This is a group that claimed a skittles commercial promoted bestiality. Only pay attention to them for the cheap laughs at human stupidity.

I'm sorry, but did they watch the original Muppet Show? There was always adult humor present.
More like have they ever watched ANY main kids cartoons/shows?

Most of those shows tend to have adult-oriented jokes tossed in for the parents watching it with their kids.

Never got why people liked the Muppet to begin with, so no issue with me.

Wished they'd been buried in the 70s with almost everything from that decade.

Wait, what? When did they do this?

I know they were upset about a GEICO commercial but skittles?

Is there something that 1 million moms doesnt find abhorent? If there was ever a need for completely ridiculous call for censorship they are a perfect example.

"Meanwhile, parents will have to explain to confused children that the program they once were allowed to watch is no longer a nice show. This would have been completely unnecessary if ABC had made the program follow its original family-friendly design."
Alternatively, it would have been completely unnecessary if the parents werent pants-on-head-retarded. but thats too much to expect nowadays is it?

So how does being a mom make them think they know jack shit about what child should or should not see (yes raising your child is one thing but to impose your moral onto a different group is a different thing)!
I bet these are the same moms that would bad mouth other women who decide to either have children later on in life or who decide to not have kids at all. Using the haunting line of, or similar to, "You can't fully understand children until you have birthed and raised one of your own". Something like that but haunting.

huh? I never really cared about Muppets that much, because I subconsciously never saw them as relevant to my age range. Might need to check them out now.

One Million Moms, what the American Family Association does in it's spare time when it isn't demonizing them gays. The same people who wanted to boycott Ben & Jerry's for making Schweddy Balls ice-cream.

Forgetting the moms people, anybody else befuddled by the continued existence of the Muppets? Just me? I don't understand why Kermit and Piggy hold press conferences (I think they do?) like they're real people. Why websites post on the relationships of Muppets. I feel like I'm not getting a joke.

The premise of the Muppets was that they featured in the background of "hollywood" etc.
Famous people would come on the show to do their bit and get "interviewed" the rest of it was Hensons form of comedy/theater.

The idea is that the Muppets are.. well... real, that's the entire point, they're just these creatures that happen to exist in the entertainment industry and do all kinds of work, the Muppet show had "behind the scenes" fragments all the time to correspond with this.


A modern day example of this sort of thing is Ted although nowhere near as well executed it cuts the crap and brings the magic to life.

"Miss Piggy came out as a pro-choice feminist during an MSNBC interview."

That's not exactly true, the reporter clearly went off script and the actor did a double take and said she was pro-everything. Which if you think about it is a rather evasive answer.

A couple of years ago. It was too batshit to get much press, but Bill Maher did a rant on it, and I did check their webpage at the time to make sure he wasn't making it up. Basically it was (to them) a commercial where a girl kisses (peck on the cheek) a walrus, it must mean she's going to fuck it.

I remember that commercial. She didn't give it a peck, she was straight up making out with it. Like, disturbingly so. Seriously, it made me uncomfortable. Not in the bestiality sense, just the noises...guh.


On topic: Muppets was a lot of fun. I think I prefer the old style with actual sketches, though. This style feels like something they should do occasionally as an episode theme, less like what the entire basis of the show is. That said though, I got a pretty good laugh out of Fozzie when he was explaining his issues with his dating profile XD
