I'm not sure if this means the 60's were a bad time for children or now is.

i'm not sure why every time sesame street does something everyone gets their panties in a bunch.
I think that they've simply learned how to program for children a little better. The typical fatherly figure just before that was made was always smoking a pipe. It was a warm and comforting figure for most. Why would it be obvious then that Cookie Monster shouldn't smoke a pipe?
Of course we know better the dangers of smoking now. So of course it's a bad idea to broadcast it like that to children.

The irony for me is that my coworkers and I were trying to get onto the Sesame Street website today. BYU's servers blocked it citing it as a pornographic site.

Oh, BYU, how I miss you but not your filters.
