...Snufalufagus is a smack addict, why didnt they get rid of him?

Cookie monster ate vegetables back when I was a prescooler 25-odd years ago.

He had that rap song "Healthy food... Taste so Good... Ahhhhh AHHHH Healthy Food!"

I was talking exclusively. His name has Cookie in it.

Oh, wow, for 5' 4? That's sad.

They also tried to get rid of him for promoting pedophelia, yes, thats right.

Apparently when no-one beleived Big Bird that his imaginary friend was doing things it was telling children not to tell advlts about things. I don't get it :shrug:

And since when have kids actually modelled their lifestyle after television programs, I watched the Garfield show, I am not an obese cat.

He still eats cookies. He even went on the Colbert report to deny the claims he doesnt eat cookies.

Not quite right.

The issue was that the advlts were not believing Big Bird when he told the truth. CTW (as it was at the time) believed that this may discourage kids from telling advlts things if they didn't think they'd believe them - it underminds the trust that advlts and their kids should have.

It was at a time where Hysteria over Priests was at its maximum.

Im just going by a post in this thread, I haven't watched Sesame Street, or Electric Company in thirty years.

You heard somewhat right: some guy in Chicago started a petition to force the people running on Sesame Street to air a special episode where Bert and Ernie would have had a union, claiming that everyone knows that they are homosixual and they should make it official, but the news outlets were taking a real "I don't wanna touch that" stance with it. And according to another post, the creators stated that they aren't gay.
