Sesame Street Rated "not safe for your preschooler"

Here is the sadness that is our entertainment industry.

They've just released the original Sesame Street episodes on DVD, but they are accompanied by a precaution that they are not recommended for today's preschoolers. Why? Because Cookie Monster still eats everything in sight, Snuffy is still invisible to everyone but Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch is dismally grouchy, etc and so forth.

So, since today's parents can't hold a conversation with their child about why it's not good to eat paintings and chairs and railings and too many cookies, we're being issued a warning.

Give me a break TV Land! Entertainment is just that. If our kids learn the ABCs at the same time, good for the them. But, in the end, TV is entertainment. And entertainment is often fiction. As in, blue monsters don't really exist! Therefore you would be best to not follow his eating habits!

I could go on forever.

Go read it for yourself and let me know what you think.

Santa's a pimp and he gets his latte faster

Seems everytime I log onto the internet lately I'm tripping across some new piece of absolute moronicness from somewhere on the globe. The funny thing is sometimes the reporters realize it's moronic... like the mall in Australia who told their store santa's to say "ha ha ha" now because they thought "ho ho ho" might be offensive to women. Newsflash mates -- Saint Nick was around long before Snoop Dog.

Another stupid thing that annoys me is I keep reading all these moronic studies that colleges are conducting. One article reported recently that coffee houses discriminate against women, because it takes women an average of 20 seconds longer to get served their coffee drinks. I don't know about you, but personally stuff like that kind of makes me want to send those researchers to find out how long it takes to get a latte in Darfur, or Afganistan perhaps.

Another study from Great Britian claims that 1 in 4 people would NOT give up their cell phone for a month for a million dollars. Actually that one's kind of encouraging, because really I think that just shows that 1 in 4 people in Great Britian have a sense of humor. Perhaps there is hope for us yet.
