Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Am I getting worked up over nothing? Muppet Mess: Miss Piggy Forced to Choose Between Her Dog and Her Frog - Stars and Pets, Dogs : People.com Yes, I know it's a tongue in cheek article about a bunch of puppets, but I think the underlying message is wrong.

| Kids get so many screwy messages these days its a wonder any every grow up whole and normal about anything. It is a wreckless message for poor pooches.

| I don't like it one bit. Tongue in cheek or not it sends the wrong message. Miss Piggy was always an idiot anyway.

| I don't really understand why this had to occur in the story at all? What's the point? Teaching people it's cool to re-home your animals if your partner doesn't like them or vice versa? Because there aren't things like TRAINING out there. Sigh. I told my boyfriend about my dog before we even became official and flat out told him that she's a vital part of my life and goes where I go, even if we live together. She's my deal breaker. XD Don't like her? Too bad!

On a serious note, Piggy should have fake tanned herself into bacon. Sadly, kids get stupid messages daily. Heck, they'll let any idiot be a parent....Yet you need a license to hunt...Irony.

| Wow... That's a terrible twist in the plot. There's definatly something wrong in that message. what people will do for media is crazy these days but this is definatly wrong on a lot of levels. Piggy should have left the frog if she had to... Plain dumb. |
