Most of you will have seen this already, but for those of you who haven't, this is the saddest thing I've read in a long time:

Sesame Street: Not Suitable for Children

Especially when you think about all the consumerism-driven crap that is considered suitable for kids these days.

That is sad. And pathetic and infuriating and just plain stupid.

I grew up on Sesame Street and I managed not to grow into an obese, chain-smoking misanthrope with an eating disorder,

Ok, so I am a misanthrope, but that has nothing to do with SS. It's because 99% of the population are fucking morons.

Quite. And Sesame Street was trying to teach people not to be fucking morons.

I tell ya, in the future there are gonna be two different kinds of people - the ultra-sensetive, raised-in-cotton-wool people for whom sesame street is an X-rated movie, and the ultra-hard chain-smoking evil chav bastods wot were riding motorbikes at the age of 5 and drinking and smoking at 10.
