okay, let me clarify myself a little...
the reason i want this topic to die? frankly, i think it's a stupid topic. and definately not deserving of the THREE threads that have come out of it. he has (now had) a CAMEO in the movie...the word cameo was used in the original statement, i believe. by definition, a cameo is a short appearance. who am i to say that a guy can't make a short appearance with the Muppets because he does things i don't agree with? i know if it were me, and i had a chance to be in a Muppet movie that was scuttled because a bunch of people got cheesed over my...let's say "propensity for colorful language" (something that if people heard me in real life, they would realize i'm using as a real example), i'd be pretty torqued off. believe it or not, i argued that N'Sync should have gotten their Ep II cameo too...sure i loathe the whole lot of them...N'Sync, Snoop, all this mindless drivel that degrades MUSIC to what we're hearing on the radio today.
the nerds cried foul because a, "non-nerd", "band" made it into the (second) biggest nerd movie of the summer.
now the Muppet fans, who by and large are a "family-oriented" group (which i LIKE about us, so no hatemail) are honked off because someone that doesn't represent their view of family values made it in.
i think it comes down to jealousy. in our opinions, they're "unworthy". like WE are. sure it probably happened because of his publicist, but Henson agreed. why not put a little faith in the company that you all worship so much. but no...like petulant children, we whined until we got our way...i'm so proud...
oh, and the biggest reason i made that last post at all? i honestly thought it was kinda rude the way Skeeter was just dismissed like that, and decided to throw in some support.
(man...i'm just killing my popularity points today...i realy hope everyone knows not to take any of this personally. but they are my views, and i am just as entitled as everyone else...)
