Did You Know That We Learn Stereotypes As Children?
So...The 'Avatar' thread, where popular Sesame Street characters were discussed, prompted us to think about how popular kid's show characters would be 'labeled' in today's society...
What started out as an off-handed remark about Snuffy and Eeyore being 'emo', turned into an entire discussion here (Hey, it was fun...Seri and Stupid Shane chimed in, too :p)
So...I'll give you what we came up with...Then you guys give us some of yours :)
Sesame Street:
Big Bird: Jock
Elmo: Crackhead...Speed Freak
Cookie Monster: The Fat Guy
Bert and Ernie: Gay couple
Oscar: Metalhead
Grover: Nerd/Geek
The Count: Goth
Snuffy: Emo...or...STONER (think about it, his eyes were always half-closed, and the way he walked and talked ;))
Muppets:
Kermit: Popular Nerd
Miss Piggy: Slut/Preppy
Gonzo: Freak
Animal: Metalhead/Stoner
Fozzy: Funny Guy/Dweeb
Winnie The Pooh:
Pooh: The Fat Guy
Tigger: Crackhead/Speed Freak
Owl: Nerd
Rabbit: OCD Geek
Eyeore: Emo/Stoner
Piglet: Effeminate/Gay
Christopher Robin: Prep
Opinions?...Got anymore?
