(no subject)

OK. We have previously established in these pages that Oscar the Grouch is actually a Time Lord, and his trash can a TARDIS.

I wish to suggest that the magician's rabbit is also a Time Lord, and the top hat also a TARDIS.

Let the fanfic commence.

This idle thought brought you you by Sesame Street and the rabbit's expressed wish that he not be thought of as "an appearing and disappearing object."

OK. This is getting ridiculous.

When Sesame Street started going to 40, I thought "Well, this happens."

When words like "camouflage","humongous", and "incognito" became words of the day, I thought, "OK, they're pitching an older audience..."

But when they start teaching about objectivity and subjectivity? I mean, how do they expect the kids to grasp that in the lupine narrative, the rabbit is an appearing and disappearing subject? Don't we think this critical thinking is going too far, too soon?

What's next? Frank Gehry redesigns Sesame Street, and we learn how to appreciate the metanarrative crafted through the interwoven strands of Abby's schooling, Elmo's entire existence, and the mise-en-scene of Sesame Street, with the fourth segment serving as thematic counterpoint? ;)

If you think two years old is too young to start teaching our children that all people (and, er, bunnies) have their own stories in which they are the central subject, not merely objects to be acted upon by the dominant narrative--then we need to have a talk.
