Snoop Dogg Excited About Appearing In 'Muppets' Christmas Special

He is too threatening for now. But in 10 years from now I really don't think it will be. Just like Alice Cooper was a shocking guest star for his time.

secondly, Matt...please re-read your last post, as i think i know your character well enough to know that what you wrote probably had a better sentiment behind it than what it sounds like. but it sounds pretty bad. just thought i'd point that out so someone new to the group doesn't see it and think bad thoughts...

Okay, I apologize if that post wasn't up to my normal civil standards. I think I did that this morning, coming off of 4 nights straight of 4 hours sleep (each night that is). Topped off with work, I hardly know what I'm saying anymore. Let me fix up that post a bit:

First off, this is one part of any message board I don't like. Its when there are a large mix of posts one various branch-subjects that stem from the main point. I was commenting on one of the branch subjects when I was talking about this special being made for a "target audience." This is in reply to the various people who were saying that it was good to have the Muppets targeted towards an urban community. My point is, why is it good for this to be targetted at them? I mean, what certain people seem to be saying is that Snoop is just a ploy to get these viewers, and my question is, why? Does JHC really need new viewers that much? Have they lost faith in us raising our kids on Muppets? That was that point. Point two for that branch is, what if this "target audience" thing turns out to be a complete failure? What if noone they were expecting to watches it? Then, the rest of the audience is left having to see this unsavory character on the Muppets special, with no ground gained for JHC. Keep in mind that that is in response to people who made the claim of a target audience, just a little late, like I said, because the post had died that while back.

Now, this whole rehashed issue of Alice Cooper is a bit different from Snoop Dogg. I'm not going to go back into detail, because I'm really not as steamed about this thread as I formerly was, but I just want to mention this; Alice Cooper was never put on trial for murder. I don't know for sure, but I don't think he was ever convicted of any major crime. Snoop Dogg is different in that respect, being he was tried for murder (but not convicted) and other charges. Also, Alice Cooper to this day has not made any pornographic features. This is not the case for Snoop, who has made several. I'm not saying that the Muppets should not be performed with by different new faces, just not these unsavory ones! I mean, put on The White Stripes. Put on rappers like Jurassic 5 who actually have brains in their heads. There are many contemporary artists, performers, etc., that are perfect for perfoming with the Muppets. Despite my blatent dislike for Weezer, I don't think it was bad they performed with them (if I said so in the past, I've come around. Let a man live!). I just want what is best for the young kids who will be watching the show, and I don't think Snoop Dogg is that.

There ya go grail, all better. Said in a very straight forward and civil manner. I'd like my dog biscuit now...

>>>Why do we need to have the urban crowd into the Muppets?<<<

I'm curious what type of people would fit into this demographic?

 

[Cantus Rock]

I have no idea seriously. I would suppose the lower class, inner city crowd I would guess. I don't know who they are. The question of the statement is not about the type of person tho Cor. I mean, if they had Steve Forbes on in an attempt to gain an audience of upper-class citizens, I'd be arguing the same way at that point. I don't know why any one group of people should be targeted as an audience. If a family wants to watch the Muppets that's fine. Should production plant ploys to intice people who would normally not watch? I don't think so.
