Default Muppets Diss Fox News In Response To Accusations Of Being Anti-Oil

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...ef=mostpopular

I'm not yet sure who is most laughable: the empty foam heads with something stuck up them or the Muppets...

The really sad thing about the whole situation is the Muppets (and Sesame Street) probably have been imparting more accurate and correct information than Fox News ever has (not ot mention probably being more "Fair and Balanced")...

An interesting BTW: I wonder if the general public is aware of the corporate subtext involved in the Muppet vs Fox News "feud"; the Muppets, by way of the Jim Henson Studios, are a subsidiary of Disney Studios. Disney is getting in an indirect dig at rival Fox without have to be directly named...

Kermit has appeared on both Sesame Street and the Muppet Show. Clearly, he is a Commie-Nazi.

Sesame Street premiered before the Muppets, so he'd be more of a Nazi-Commie ; therefore my intention was to ask if Kermit changed opposite to the Duce, who went from Socialist to Fascist

Eight months over a span of 60+ years is a small slice of time; or, as an acquaintance of mine once said: "Geezer is as geezer does"...

But then again - it is the HuffingtonPuffingtonPost......

It is a story that came from FOX as news.
Is Haplo actually unwittingly condemning the murdoch media and their "liberal conspiracy" theories they sell to muppets?

Anyway everyone knows Kermit was at the forefront of the green movement.

Tribesman - if it came from FOX news first, then Fox bears just as much if not more responsibility for reporting it as "news". Its not. Regardless of what channel.

As for undermining a liberal conspiracy regarding the muppets - remember the quote from P.T. Barnum.... and recall that the more stupid someone is, the longer you can fool em.

For the record - I have always been a big fan of Kermit. I just think he needs better taste in females....
