    Disney owns the rights to the Muppets they therefore can call them what ever the hell they want since they will only be hurting their own bottom line.

    So, all that means to you, if you have non-adult children, is that you will be able to choose whether or not your kids see this (giving you an opportunity to talk to them about the content). Are you against parental involvement, just as a general rule?

    Oh my goodness, you seem upset. Verily, verily I say unto thee: do not take your anger to bed with you. Pray, PRAY to the dear Lord Jeebus that this anger will escape your body before you sleep!!!

    Just curious: how do snowflakes sleep???

    Seems like a pretty damned good set of two statements there.

    Here, let me translate that into low-information-voterease for you:

    "this show has some really stupid, shitty racist crap in it, but some good moments, too. We are keeping it on the air so that you can scorn the ******* characters who do this racist crap. And besides, we still want to earn lots of money!"

    I do hope that helped.

    G-d bless us all, especially Tiny Tim, I always say.

    The erudite wisdom of this statement smells much like a beautiful rose that was trampled in the men's room of a truck stop on I-75.

    Why, let's just cancel congress and Trumpy things up, by golly!!!

    Attention, Achtung, Attention s'il vous plait:

    this is what happens when low-information extremely trumpy right wing voters think that the entire Earth revolves only around them and how dare Disney do anything they don't like!!!

    I think that if I now invest in smelling salts for my very esteemed Right Winged friends, I am gonna make a fortune.

    Sometimes it is fun to watch projection, but more often than not is is really quite boring.

    I do admire your willingness to expose that the previous pres still holds power in your mind and that you would sniff roses left on the men's room floor at truck stops.

    I made a bad joke and your reply made it funny. Thanks!

    No such luck. I simply declined to try to reason you out of a position you did not reason yourself into.
