Next season, Cookie Monster will start telling kids that cookies are "a sometime food."

I can't put into words exactly why this pisses me off so badly, but JESUS, what a victory for the goddamned Nanny State.

"This is Wile E. Coyote reminding you that rockets are a sometimes toy."

While I agree with you that some of the things children see on TV model behavior, I don't recall personally ever thinking that engorging myself on cookies was ethical behavior.

Besides, as a muppet, he can't swallow. So he's modelling breaking cookies up in your mouth and spitting them out. :)

Exactly - he's a role model for bulimia, not unbridled gluttony.

Now you've ruined Cookie Monster :(

I will forever consider him to have an eating disorder!
