It's just such overt pandering. I think there is a flag-burning admendment in the works too, but I'm not sure about that.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Because books.
There was one LP figure I didn't like. It was this little kid with an angry expression and freckles and a baseball cap with a turned-up brim and he was clearly very mad about something. I have been told that a couple of times I started crying because he scared me so much.
I remember him! The Little People Bully!

Gordon had an orange body.
Someday, a zillion years from now, a generation of children will wonder why their parents sometimes yodel to themselves, "Gordon. Sooooooosan!"

Yes! He was so clearly a bully! How was he supposed to be fun? "I'm gonna play that he's beating up these other kids. Now he's stealing their car! Whee!"
Ooh, maybe he was there to get thrown into the castle dungeon.

All this Little People talk is taking me to a very funny ROBOT CHICKEN place.

He was always the evil one in our stories.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I had an action figure once. Action Jackson was his name. Bold adventure was his game.

I was waiting for it to get to "Gordon. Sooooooooooosan!"
If you watch Sesame Street today, I *think* Gordon, Susan, Maria and Bob are all on occasionally. Bob's looking a little grey, but Maria is still really young-looking, which makes me wonder if she was, like, 18 when they started taping. (Well, looky here, she's 55 or so now, and started in 1971, so she was about 20 when they started. [link] )

Gordon and Maria seem to be on everytime we watch Sesame Street, but we don't watch it very often. Gordon often does things like having his hand talk to Elmo without ever showing his face, but his voice is unmistakable.
