Sesame Street's "Cookie Monster" Has Been Emasculated

By Robert Paul Reyes

Sesame Street's beloved blue, furry monster lived up to his moniker by greedily gobbling one cookie after another.

No more. The "Cookie Monster" has been emasculated. The formerly fearsome monster is now a wimpy shill for healthy eating. His "C is for cookie" song has been replaced with a new song -- "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food." God, what is the world coming to? That's like Lil' Kim singing, "I'm a sometimes slut."

Program producers say with the rise in childhood obesity, "Sesame Street" is focusing on teaching kids about healthy foods.

The producers should focus on producing kid- friendly entertainment. Kids don't want to see a Cookie "Monster" who daintly nibbles on one cookie at a time.

Free "Cookie Monster". Let him revert to his old ways of munching tons of cookies.

"Let him revert to his old ways of munching tons of cookies."

I think the bunny just wants to munch on some cookies. Don't project; it's just unhealthy.


P.S. You are slowly creeping your way into my masterbation fantasies.

I wonder if he'll start hanging out with Burt and Ernie more often? Rubber dildo, you're the one...

Where were all of you when Sesame Street pussified me a few years ago?

They'll probably start calling him the Celery Monster soon. Disgraceful.

Don't worry about it too much, kids don't even watch Sesame street anymore.

I tutor kids after school. I had three kids at my table the other day and I said something about sesame street to drive home a point. Only the oldest of the three had ever seen sesame street and he confessed that it was so long ago that he didn't remember much of it. So It's not sesame street emasculating children, it's japanamation.

Parents need to rally to censor everything! Forget responsibility!

My son watches Sesame Street, course he's only a year and a half, but it's not what it use to be. He still eats a lot of cookies, but it starts getting stupid when you see him sing about fruit. I guess they should have just brought in a fruit monster or someone, and left cookie monster alone. people are so dumb sometimes.

Posted by: Manda at August 20, 2005 04:46 PM

They don't call him the Cookie Responsible Person, or the Sometimes I like a cookie guy, hes the fuckin' COOKIE MONSTER. MONSTER! Fruity monstah fruity fruity monstah! If parents are worried about it, they should try RAISING THEIR FUCKING KIDS INSTEAD OF LETTING THE TV DO IT! jeez. That really gets me heated.

Posted by: PhilABowl at August 20, 2005 05:55 PM

That has got to be the dumbest shit I have heard in a while. Is there a link to this information so I can marvel at the stupidity?

Posted by: WhiteZombie at August 20, 2005 07:47 PM

Yeah, it's not fair that Cookie Monster has to be de-cookie-fied to set an example. I mean, they already had those awesome singing vegetables...

"Healthy food... tastes so good... aahhhhhhh... HEALTHY FOOD"

Hooray for morons who can't spell masturbation.
No wonder you spend most of your day with your dick in your hand.


I feel bad for the cookie monster.
But truly, there is so much other shit out there that kids watch now.

I think we may be the last of a generation of Sesame Street. Truly sad.

Whoops, or vibrator be that as it may. ;-)

On the flip side of things, there is the AIDS sesame street character (only in Africa, though).

I can't wait until they attack Oscar the Grouch in response to a rise in school violence and rename him Oscar the Slightly Irritable but It's Not His Fault Because He's Got a Chemical Imbalance

I'm not too worried about it either way, though. If your kid is watching Sesame Street it means you don't have cable which means you are poor which means you don't matter.

if parents are worried about the messages their kids are getting from television, then they should have them stop watching, otherwise, leave my blue friend alone, he has googly eyes, I mean, c'mon, GOOGLY eyes for gods sake. it's not like he can control his cravings when his eyes roll crazily.

DRex, what about all the rich white suburbanites who listen to NPR all day and watch Lehrer at night? Their kids are probably watching Sesame Street. Goddamn hippies.

Is our country becoming more and more lame? I have been living outside the US for a number of years (US Navy) and I keep hearing about things like this. Is the entire country turning into a bunch of pussies while I'm away or is the media just gone lame? Please tell me that the American people are not actually buying this crap and are not slowly turning into a bunch of pansies.

Bunny,

You're funny and your extremley hot. Look me up if your ever in Aus.

Oh my. After reading the 'I feel old' thread over on Tuckers board.. now this? I think a little part of me just died. I'm going to choke on a Duran Duran album.

Posted by: Drew at August 22, 2005 08:45 AM

On one hand? Yeah they're neutering a really great kids television character. And there's not enough of them left to risk ripping the guts out of the good ones.

On the other hand? I'm a tubby guy. I've spent my entire adult life struggling with my weight. I kind of wish someone had gotten to me when I was a kid and said 'Cookies are a sometimes food you little butterball fuck!'

Posted by: McWombat at August 22, 2005 01:48 PM

..anything to keep from actually parenting a child. It's the cookies fault of course, we should saddle our kids up with healthy fruit..after all, teaching them that fat is bad, and being fat makes you unwanted, unloved, and uneducated really adds to making them better people.

"I live in a fuckin' garbage can" as the equivalent of Oscar the Grouch said on the Dave Chapelle show.

Enemy of C'ship - "while they beat the losers, who will never see a clitoris."

I suppose we know which category you're in. I was a nerd in high school, and let me tell you, the stereotypes from "revenge of the nerds" are true. My girl's clit fuckin' BREAKDANCES, and my dick is bigger soft than yours is hard. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you - 4 inches is NOT average.

Posted by: PhilABowl at August 22, 2005 09:16 PM

What say we let Cookie grow up and become "Crack Monster"?

And to the Navy dude who posted before me, yes, America is becoming a nation of feel-good pussies. I've lived in Asia for the past 8 years and I have seen what our country has become as an outsider looking in. George Washington is turning in his grave.

Perhaps if they want to drive home the health message they should just have Cookie Monster keel over from a coronary. What the hell is next? Is Oscar the Grouch going to go to a homeless shelter and take anger management classes?

Enemy of censorship is a fucking idiot.

Posted by: mike at August 23, 2005 09:26 PM

You know, I'm a parent. I have two well-adjusted kids who do seem to watch a lot of TV. But... they only watch what I let them. Why? BECAUSE I'M A PARENT!!! It's MY job to decide what is appropriate or not for my family. There are two buttons on the remote I'd like to point out. One of them turns the TV off, and the other changes the channel! What a concept! I don't need some repressed, mysogynistic, overweight, bible bashing, closet case retard deciding what is appropriate for my children to watch. If this continues, the next family movie night will be a triple feature, consisting of Resevoir Dogs, Clockwork Orange, and Caligula.

alright, i'm new to your site (ps i love it) but i have to clear something up.

okay so when a penis is soft-its actually tensed up...and when its hard its relaxed, it lets all the blood flow through it...

therefore the smaller a penis is soft the larger it is hard.

i know thats random and maybe useless and i bet half of you don't believe me...thats cool. but i watch way too much tlc and discovery health so i know random shit like that.
