In a culture that is driven by make-believe (“Caitlyn Jenner is a woman!” “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot!” “Republicans are conservative.”), it’s only natural that the break-up of two make-believe characters would be treated like an actual news story.
A story in People magazine had said Kermit the Frog wasted no time moving on from his breakup with longtime girlfriend Miss Piggy and was now dating an ABC marketer named Denise.
Not true, says Kermit. They’re just “friends.”
Let’s be honest, Miss Piggy has always been completely self-centered, high-maintenance, manipulative, and at times downright abusive; a typical 21st Century feminist. That’s probably why the feminists gave her an award. She openly flirts with other men in front of him and just expects Kermit to take it.
And basically, Kermit got tired of dealing with her sh-t.
Kind of plays into the social zeitgeist, or whatever. “Empowered” women have become so unbearable that men are not just fleeing marriage, but relationships with women entirely.
At the end of the day, Kermit and Miss Piggy are inanimate pieces of felt and stuffing. Pretending they are real people makes about as much sense as pretending Trayvon Martin was an innocent schoolboy gunned down by a white racist.
I am deeply saddened by the news that the diversity triumph between a frog and a hog has gone sour. We need to rush federal grant money to some fine university to fund a study on whether and how a great example of tolerance fell apart.
It is never good to rely on the internet and blogs for all of your information, but I understand that the frog has taken to smoking blunts and mooning total strangers in the cheese section of Whole Foods. The hog, on the other cloven hoof, is fairly well known to search out derelicts in dark alleys for instant epiphanies. I can not bear the mental images.
It could be because the real Kermit died years ago and this is only some mock Disney replacement.
It’s People magazine. Let’s not take it so seriously. They aren’t exactly known for serious journalism.
Neptune, the link goes to CNN — an alleged “news” network.
Kermit and Miss Piggy would be viewed as delicacies in New Orleans. 🙂
Perhaps it also explains why more and more men are admitting to being more sexually-flexible and open to bromances and male more-then-just-bonding. Now days High School and Jr. HS boys anecdotally self-identify and gay or openly-bisexual — where guys of my generation where still confused and self-closeted well after college.
Who wants to be around “gurls” when they behave so badly towards us.
^Thus giving more credence to Kinsey’s 10% theory. The more closeted people that come out, the greater our numbers.
RE: #5 reply to me above – OH! I didn’t click the link, and thus misread the blockquote.
Let’s face it though – none of our “news” networks bother with news anymore. They are really just entertainment channels now.
Miss Piggy and Kermit are the Kanye and Kim of the animal world.
I had always thought that Kermit could do better.
Fans of the Muppets — or bad celebrity behavior — will have to see how this all plays out on the TV show (which begins September 22, by the way).

Seems like this ‘news story’ is just promo fluff for the new Muppets
Let’s face it, a frog can only bear so much, right Fozzie? My favorite line from The Muppet Movie: “Bear left, bear left!” “Right, Frog!”
Hey, if the femitwits want to send their disgruntled ex-boyfriends my way, I won’t complain.
I always thought Kermit was the victim of “battered frog” syndrome. He went along with Miss Piggy in the public engagement as it meant fewer physical attacks.
I’m glad he’s finally standing up for himself.
VtheK, I’m surprised you aren’t more into Piggy. She fits into your other blog:
