Godammit. Disney bought the Muppets.

I have a distinct feeling that they’re going to frell this up, just like they did with Winnie the Pooh. Now, I admit I am an A.A. Milne purist, but Pooh does not wear a shirt, except when it’s winter and he wears a little red sweater. Nor is his fur orange. And yet, Disney deemed it necessary to clothe the poor bear and make him a bright unnatural color. What’s next? Will Gonzo’s nose be replaced with something less phallic? Will Miss Piggy and Kermit be “just friends”? Oh dear…
