'Kermit Doesn't Wear Pants': One Million Moms Warns Parents New 'Muppets' Isn't 'Family Friendly'

Not The Onion!

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/_kermit_doesn_t_wear_pants_one_million_moms_warns_new_muppets_tv_show_isn_t_family_friendly

Finally, after nearly four decades, "The Muppets" is returning to network TV tonight. The show will be aimed at a more mature audience, even those who enjoyed the original show as children, and since the nation has grown up a bit since it premiered in 1976, it likely will include some more mature humor. After all, Kermit and Miss Piggy have split, there's a new woman in Kermit's life, and Miss Piggy has shed a few pounds. Things change over the course of 39 years....

"1MM suspects there are going to be a lot of shocked moms and dads when they discover that the family-friendly Muppets of the 1970s are no more. It appears that no subject is off limits," the low-budget email address collecting fundraising arm of the anti-gay hate group American Family Association warns parents....

"It's sort of an adult Muppet show," Kermit the Frog said during a promotional video for the show. One ad read, "Finally, a network TV show with full frontal nudity."

"Technically, the advertisement is correct – seeing how Kermit doesn't wear pants," One Million Moms actually states, presumably with a straight face.

Anyway, Cole needs to take a pill (but not a birth control pill, those are from Satan!) and chill out. This show is obviously being marketed to all those of us who are A CERTAIN AGE, who grew up on the Muppets. And if the kids watch it, meh, they won’t get the grown-up jokes.



And as always, Cole and her “one million” friends are invited to remember that the world does not exist to cater to the needs and desires of whiny-ass fundamentalist Christian assholes who really aren’t the target audience for “the arts” anyway. Turn the fuckin’ TV off and we dunno, get a job or something. Will your husbands allow that? Meh, not our problem.

Well except for SpongeBob, and we know what an LGBTQ mole he was. I mean square pants? How obvious can you be?

It was hilarious, especially with how serious he was about putting pants on animals

So why does he wrap a to well around his waist after he showers?

Why is it that Cap'n Crunch's eyebrows are on his cap?
