C is for COOKIE! I don't care what PBS thinks.

What kind of crazy train is PBS (or the Sesame Street creators) riding on? Channel 5 News is telling me that my beloved Cookie Monster will be stripped of his cookies, and will tout the benefits of healthy eating instead. No more will I hear the lyrics "C is for cookieee, that's good enough for me...OH C is for cookie..." or "Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!"! No longer will the furry ,blue, googly eyed monster devour cookies messily and with great relish. I'm sorry, but the preview shown is not so catchy. Apparently the powers that be think that with childhood obesity on the rise, Cookie Monster should be their scape-goat. Oh Cookie Monster! I'll smuggle some contraband cookies to you. Somehow the moniker 'Good-for-you-healthy-snacks Monster' just does not cut it.
