Campaigning for the Muppets to host the Oscars

[CherryPizza]

If you don't think hot topics on Facebook and Twitter are headlines, you haven't paid attention to the way the information world is heading

Anyway, in the wake of Eddie Murphy dropping out of hosting the Oscars, a lot of comments have been made about the Muppets hosting the show.

To join in the fun and games, check out https://www.facebook.com/MuppetOscars or @MuppetOscars

Yes but it would be great to have Statler and Waldorf heckling to everyone who wins an Oscar

A fun idea. It'll be a shame when we have to face the reality that the show is in February and there may not be enough time to develop much of a 'concept'.

This just got a mention on NPR's Marketplace Morning Report. Everyone get on twitter and start tweeting.
