Isn't it ridiculous that this very simple statement of fact had to come from muppets on a children's TV show? What happens to humans between the time they're in the Elmo demographic and the time they actually get to make decisions?
Incidentally, I feel rubbish today and this has cheered me up no end. Thank you, dear.
I never take advice from Elmo because Elmo's a chump. But I'm a girl of the pre-Elmo period. My advice was taken from the likes of Kermit, Grover, Oscar, Cookie Monster, Herry Monster, The Count and Tele Monster. I also looked up to Miss Piggy a great deal, when she'd make little unexpected cameos.
I get why people hate on Elmo, but I love him. I took my inspiration as a child from Oscar and now I use Elmo to cling to a time when I too was cute and never shut the fuck up.
I didn't like Sesame Street much as a kid because I KNEW they were trying to 'EDUCATE' me and I didn't like that. TV was for being entertained, thank you very much. Except Oscar. He fucking rocks.
I was a muppet whore, I would watch anything Jim Henson, so I was religious in my twice-daily Sesame Street viewings, plus extraneous tv shows that were made by Henson Studios.
I don't hate Elmo to the point where I'd stick pointy things in a toy of him or anything, I just miss Grover memorabilia.
