Glenn Greenwald Goes to the Big Screen [Dan Collins]

Co-chief executive Lisa Henson said it was the perfect time for a new Fraggot adventure “celebrating diversity and promoting world peace”.

Fraggot Rock was shown worldwide and ran for five series in the 1980s.

“Fraggot Rock has remained a favourite project at our company and has certainly continued to be loved by its many devoted fans, so we are thrilled to begin work on this project,” said Ms Henson.

The television series showed the Fraggots’ interaction with neighbour creatures the Doozers and Gorgs, promoting messages of mutual respect and peace.

    That seems a little out of bounds.

  2. dicentra says:

    Huh? I thought it was Fraggle Rock.

  3. Dan Collins says:

    Both feet were in.  Dragged my toe.  You can see it on the replay.

    Sorry, the name of the show was “Fraggle Rock.” I just got the first season on DVD.  Made in the early 80’s by Jim Hensen and I am pretty sure it played on HBO.  I haven’t watched the videos yet but my hazy memory tells me that it was a funny show.  Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that it will turn into crap when they try and turn it into kids propaganda.  We will end up with a puppet version of “Captain Planet.”

  5. Dan Collins says:

    This is my post, and I say it’s Fraggot.  Sheesh.

    Because nothing would have the little ones beating a path to the television than that!

    Public Televsion or on the Late Daddy Henson’s dime?

    Instructions for the safe use of protein wisdom:

    Imbibe heavily of your favorite alcoholic beverage for the initial use.  The less you understand, the better, so you may eventually understand.  THIS IS NOT ZEN.  It is merely fact.

    That pretty much wraps it up.

    Aummmm…probably the latter until it is donated to the former, at which time it becomes both, what with loss carry-forwards, deductions from gross income, double book-keeping and so forth.  You know, Major, the usual artistic-corporation tax waltz.

  9. Sorry, the name of the show was “Fraggle Rock.”

    It took me from last night until this morning to get the “Fraggot” reference.  Greenwald is gay, see?  Faggot, Fraggot?  LAUGH! IT’S FUNNY!

    Phweet! Kyle’s right.  Out of bounds.  Two post penalty.

  10. Dan Collins says:

    You forgot about the part regarding puppets, Angie.  That’s what makes it funny.  It functions on all kinds of levels.

    WHISTLE

    We have 2 fouls on Mr. Collins because of this post:

    The first violation: overly obscure homophobic wordplay designed to go over the heads of about 40% of PW readers.

    The second violation: use of said homophobic obscurity in conjunction with a beloved children’s cartoon.

    2 15 yard penalties to be served concurrently, loss of down, loss of self respect, loss of all Don Rickles recordings, loss of bowel control and a 6 month probation period with community service consisting of attending at least 6/80’s era concerts with Andrew Sullivan.

    FIRST DOWN

  12. Dan Collins says:

    At least I didn’t say anything about Tinky-Winky. wink

  13. TheGeezer says:

    with community service consisting of attending at least 6/80’s era concerts

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHGGGGGGG

    with Andrew Sullivan

    BANG! [plop]

  14. BJTexs says:

    This is why we have these penalties, Dan, to keep you from jumping screeching over the edge into posting insanity!!!!

    I consider it a public service, a calling, if you will, like actus’ army of feminist muslims…

    No, no please! Your continued grounding is thanks enough…

  15. BJTexs says:

    BANG! [plop]

    Knock it off, geezer. The plop tells me it was a paintball gun…(lol) although you have my sympathy…

  16. TheGeezer says:

    Tinky-Winky

    The thread is now Tinky-Winky slapped.

    Man, what a way to begin the weekend.

  17. You forgot about the part regarding puppets, Angie.

    I didn’t forget.  That part was funny.

    By the way, “Laugh!  It’s funny!” is part of the schtick of schticky comedian Rip Taylor.  Wikipedia informs us:

    Prior to becoming famous, Taylor was a page in the U.S. Senate.

    Perhaps you can make a safe, non-toxic joke out of that.

  18. BJTexs says:

    (many years ago, somewhere in the House chamber.)

    Taylor: “I’m bumming today.”

    Page: “How come, Rip? Did something happen?”

    Taylor: “No, that’s the problem. That dreamy Representative Studds didn’t even try to pick me up.”

  19. Dan Collins says:

    Errrrr, something about his name, maybe?

  20. BJTexs says:

    Studds: “Rip, I would consider doing the horizontal lambada with you, but you’re just too obviously GAY! I have appearances to uphold.”

    “Now Barney over there…”

    “ … messages of mutual respect and peace … ? “

    Will this Left Wing Faggotry never end ?

  22. San Diegan says:

    I just got linked to this shitty blog…Greenwald has more intellect in his gay big toe than this idiot “dan collins”.

  23. Sockpuppet in training says:

    Not only does he have more intellect, but he is smarter too!  Also much more sassy and he looks better in pants!  Has “Dan Collins” ever been quoted on the Senate floor?  I think NOT!  GOOD DAY SIR!

  24. Invictus says:

    Dan Collins is a mental douche, and should stick to doing oil changes at Jiffy Lube rather than voicing his idiotic opinion.

  25. McGehee says:

    Okay Dan. You caught ‘em, you clean ‘em. That’s the rule.

  26. lee says:

    If I may net one for you dan…

    </blockquote>Dan Collins is a mental douche,<blockquote>

    Does this mean that now your cranium is squeaky clean, and free of grey matter?

  27. TheGeezer says:

    Greenwald has more intellect in his gay big toe

    Unfortunately, a gay big toe usually also has (in accord with medical stats) a supressed immune system, at least three genitourinary infections, and a life expectancy of 8 to 10 years less than a straight big toe.

  28. B Moe says:

    Greenwald has more intellect in his gay big toe than this idiot “dan collins”.

    So does he keep the sock puppets on his feet, then?

  29. Big Bang hunter says:

    “Greenwald has more intellect in his gay big toe than this idiot “dan collins”.”

    – Cue the dueling banjo’s and pig squeels…

    MAKEUP! where the hell is my left eyebrow….

    Is it really appropriate for an elementary school principal to make a joke about “faggots” and childrens’ programming?

    I can’t wait to see the episode where the Muslim Fraggot saws the head off of one of the infidel Fraggots because he’s..well..a fraggot. Then the others gather together to sing Kumbaya and try to understand his rage.

    I don’t know.  Why do you ask?
