"Phil: The Monster Who Sometimes Likes to Eat a Cookie"

Jonah Goldberg notes that the Children's Television Workshop and PBS have announced that the Cookie Monster's "not a Cookie Monster at all. In the interests of teaching kids not to be gluttons, CTW has transformed Cookie Monster into just another monster who happens to like cookies. His trademark song, “C is for Cookie” has been changed to “A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food.” And this is a complete and total reversal of Cookie Monster’s ontology, his telos, his raison d’etre, his essential Cookie-Monster-ness."

Phil: The Monster Who Sometimes Likes to Eat a Cookie - that is great...
