i heard on the radio that CNN or Fox cant remember who said bert and earnie should get married to support homosixual marriage....
did i hear that right?

you might have

Wait, so parents complained about them living together and now somebody suggests they get married? :confused:

That was an official statement from Sesame street a couple weeks back, when this topic was making headlines.

I'm glad they said something about it. All these stupid, ignorant parents. Do they feel any different about roommates?

Exactly. I ignored most of this topic because it's absurd.

They make better rappers.

:rofl: I have to see that episode when that happens...

the only reason i asked is because they (i dont know if they did this) took away the count for being racist and the cookie monsters like veggies...

Coming up this year on NBC, its the return of a Classic: Friends. Since we last visited the group Monica and Chandler's relationship has fallen apart... But Romance is still in the air, Chandler and Joey jet away for an intimate holiday in the Bahamas and did you say Phoebe, Rachel and Monica? Well you won't believe your eyes! oh, and Ross yells something in his irritating nasal voice.
Thats this year on Friends, returning to NBC.....
:facepalm:

I like their response in Mikedzines link. That's really all it comes down to, they're puppets people.

I don't get why people HAVE to tie human values to cartoons. Seriously, it's a little kid show. Bert and Ernie are like little kids, they do little kid stuff, which is funny for well, LITTLE KIDS! They live together and play games play with rubber ducks, etc. Little kids just...like it. But then advlts go over there and say "Well, they're gay, obviously!" It's a kids show! They aren't mean to have a sixual orientation, or any of that junk little kids don't yet care about. Especially them getting married too, kids don't get married! The show is based on the lives of kids and how they play together. It's not meant to exemplify advlt life, so why make those unneeded connections?

I'm not against gays or gay marriage and all that jazz, if they want to get married, why can't they. A man and woman who hate each other have more more of a right to get married than a gay couple that love each other? It's not right to discriminate them like that. But I don't think that advlts should add their values to a kid show, gay or not. Little kids don't sit watching TV and ask "Mommy, they're gay aren't they? They live with each other...so.." No, they watch for entertainment, not critique.

Anyway, why are people planning on messing up the next generation as well? Seriously, people are trying their absolute hardest to make kids not accept homosixuality and that messes up our future society because our future leaders just might be gay-haters! I think that our previous generations should just step aside with their beliefs and leave our current generation to think for themselves instead of infecting them with prejudice.

Press button lots of times really fast for best effect.

They got rid of the count? And CM eats Veggies now? Wha?????

It'd make the show a whole lot funnier.

@Xarnac: I don't know why they removed the Count, but they made the Cookie Monster the 'Fruit and Vegetable Monster". The changes were made during that "Child Obesity Epidemic". They thought that kids were following things they saw on TV and the Cookie Monster was the biggest star in unhealthy foods. So, he turned into the Fruit and Vegetable Monster. Kind of stupid really, but I hate how 'American' has now become synonymous with 'lard ass' or something of the sort. Seriously, I was on Omegle and I got called "fat" like 3 times on text chat because I said I was American. -.-

Seriously, I'm probably the thinnest person you can meet.......

But obesity is a HUGE epidemic, because the average GOES UP and doctors must follow it. Remember when everyone was healthy and overweight people were a rare sight? Well, I went to the doctor's office yesterday and they talked about how the weight average went up. Which means, a few years ago, 120 pounds was the average weight of an American person. Now, it's like 150. Seriously, I'm about to be classed as underweight because I'm only 111...the doctor had to class me in the 'danger zone' by law, because the average spiked. But in reality, I'm perfectly fine, it's just that the overweight men and women make the charts take a hike because their weights get averaged in....Kind of like, outliers.

This must be solved...

I heard about this the other day as well. Honestly, its ridiculous. It looks like a case of busybody politically correct campaigners with nothing better to do with their time that they can't even leave a beloved kids TV show alone. I don't know what they think they would achieve by doing this, other than confuse a lot of kids and dilute the fun learning messages that Sesame St provides.

Its a kids show, after all. :rolleyes:

I'd actually watch that. Friends might actually be funny then.

I take the "America, your fat" as a compliment. Most countries dont even know what those "extra ten pounds" are. Their magazines read: Shoes, This Guy has Got Them! and How To Rebuild From The Rubble In Ten Easy Steps. J/K...but not really.

:laugh:

The average was 120? For full grown? That doesn't seem right, most kids I know (that have no fat at all, just muscle) weigh around 140+

No, it was on a chart for height and stuff. I'm 5' 4 and the average used to range from 120 to 145 and now it ranges from 150 to 170+ or something of the sort. I'll try to get the details, but that's outrageous!

I think they took the count out because the children couldn't handle the gothic themes

:rolleyes: next elmo will be taken out for speaking in the 3rd person and teaching kids bad grammar.
