Zest Wha?
I agree with Frogboy (even though his post ziffled mine
)
First of all, Kermit's joke wasn't even aimed directly AT Piggy, but rather aimed at the semi-understood notion that "all pigs" love "all frogs", as in, "All frogs are endangered...sheesh, not by pigs again!" Which would be a little like...Joey in Friends being endangered by Blondes. Ish. Bad annalogy, there's no other relationship quite like Piggy and Kermit's to relate it too. I guess it might be kinda like Superman making a joke, "The earth's gunna be destoryed...uch, not by aliens again!" Even though he is an alien, and loves it.
Also, the kiss. If you found that to be something romantic, cheating on Piggyish, or yucky...I really don't get it. It was basically a kid planting a smooch on Kermit like every single other Sesame Street kid would want to do. Every guest star and interviewer wants to kiss Kermit, why was this one so yucky? Sure it was on the lips, but everyone seems to kiss on the lips these days as a greeting not necesserally as a romantic thing. Jullia Roberts does it in movies all the time. I can assure you with this Kermit and kid kiss...it was just a peck on the lips, there was no tounge.
The only thing out of place in this ad was how the girl bearly looked at Kermit...so dissrepectful.
