This is an absolute outrage….whoever thinks that the cookie monster should eat fruit is a morally bankrupt human being ….I saw him eat a type writer and a telephone in the same episode one time..isn’t that bad for your health too??good lord….end the madness now….

LOL. How do the keyword tags generate the sidebar ads and blog recommendations? From time to time I boggle on what pops up depending on the post.

I’m guessing that the reference to “veggie” was the trigger for the ad “How I lost 36lbs. Fast” or “How I lost 35 lbs. in 3 months with no dieting”, countered by the recommended Peanut butter and honey cookie recipe blogpost triggered by “cookie”.

(I love watching artificial intelligence at work.)

Well, you’ve heard Cookie Monster also has an eating disorder. He never actually EATS the cookies.

Yep, it’s a messed up world. :]

As far as I was told at Sesame Place during the Variety Club event a few weeks ago, he is still the Cookie Monster, and he will never be the Veggie Monster.

Did Popeye sell more spinach?
May have done, at least according to Wikipedia

Interestingly enough, Eleanor thought cookies were kind of “yuck” for quite a while when she was little–I think most of them were too sweet for her palate. But she thought the old videos of Cookie Monster in cookie rapture were funny and the character was one of the first that she related to–along with Elmo.

B is for broccoli, it’s good enough for me .

Cookie monster ate, but how much did he swallow. Kid’s don’t need a gluttonous face cloth with eyes to teach them to love cookies.

Burt and Ernie don’t live together for PC reasons!

Oscar dosn’t live in a trash can!

If I have also heard correctly, Big Bird has flown the nest.

PC is always historically incorrect!

Cookie Monster does Old Skool
1987
“Healthy Food”
YouTube (family friendly)

(I remember that hubby and I almost laughed ourselves sick when we first saw this–the refrain is pretty cool).

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Say it ain’t so

Actually, I remember hearing about this a while back and thinking much the same thing you did: What is this world coming to?
