marginally) rational thought. Oh o, better get Earnie and Burt out of the same room, you know where that can lead to.
Common sense aint' so common, is it?

I've always thought that Bert and Ernie pushed their beds together once the camera crew left and the lights went out. It is, as you say, common sense, isn't it? I mean, a grown muppet playing with a rubber duckie....come on, now....HELLO!!!

I signed it, Bhakti. I have an original Cookie Monster stuffed animal from 1971. I cannot imagine him being called anything but his real name!

What's next? Rename Wolverine to Mr. Scratches?

Rename a Jefferson school building to a Malcolm X one because Jefferson owned slaves?

And dare I say? Rename Christmas Break to Winter Break?

Exactly. It's the fault of soccer moms who keep feeding their kids junk food and are too lazy to raise their kids, so they stick them in front of a t.v. or videogames.

COOLVIR: I was not aware of that Donald Duck trivia. Most ducks I know don't wear pants! ;)

KENJU: That's cool. There are actually several petitions online. It's quite the controversy, but, you know, CNN only wants to report about the war in Iraq, etc...LOL!

CABE: Uh...bitter sarcasm in the air?? LOL!

ZOMBIE SLAYER: You should see what some of my students eat for lunch. It's sad.

BOOTCAT: Are you saying that coconut oil helps in losing weight?? I always thought that coconut oil was incredibly fattening! What are you talking about, my Indian friend?? Please explain! :)

How sad! Cookie Monster is an icon for all who watched Sesame Street as kids...Parents should be responsible for what their kids are eating...they should not have to kill Cookie monster for Veggie Monster!!! I just read that some group is suing Nickolodean television and Kelloggs because they advertise junk food to kids!! Where the heck are the parents? They dont have to buy it!! Blame everyone else!
My kids love junk food, but I dont buy it all the time..and I make sure they eat enough good food. We have to go to Aunt D's house for junk food...(lollipops, KitKats and cold coffee)

Who's Aunt D? Again, I think you must have me confused with someone else named Bhakti. Your family sounds like a bunch of freaks. LOL!

Are you serious? No cookie monster? If we can blame someone else for our problems, we will! Hope your recovery is coming along well.

Really? They took the "cookie" out? Where have I been?

I think that veggie monster will be healthier for kids, but it is kind of sad. Maybe next they'll turn Oscar into "the cheerful" rather than "the grouch". And Big Bird will be "The Plus-size Bird".

They can't touch Grover though.

I did not have sexual relations...
with that cookie monster.

Well that depends on what the meaning of relations is is is.

SAGE: Slowly but surely, things (regarding my health) will work out. I must remember to stay in the present moment and live with what is, rather than wishing things were different. I also must maintain a healthy balance of 'proactivity' with regard to my health. I'm having another procedure on Wednesday, and another CAT scan on Friday; these things should help us find a cure, for sure. :)

FRED: Yes, no more cookies for Cookie!

FLATLANDER: I don't think it's unhealthy for kids to eat cookie, in moderation. What would a childhood be like without Chips Ahoy and milk???

I think PBS could have maybe changed Cookie's character so that he made more health conscious cookie selections, such as vegan or cookies sweetened with fruit juice, etc. But to take the cookies away altogether is sad.

I feel like Grover was put on the back burner by Elmo. And I really think that Grover may be of Bert and Ernie's persuasion; but that's just my take.

PRESIDENT CLINTON: Yeah, right. You've been caught with your hand in the cookie jar one too many times for me to believe that!! LOL!

All that hydrogenated vegetable oil can't be good. But who am I to talk, cookie love that I am!
