Sesame Street is pure evil.
October 1, 2008So in response to my previous post about the letter ‘m,’ my cousin Lindsay linked to this video in the comments (if you haven’t read the other post, do it now, it’ll change your life quicker than Garden State ever could, I swear):
If you haven’t read the other post, that video probably makes absolutely no sense to you. If you have, you may find it amusing and chuckle a bit. Clearly it would have been better had I found this video earlier and put it with the other post… almost to the point where its kind of silly for me to put it up. But there was something else I wanted to bring up; after watching the video, I came to a conclusion, and that conclusion is…
Sesame Street is pure evil.
Just watch that video… to think we grew up on that! Though on the surface it looks harmless (if only a bit creepy), if you actually listen to the words, you can see the awful prejudice and injustice it promotes!!!
What’s that you say? You say there is absolutely no way our beloved Sesame Street would do such a thing! Check out from 0:21 to 0:28 one more time… It says, and I quote: “The word man starts with ‘m.’ Daddy’s a man, and men have mustaches”
“…and men have mustaches” !?!??!!
This video clearly perpetuates the stereotype that in order to be a real man, one must have a mustache! There are millions of people in this world who choose not to have a mustache, why should that make them any less of a man! Its a personal choice! Are the bourgeois mustached producers over at Sesame Street unable to feel empathy for those who cannot grow a mustache?! Why must they go through life being second-class citizens! This is an outrage, its so disgusting to see things like this, almost makes me wish I lived in Canada.
The worst part, this is only one little clip. I’m sure if we comb through the Sesame Street archives, it only gets uglier… So I ask you to boycott Sesame Street, Duke students and fellow people of America! If you believe in freedom, liberty, and/ or ghosts, you believe the cookie monster’s cookie eating days should be over! End tyranny, no taxation without representation, and definitely don’t tread on me! To semi-quote Mel Gibson from the movie Braveheart: “They may take our lives, but they will never take, our lack of mustaches!”
(Thanks Lindsay for the video!)
First, your facts are wrong: According to Mustachioed Macho Manly Monthly Magazine, (or M5), there are only hundreds of thousands of people in this world who choose not to have a mustache. The rest are women or wimps and hardly meet the criteria needed for manhood. As a child who grew up watching Sesame street, I realize the importance that mustaches play in our lives. Most great war heroes, philosophers and cat burglars have mustaches. I mean, simply no progress could ever be made with out the careful strategic use of the mustache and/or goatee.
Furthermore, I’d like to direct you to this site, where you will find Mel Gibson, a harbinger of trend, showing you the true importance and/or sexiness of facial hair.
Finally, everyone knows that it is much more difficult to tread on another when he/she has a well trimmed or sleek mustache. It’s just physics.
Please engage in more careful research and subscribe to M5 when you get the chance, some of the articles on keeping unwanted milk and juicy-juice out of one’s whiskers and muttonchops.

Cookie Monster almost did stop eating cookies. (See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthy_Habits_for_Life#Veggie_Monster_scare)
This was an incredibly traumatic experience for many Americans and I believe you owe them both a retraction and an apology for your anti-cookie-eating advocacy!
Dear Chris, you bring up some excellent excellent points. I had forgotten to consider whether or not cat burglars had mustaches. But I would just like to throw out there that I do not have a mustache, and most people consider me to be the pinnacle of manliness…
Ardent- Its tough for me to issue said apology given the fact that Sesame Street is such an awful entity! The debate over whether or not Cookie monster should continue eating cookies, IMO, was probably just meant to divert attention away from the fact that the show was making outlandish statements about people without mustaches!
No explanation needed…
My mom had a mustache. Her name is Bertha. Here is a photo of her. I think Mustaches are very sexy, especially on women.

Thought you’d like to see a photo of me too:

i like your extremism; it makes my proclivities seem tame.
beyond that, we should certainly support women with mustaches (of choice)
Jimmy, you are very good looking!
Listen, guy. I feel that this article is more important than you give it credit for. I have been to jail several times now, and throughout each sentencing hearing, I have not been able to help myself but to continually blame Oscar the Grouch, Snuffleupagus and that damned Elmo-jerk for their abhorrent influence on my life.

uh, Monsters are NOT fun. Believe me. I know this as a fact. They are NOT ticklish. Being ticklish is inherent to being “Fun”. Go to ‘Heck’ Sesame Street, you’re evil.
AOK in GA,

Here, a strange resemblance to the actual source of pure evil: the Führer of the Third Reich.
