Obviously Fox News’ ridiculous antics are not any kind of #shocker at this point, but this discussion of the “propaganda machine” that is Sesame Street is more hilarious / ironic than most.
Fox News reports how “the whole purpose of Sesame Street was to cater to black and Hispanic youths” and how Sesame Street is “setting up a problem” by pushing a propaganda liberal agenda that wants to blur the lines of gender and values and everything good that real Americans are now having to hold on to for dear life.
Because Fox News is just trying to show America the propaganda media machines exist in our society… (note: it’s not Sesame Street) (related pun-filled Sesame Street song quote: “The monster in the mirror just might be you.” - Grover)
Also exciting and notable in this interview:
Attacks on transgenderism, Miss America 2008 complaining about the “hypersexualization of women” (UHHHHHH….), the future of government taking over the moral compasses of families and churches, liberal media’s need to “shock the bourgeoisie”, need we go on?(via thedailywhat)
Damn Cookie Monster’s lookin’ fine.
I really hope this happens though… it’s about time SNL does something hilarious and daring.
Tumblr has a knack for reminding me of some of the best artifacts of my childhood.
ie There’s a Monster at the End of this Book: Starring Lovable, Furry Old Grover
My life was so PoMo before I even knew.
Little known fact of the day: Bert has a baby cousin named Brad.
I like that Bert is becoming a meme thanks to Sesame Street’s tweet re: his debatably homoerotic hair-do.
- this list includes lots of, but is not limited to, Downtown Los Angeles (click here for more DTLA), 30 Rock, food, cheese, New York City and Paris, great music and post-ironic artifacts.
