C is for Cookie no more...
Listening to: Children of the Night, Art Blakey
Thinking of:
Cookie monster has indeed gone a little off tangent. Last year, it was reported that before eating his first cookie, the blue hairy one spoke out against his critics about the lack of his name. Apparently, Cookie as we all know him, revealed before his first cookie on set, has a name... Sid. Yup, it's Sid.
Other things that you probably wouldn't care about about Cookie: He's played by Frank Oz, who does the voices for Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear.
Sesame Street representitives have also spoken out against Cookie's all cookie diet and now have insisted that Cookie adopt broader eating habits. This does not coincide with the emergence of talking aubergines and carrots on the set on the muppet television studio. Though that said, it'd be interesting to see Cookie take a bite at a terrified carrot running around the stage. Apparently, as part of his deal with the studio, Cookie will now tell "kids" that "A cookie is a sometimes food" and will start giving out healthy eating habits. Does that explain the shiny sheen of his blue coat along with the lack of crumbs?
A spokesperson from the studio has insisted that they're not putting Cookie on a diet but instead teaching him moderation. That makes me a sad Cookie Monster... I do wonder what they'd be doing with Oscar the Grouch.
Over the past few years, Sesame Street characters have taken upon themselves a more political stance as well shaped their furry little characters to more modern day scenarios. So far Big Bird has stuck his feathers in the Middle Eastern peace process as well as the muppet company introducing Jewish and Arab muppets (not in the shape of Osama bin Laden, I can assure you). Elmo has turned into a capitalist and was sponsored by Merril Lynch to explain business to American pre schoolers.
