'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If it helps it make any more sense, nutrition is going to be the big theme of the season this year on SS. And I think the target audience is the kids whose parents aren't paying so much attention as 'ista parents to what their kids eat.
Not that I'm thrilled with most of the changes (I can really respect the Snuffy one, even if there's less romance), either. Frakking Elmo, particularly.
Who are the Aspers, and how much did they pay to buy Canada?
I've never actually seen Elmo on SS. Why does he suck?
Well, it's been bought by the Aspers, who are big Liberals, I think.
Oh, is that right? I guess I still have that knee-jerk Conrad Black reaction when I see National Post.
Elmo has become more or less the main character on Sesame Street (which used to be Big Bird). At the very least, he's the one with all the merchandise.
The problem with Elmo, imo, is that he's 3. He talks and acts like a 3-year-old, whereas almost all the other characters (with the exception of Zoe, who's about the same age), are significantly older, and thus less with the crazy-making for grown-ups. At the same time, I've always been a fan of "Kids will learn to talk like adults best if they're exposed to people talking like adults". And Elmo so doesn't.
The article said that some Canadian would point that out.
Yep, and it proceeded to call the website "official" anyway. The National Post doesn't speak for me.
Looks like they've got us over the barrell on this one...
Also? Can spell barrel.
Perhaps someone should mention Canadian oil fields to Bush?
Lalala, world's largest undefended border.
Also, wasn't Elmo's pelt turned into a Willow outfit?
Although I suppose that wasn't his fault.
Perhaps someone should mention Canadian oil fields to Bush?
Canada actually has a shitload of oil, but it's all locked up in shale (or some other rock) so it's expensive to get the oil out, as well as environmentally damaging.
Elmo is the Spike of Sesame Street. Adorable and very popular minor player who was promoted to WAY THE FUCK TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME, and has started sucking ever since.
