I remember when those first showed up on the Internet back in '99. They were funny then, and they're funny now, and the asshats who fired this talented young woman are tools.
That godawful moronic star puppet sidekick they recently introduced is more offensive by far than anything Melanie might have done in her past. How lame.
It's ridiculous that Melanie would be fired for a 30-second clip that no preschooler in her audience would ever see or be aware of. I doubt more than a few adults would have ever seen this thing again if she hadn't been fired over it. My 10-month-old son loves Melanie, and lights up when she comes on screen, but I somehow doubt he's going to IMDB her and see if she's ever worked blue.
And as far as working blue goes, didn't George Carlin host Thomas the Tank Engine for a few years, without corrupting the preschoolers of America? Hasn't Frank Oz worked on a few R-rated films? Should PBS have fired him, and deprived us of Bert, Grover and Cookie Monster?
And, yes, that star puppet was disturbing. Besides looking freakish, he also sounded like the little kid from The Shining. Every time he came on, I kept expecting...
Melanie: I love doing crafts! What about you, Star?
Star: Redrum! Redrum!!!
Hey boys and girls, let’s play The Morality Game!
Whose face and comments should be on YOUR television screen every day?
Melanie Martinez, the popular and delightful host of "The Good Night Show", who in the past spoofed those ridiculous "public service announcements" on maintaining virginity that are about as convincing as "Reefer Madness" was to preventing marijuana use?
Or a man whose cabal has stolen the Presidency twice, who has killed nearly 2,600 Americans and untold tens of thousands of Iraqis so far, with hundreds of thousands more Iraqis to die long agonizing deaths thanks to the strewing of depleted uranium throughout Iraq, all to ensure that the multinational oil cartel controls the supply of oil and thus can maintain high prices and exorbitant profits?
