I like the idea of the talking eggplant, but don't give cookie monster a freaking Frookie, please. If it's from the Whole Foods punish-your-children aisle, it's not really a cookie.
bleh! Now the anti poverty league will put Oscar in subsidized housing, and the psychologists will give Big Bird something so he stops seeing Snuffalufagus when no one else ever does.
1) M--snuffleupagus became visible to everyone about 15 years ago, b/c people didn't want kids to think big bird was nuts, or they were, or something.
2) i discussed this issue w/ the mom of a toddler at dinner tonight, and she was horrified too. she says they watch a lot of sesame street and she's noticed a huge increase in health-related programming--dancing vegetables and the like. C is for cookie was good enough for us when we were kids, dammit! there's no need to change it!
