Just posted a blurb about this in my Blog and thought some of you might be interested - it's from the Louisville Courier-Journal and is about that fact that (duh) puppets aren't just for kids.

`Ya gotta love how clued-in the media is. :rolleyes: To be fair, it's not the worst of these articles I've seen in the last year and I agree that "it's sad to see Kermit and Miss Piggy pitching Pizza Hut alongside Jessica Simpson."

Actually I loved seeing that commercial for the first time, the megaphone thing was SOOOO Piggy that I laughed hysterically and my husband came in wondering what the **** was wrong with me....... why doesn't he get it?? lol

Anyway, I thought it was cool to see the Muppet characters making it on the big screen again...... but I'm sure Piggy will pitch a fit once she realizes that she's the starlet of a pizza commercial instead of some over dramatized romance movie or soap show with Jessica Simpson and Kermit.
