This is an actual cover from Sesame Street Magazine, 1976. This was before Muslim radical fundamentalists began to hate us for our freedoms.
I don’t know what’s more hard to believe; that the Cookie Monster exists, but he is much larger then we thought or that he enjoys eating concrete buildings, not cookies. I know from experience that the two don’t taste anything alike.
Except fat-free cookies.
For some reason, the Cookie Monster never struck me as being a terrorist. Sure, he has the word monster in his name, but he also has the word cookie.
I think the two words cancel each other out.

/ January 3, 2009Rick, it is easy to see the Crescent Moon in the background pointing ominously at field operative “C.M.” And according to historical documents of that day, C.M. was overheard saying,”"Om nom nom nom,” which to me is vicariously the same as ” I want to eat a part of it, New York, New York.” How he escaped justice is a sad commentary on the U.S. judicial system. And if you break down C.M’s name, it really means this: cookie – somebody who is regarded as being of a particular type or disposition, monster – somebody whose perceived inhumanity or vicious behavior terrifies and disgusts people… that bastard!
