What happened to Guy Smiley?

Have you seen the Sesame Street video where Oscar the Grouch is a paparazzo and then gets a complaint from a view who says she'll only watch POX news from now on?

More important, do you care?

Assuming this is a dig at FOX news, I still don't get the big deal. Having the show claim you don't have an interest in paparazzi isn't really a slam. Maybe it's because the complainer is an ugly muppet. I'm sure the FOX loyalists are deeply offended by that.

Assuming this is a conspiracy to take down FOX new and finally put Guy Smiley back on the air, I think they're talking to the wrong audience. What little kid knows what paparazzi means? And even if they make the connection to FOX, do you really think they care where their news comes from? When I was watching Sesame Street, I don't recall wanting to watch the news at all, let alone pick the network it was on.

So maybe the little shot wasn't necessary, but I hardly think it did any harm. Now when some anchor on CNN in 30 years accuses a competitive anchor of acting like Oscar the Grouch, then they might have a case.
