Sesame Street DVD Deemed Adult-Only Entertainment
theodp writes "The earliest episodes of Sesame Street are being made available on DVD, but the NYT notes Volumes 1 and 2 carry a rather strange warning: 'These early 'Sesame Street' episodes are intended for grown-ups, and may not suit the needs of today's preschool child.' So why are they unsuitable for toddlers in 2007? Well, in the parody 'Monsterpiece Theater,' Alistair Cookie — played by Cookie Monster — used to appear with a pipe, which he later gobbled. 'That modeled the wrong behavior,' explained a Sesame Street executive producer, adding that 'we might not be able to create a character like Oscar [the Grouch] now.'"
It seems creators of these shows spend more time shoving commercials and their political agendas down the throats of developing minds than they do teaching any useful skills or information.
When I was a kid, me and all the kids I knew were raised by loving parents. It seems these days parents are too exhausted from the 60 hour weeks just trying to keep up with ever-increasing expenses, and as a result their children are drugged up and raised by soulless marketing companies via the idiot tube.
Just my 2c.
Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture?
No, but "Uncle Ted" made them smoke pole.
I think the societal ills (and the changes you dislike in Sesame Street) are a result of attempts to feminize boys and fat, militant women in flannel who think they know what is best for society and are running for president.
What is the "wrong behavior" that it is modeling - that you shouldn't EAT PIPES?? Oh but I guess sitting down and woffing back 30 -40 cookies at one sitting is OK behavior? No wonder America is so obese.
Grover was really bored, one day. Big Bird was collecting cans for
the poor, and Oscar the Grouch was in one of his pissed-off moods
again. So he decided to go over to Maria's house.
"Hi, Maria!" Grover exclaimed as he entered. The sight he saw was one
he would not soon forget. Maria lay on the couch, wearing nothing but
a pair of high-heeled shoes. She had one of her fingers deep inside
her wet pussy, the digit probing and caressing her inner membranes.
She looked up and saw Grover, and was startled; she had not expected
any company. But a lewd grin soon replaced her initial look of
apprehension; she invited Grover to join her on the couch.
Now Grover, you see, was a virgin. He didn't ever admit it to any of
the other Sesame Street gang, but he had never even felt a girl's
tits. So you can imagine the wave of pleasure that swept over him.
Without a word, Grover approached Maria, and crawled on top of her.
Since muppets don't wear clothes, he didn't have to undress. He
reached between his legs, and from the jungle of blue fur extracted a
huge blue cock, hairy from end to end. It was already fully erect,
and fit to burst. With one deft move, Maria parted her pussy lips,
already wet from masturbation, and Grover soon filled her void with
his heaving azure member. He pumped up and down on Maria, the
sensuous movement bringing his excitement to a fever pitch. The
puppeteers had their hands full that day! Maria was experiencing a
whole new world of pleasure, herself; she had never fucked a muppet
before, and it proved to be an incredible experience.
Grover soon exploded inside her, his warm fuzzy dick going off like a
cannon deep within Maria. She screamed, as she was climaxing at the
same time. She grabbed ahold of Grover's blue shoulders, and almost
wept on his shoulder, so powerful was the experience.
But Grover wasn't done yet. His furry member had gone soft, and he
wanted it hard again. So he leaned over, and took one of Maria's pert
breasts in his mouth. His plush tongue caressed and fondled the
nipple, and Maria moaned at the pleasure of it. The nipple was very
hard, and Grover was having a delightful time, tasting bare tit for
the first time. Soon Maria decided it was her turn to have a little
"taste" of the action. She shoved Grover off her tit, and bent down.
With both hands she grasped his monstrous cock, and began to stroke
it, slowly at first, then with greater and greater intensity. Grover
(actually Frank Oz) moaned and cried at the incredible feeling. The
member was soon hard as a rock, and Maria lifted it to her eager lips.
She devoured his cock with great appetite, sliding her mouth up and
down the plush boner, and with her hands she stroked his blue balls.
Grover, by this time, was about ready to come, and he cried out;
simultaneously, great bursts of white cum exploded from his member
into Maria's mouth, and she eagerly swallowed the divine nectar of his
loins. She was pleasantly surprised to find it tasted like
marshmallows.
Grover knew he must have more. He turned Maria around, so she was on
all fours; he licked and sucked her ass and pussy, burying his big
furry head between her creamy thighs. Soon, he was erect again; and
without another word, he proceeded to drive his massive rod into her
ass, again and again. He was like an animal. Maria cried out in a
mixture of pain and ecstasy: "Oh, Grover, Yes, Grover!" Grover knew,
as he came one more time, that learning letters and numbers just
wasn't going to cut it anymore.
At about this time, Bert and Ernie stopped by Maria's. They were going
to go miniature golfing. But when they saw the vicious fucking on the
couch, they knew that they were staying right there. They quickly
stripped, and Bert fucked Ernie's ass so hard that Ernie screamed.
Bert bucked back and forth like a kid on a rocking horse, and held on
to Ernie by Er
The "religious right" wants to live their lives without having to bow to the totalitarian left's new government rules.
Not quite. They also seek to abuse the power of government to enforce their superstition on others. Right or left, superstitious or secular, the enemy is that which seeks the subjugation of the individual to the collective.

The only title of honor that a tyrant can grant is "Enemy of the State."
That was over 80 years ago.
You seem to have missed the recent attempts to bring superstition back into the classrooms. Google for "Intelligent Design".

-No teaching of evolution (later scaled back to putting warning stickers that evolution was "only" a theory and trying to give equal time to Intelligent Design, as if it had equal credibility).
Who was "forced" in this example? What were they forced to do?
I understand that you want religious messages censored. I'm wondering why not censoring them is considered force.
-Posting the 10 commandments in schools and courthouses, presumably to give the impression that they have the weight of official government policy behind them.
Who was forced? What were they forced to do?
-School children should be lead by teachers in pledging themselves to a nation "under God", (originally compulsory, after complaints it was scaled back to they must stand respectfully and watch all their all peers pledge themselves).
I actually agree with you there. My solution is school choice. The government schools are outmoded. About 80% of what they do at the government schools is not education and they ought to stop it.
-Marriage can only be between a man and a woman (some compromise and allow calling it Civil Unions, but stating that 1 man/1 woman and having kids is the "gold standard"). Constitutional amendments even proposed to this end.
Who was forced? What were they forced to do?
Why should society have to recognize any given relationship as a marriage? What if we don't agree that it's a marriage?
A marriage is what it has always been throughout history in all societies. It's not a definition created by "the right". There are hundreds of thousands of years of history on this in all societies and all religions throughout the world. No gay marriages in that history -- until about 12 years ago.
. -Teachers and coaches leading students in prayer at school events, designated school "prayer time", ect.

i liked that show when i was, i cant remember, cause i was that little. anyway, that mr rogers, richard simmins and the muppets, i watched em. thier all BAD BAD BAD BAD. but somehow its ok for kids to watch a show called dragonBallz. i jsut thought it was important to mention that the shows we used to watch are not ok cause 1 of em depicts a pipe. but a show named after a mythalogical creatures testicals is ok.
wheres the political correctness? only enforced when it serves a purpose i suppose
i guess bo n duke were gay also, and the a-team was gay too, and so was knight rider, but DragonBallz has nothin to do with sexual orientation.
the shows name always irked me, now i can say how i feel
Fuck off, dipshit.
