C is for cookie
It sez here that
Sesame Street's Cookie Monster is going on a diet. The beloved blue shag carpet is a bad role model for obese kids, dontcha know. Mr. Monster's signature tune will become: "A cookie is sometimes food." (There is as yet no word on the secondary uses of cookies.) And the Sesame roadway website now features a really, really, really, really fun game called
"Toss a Salad with Cookie Monster."
But what of The Count's obsessive compulsive disorder? What of Oscar's explicit approval of anti-social behaviour? And Elmo strikes me as the sort of guileless youngster who speaks to strangers. Get on it, people.
