Default No more cookie monster?

Heard it on the news this morning... they are making cookies a "sometimes" food instead of an "anytime" food.

:edit: Thus the cookie monster is going to eat health food most of the time, and cookies some of the time.

What would you call him then?

Discuss.

I agree, I think that is a subject that I would want to discuss with my child when I have one...

Just like homosexuality and religion and anything else, a parent shoud educate their child before a TV show does....

The Count isn't the only character who has been toned down or underused. In a move that's sure to make an envious Bert even more vulnerable to the blandishments of terrorists, Ernie now gets his own segment on every show. But he spends most of it hiding in a box. "Journey to Ernie" consists of Big Bird looking for Ernie in various places, and then finding him, usually in the third or fourth place. That's it. The segment uses so little of Ernie's goofy, mischievous personality that it's not hard to see it and remember it as having starred Grover.
