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

And to think, those subversive stuffed animals teach our kids! I think the letter 'M' ought to be locked up for at least a week!

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...

Hey vienna and Steve, I have a little side question: was the dunce cap still common during the time you guys went to school?
I'm asking because I know this cap only from Disney comics from the 50s/60s (and earlier) - however the artists who drew them went to school at the beginning of the last century.

The Muppets are made from petroleum based products. What's the problem here?

So the Muppets are Commies and Sesame Street are Nazis - where does this leave Kermit? Is he something like a reverse Mussolini?

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

Kermit is clearly pro-people.
Anti crony capitalism.
Fair for Joe shmoe small business, as it is for multinational fatcat.

In other words, he a progressive liberal.

Of course FAUX news will attack that, it makes a mockery of thier indoctrination.

We saw Kermit in Oakland assaulting a police officer, will be the next Fox report.

No. But then I went to school in Los Angeles, the center of progressive liberal thinking.

Hey, maybe I can blame them!

Ah, but Kermit had a long career before joining either of them, making his first appearance in 1955.
