Visceral Example of Real Time CoExistent Human/RP Identity

The Muppets again. This time with a video that brings the image from my prior post on the topic to life. A few minutes into the clip, Jim Henson talks about why Kermit is perceived as a unique living character even when Henson is clearly visible and moving his lips when Kermit is speaking. The playlist for the entire show is here.

For Those Uncomfortable with The "Gender" Issue

Dear Miss Piggy,

I was shocked and disappointed to learn today that you are not really a woman, but a man named Frank Oz. People have feelings! Poor Kermit must be heartbroken.

Can you imagine how sickened people were to find that the adorable little coquette they've had crushes on for all these years has a penis. Don't you have any shame? Now I have to wonder about all of you Muppets. Next thing you know, Cookie Monster is going to come out as a cross-dressing dyke. It just makes my skin crawl.

Just because newfangled television technology can let you pretend to be something you're not, it doesn't mean you have to start "experimenting" with us as the guinea pigs.

Take my advice MR. PIGGY and be content with who you REALLY are.

Sincerely,
