I found this on YouTube, yesterday.

capri0mniIt's a Muppet Sketch from the Ed Sullivan Show, the May before Sesame Street premiered. Just so you know, it's not intended for a child audience (put behind a cut for the use of a gun / death, in case that's a push-button or trigger).
But I'm posting it because it reminds me of Internet Nasty Trolls, and how to deal with them, and I want to spread some catch phrases (maybe for people to make into icons -- hint! wink!)

Date: 2011-02-03 07:05 pm (UTC)I was thinking about this, as I was drifting off to sleep, and I realized it is just about perfect storytelling.
If the Monster kept pushing her, but never quite got to the point where she had to fight back, then her all-for-the-best attitude would come across as an empty tape-loop recording.
If the tipping point had come at any point sooner, then the girl would have come across as just as petty as he is, and the skit would have come across as a Punch and Judy rip-off.
So the innocent little bird had to die, to show just how "perfectly awful" the monster is.
