theodp writes "The earliest episodes of Sesame Street are being made available on DVD, but the NYT notes Volumes 1 and 2 carry a rather strange warning: 'These early 'Sesame Street' episodes are intended for grown-ups, and may not suit the needs of today's preschool child.' So why are they unsuitable for toddlers in 2007? Well, in the parody 'Monsterpiece Theater,' Alistair Cookie ? played by Cookie Monster ? used to appear with a pipe, which he later gobbled. 'That modeled the wrong behavior,' explained a Sesame Street executive producer, adding that 'we might not be able to create a character like Oscar [the Grouch] now.'"

thats too fucking crazy

Who gives a fuck?

Being a kid is not appropriate for kids anymore... our schools banned dodgeball, tag, cupcakes, and all fried food. This year the school is also required to file a police report on any kid involved in a schoolground fight, even if they are 3rd grade girls in a lunchroom spat!

That's fucked up.

Here, they send kids home from school if they have unhealthy food like sweets in their lunchbox.

Also the word 'black' is basically erased from vocabulary at schools... :disgust

I'm starting to think George Orwell came really short in "1984"

can understand them trying to introduce healthy foods but reporting grade 3 fights to the police is plain crazy.

take a little bit away slowly and the people won't notice until it's too late.

Welcome to too late.
