So remember when everyone made fun of Cookie Monster for singing a song called "A Cookie is a Sometimes Food"? Here surely was a case of P.C. run amok. "Even the Cookie Monster can't have cookies anymore in this helicopter-parenting culture of ours! How depressing and humorless of them. "
Except that the title of the song is actually kind of a clever, learned reference to a Gershwin number from Porgy and Bess: "A Woman is a Sometime Thing." Which makes it all a much better joke.
The moral: never assume you are cleverer or have a better sense of humor than Sesame Street.
