| Introduction | I happen to have a longer history than most people might first think. I was originally born in 1966 on a commercial for general foods. I was one of three monsters that ate cookies; each having been drawn by Jim Henson. Though, these commercials were never aired, IBM happened to find me and used me in a training video in 1967. From there my career skyrocketed. I made my first appearance on national television on December 2, 1969 on a children's series called Sesame Street. This was back in the good ol' days, back when the show wasn't so politically correct. That gig lasted until 2006 when I was fired for another monster--one that looked like me--but ate only vegetables. They called this guy the veggie monster. The nerve of this guy, after nearly 40 years to come in and steal my gig. Veggies aren't even that great. I mean, come on, Chocolate Chip Cookie, or Uncooked Broccoli? Yes, that's right, all you adults chose the Chocolate Chip cookie; why should the kids need to chose the other? |
