It's Settled

This was such a stupid topic of inane conversation to begin with.
First of all, they're muppets. They're not real people. Second of all, who came up with this ridiculous theory? Third, even if they were real people and not just inanimate characters, isn't homosexuality in today's world supposed to be accepted? Isn't it the "norm" nowadays? And finally, they're beloved characters from a kid's show, do you really think for one second that the children watching this show even cared or moreover do they even fully understand what to be gay is?
And, like I said, wasn't all this ridiculous anyways? I was pretty upset (even as an adult who still has a guilty pleasure of watching classic clips on YouTube and sites of that variety) that they took Bert and Ernie off the air because a couple of uptight people didn't like that a pear-headed and football-headed buddies lived together.

Let's deal with the real issues of this show, such as:
Why is the Cookie Monster now the "Carrot Monster?" Why does Oscar the Grouch no longer live in a trash can? Apparently because it's an insult to homeless people?? Why can everyone all see Mr. Snuffalupagous now? Was it to prove to everyone that Big Bird wasn't on LSD?

Ah, why do they have to screw with my childhood?
