Oh, Kermit is so sad! These are magnificent.

Oh look! I found some history about Guy Debord's "The Muppets":

Though the name "Guy Debord" is now synonymous with two things: Situationist philosophy and The Muppets, this pairing of passions was not as easily reconciled as you might think. "I had to fight really hard not to be pigeon-holed as a Marxist theorist in the puppeteering community," Debord once said. "They told me 'Kids don't want to hear about how the concrete life of everyone has been degraded to a speculative universe, Guy.' I said 'How about we let the children decide that?'"

Decide they did.

Years later, we remember him as both a Marxist visionary who criticized societies where modern conditions of production prevail in which all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles, and the beloved man who brought Kermit, Miss Piggy, as well as many other characters into our hearts.

Resistance from puppeteers was not Debord's only concern, unfortunately. As his interest in puppetry grew, fellow Situationists criticized Guy for contributing to the very capitalist media they accused of sedating the masses. Now Debord was being questioned on both sides.

Debord recalled this difficult period with wistful optimism. “Sometimes you just have to follow your dreams. See what's on the other side of the rainbow." His Marxist compatriots were less fond of this rainbow connection. Like so many images detached from every aspect of life fused into a common stream in which the unity of this life can no longer be reestablished, rainbows are visions—but only illusions.

"So now I'm in a place where they're throwing around words like 'marketing' and 'franchise' and 'the spectacle commodity' and I'm like guys, what's with all this infighting? Why can't you just try to accept that I see this as self-expression of my art, not the nightmare of imprisoned modern society which ultimately expresses nothing more than its desire to sleep? Why can't we be together again?"

Without the support of his Situationist friends, Debord stood to lose everything. One night while walking down a street under the moon and lamenting his emotional status in the form of a choreographed song, an idea struck him. “It was pretty bold. But it had just the right amount of pizazz to impress the Situationist execs.” Debord arranged for all of the Situationists to be brought into an old theater, where he told them there would be a talk on commodity fetishim. Instead, they were shown Debord's first full-length feature film starring The Muppets.

Though at first rabbling and general outcry sounded in the audience, when theorists saw Debord's Muppets for themselves, they were quickly won over by the lovable banter between Kermit and Piggy, an ensemble cast of spectacular variety, and endless musical numbers. The rest is Marxist and puppet history.

Printing out the Gonzo one about boredom. FOR REAL. I haven't been bored since I was eleven when someone told me "Boredom is the ultimate insult to oneself." I realize there are exceptions--those poor souls in solitary confinement--but at this point in my life, I would occasionally welcome boredom once in a great while.

The lovers, the dreamers, the spectacle. (This is great even though I've never actually read any Guy Debord.)

Yes this is excellent on many levels.

Brilliant. And also very funny.
