    I find 'political correctness' to be too much of a blanket phrase to be of any use.
    Agreed.

    The people I usually hear complaining about are those who really want to make jokes at work about how black people are thieves and women are sluts or something.

    This is a softball pitched to D_Davis. Have a field day, my friend.
    Yeah. I stayed out of this on Icine, and I am staying out of this here. It is of course, totally ridiculous. I just don't have the desire to start the whole PC-BS argument again.

    Even as a kid, it was clear to me that Cookie Monster's gluttonous behavior was not something to be emulated. The joke was that he represented childlike desires exaggerated to the brink of insanity.
    Was he ever meant to be an adult?

    Oh yeah, HE'S A FUCKING MUPPET.

    What ever happened to the imagination? It used to be such a wonderful place to hang out.

    No, I meant when I was a kid, not when Cookie Monster was a kid.

    I know - I was just asking a sarcastic question to those people who think that some how kids viewed the Cookie Monster as an "adult" monster who was supposed to be some kind of good influence rather than a fictitious monster having a good time eating cookies.

    You'd rather be curious if the world was actually round, and why the fucking Vikings won't leave us alone? Lets not forget the bathing houses, and the bubonic plague raping the earth.

    Political Correctedness babies I'll deal with thank you very much.

    The Monsterpiece Theater episode in question.

    I give it a 6.

    Mindblowingly awesome.
    Wishful thinking, perhaps; but that is just another possible definition of the featherless biped.

    Okay. I've never seen the show, but between this and Darkwing Duck, this makes two amazing parodies of it. Awesome.

    What do you mean?

    Personally, I'm ashamed to live in a society where things like this skit are banned, where the game of Tag is banned from elementary schools, and where teenagers hire hitmen to off their parents after they lose their Playstation privileges.
