Zeitgeist - and not the documentary, the actual german word. Its a sign of the times - I wouldn't be surprised if they will have Burt and Ernie be a gay couple and get married. Maybe one of the other puppets will come out as transgender.

The children should learn that inter-species sexual relationship between a pig and a frog is against nature and can not last. Also it's a vehicle to teach them about divorce...many kids have to go through it.

It's more news, than it is a conspiracy.

It isn't news to me. This, despite I had not before heard of it.

I imagine the message they're supposed to take away is that kids going through a similar situation will have something they can relate to and hopefully it will give them a way to healthily contextualize a pretty messed up situation.

I don't know if you think it's going to harm the kids because then they'll be aware of the existence of divorce and they should be shielded from such things. I don't really see a problem.

It's more like...the news is being used for nonsensical bullshit like this instead of real topics. It's just an example of how ridiculous it has become.

That makes sense. Maybe I'm reading into it too much.
