Old Sesame Street Labeled "For Adults"

__________________

I read this article yesterday and then wrote a 1,500 word rant on it on Facebook. I couldn't believe it. I especially like how the NY Times article mentioned the unsanitory conditions, albeit in sarcasm as they really appeared to question the notice as well, of a farmer milking a cow with his hands (shock) in the old fashioned style. I now have something to blame on why I'm so messed up? Wait, I more normal then any kid is currently. Things like this just piss me off really quickly because of how absurd it is, and how little responsibility parents want to have for raising their children that a show like Sesame Street had to get cleaned up so much and now the original episodes are considered bad for kids.

Continued evidence that the world is spiraling down the drain, "Sesame Street made me do it." I would imagine this means The Electric Company is next? You know cos they they always asked "Which one of these things is not like the other? Which one of these things is not quite right?" You're totally humming that aren't you? If you are are you might be a racist pig, I guess you'd better seek some sensitivity training. Was my tongue firmly enough planted in my cheek there or do I need to withdraw that?

How many people here grew up on the 'original' Sesame Street?

oh dear. That's so sad. My youngest son loved the 'original' Sesame Street so much. Wait till I tell him.

I think this is a very truthfully sad thread. And I don't mean anything towards Sesame Street, whoever thinks it's 'X-rated' or sees any inkling must be on drugs.

I'd like to see a movie about Oscar the grouch in the style of Ted, an actual adult Sesame Street.

Miss Piggy could be a prostitute. The fame could have got to Kermit and he's become a crack addict. Big Bird is a gangster. The Count is an evil vampire who goes round killing innocent muppets. Elmo could be a victim, but not before Oscar has beaten him up for being so nice and sweet.

Just an idea!

You need this.
