So 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!)
