The Muppets Gloriously Strike Back Against Fox News
So, if you haven’t heard, a few weeks ago, Fox News aired a segment discussing how the new Muppet movie had a hidden agenda: it wanted to brainwash children against big business.
Let me clarify: Fox News dedicated seven minutes to discussing how THE MUPPETS had a liberal agenda, and Tex Richman (played by Chris Cooper) was designed to make children hate the oil companies. They (minus Caroline Heldman, who seems to be the only person making any sense) also said that big business has been struggling for years with these anti-campaigns, whether it be from Captain Planet or Nickelodeon’s Big Green Help, among others. (I just remember always picking up my litter and recycling…damn you Captain!!!). If you still don’t believe me, watch the clip below. It gets better.
Well now, a new clip from a MUPPETS press conference has made its way online, and it shows Kermit and Ms. Piggy saying what they think of the whole fiasco. All I can say is “Nicely done, guys…nicely done.”
Check it out below. And that Rolls Royce point was pretty damn good, too…
