Anyway, I own 'The Muppet Movie', and 'The Muppets Take Manhattan' DVDs. I have always respected Kermit and Miss Piggy's interracial relationship. I never judged Animal. I laughed at Fozzie's jokes. Even though my respect has never waned, I know times have gotten tough. With CGI, kids nowadays just don't think a frog riding through Central Park on a bicycle is that impressive. I can get over the fact that Kermit and Miss Piggy are slinging dough at Pizza Hut. I can even get over the fact that 'The Muppets Treasure Island' was made. However, there is one thing that is killing me. Take a look at Ford's new hybrid commercial . . . Kermit is now a shill for Ford.
In the online commercial, Kermit is enjoying the outdoors while singing ‘It Is Not easy Being Green.’ Suddenly Kermit sees a Ford Escape Hybrid and says, "I guess it is easy being green." I know making money in Hollywood is no easy task. I have seen many a dream crushed, including my own. (Anyone want to buy a reality TV show?) It is just sad to me to think that Kermit needs money so badly that he would take a job for the company that dumped toxic chemicals in New Jersey. Poor Kermit! I know he has pride, but he could have asked me or Dr. Bunsen Honeydew for some cash before it came to him selling his soul to the Devil. Ford doesn't care about him. Just watch the commercial. They don't even make him wear a helmet when he is mountain biking. It is a sad sad day for Muppets everywhere. Next you are going to tell me that the Doozers are building casinos for Trump. Stop the madness.
