AOL - On March 3, workers at a Circle K convenience store alerted police that a shoplifter had just made off with a $1.19 package of "Pink White" cookies...The suspect, identified as 18-year-old Sebastian Esteban, was "chewing and licking as crumbs fell from his lips," according to an affidavit obtained by WPTV.com. When the deputy confronted Esteban, the suspect allegedly offered an explanation straight out "Sesame Street." "Ya, I stole the cookies, I'm the cookie monster," he reportedly stated. Esteban has been charged with misdemeanor petty theft and resisting arrest without violence.
This sort of relates to the story about the guy downloading frog porn, presumably from all the tales of the Princess and the Toad he heard as a child. If we continue to teach our children about these screwed up characters we shouldn't be so shocked when they emulate them later in life.
Kids are very impressionable, teaching a kid that a character named "the cookie monster" who goes around thieving and eating everyone's cookies without permission is a loveable character is obviously going to lead to this. Frigen guy was a petty thief and everyone just turned a blind eye towards it on Sesame Street, like "Oh, that's just cookie monster again, raiding my panty drawers looking for cookies to munch, isn't he funny." No! That's a pervert rummaging through your underwear, get your head out of your ass.
By the way who calls the cops over a $1.19 pack of cookies? Don't convenience stores just write that off? I thought they put out those cookies expecting them to be stolen but to lure me in for bigger ticket items. Is this wrong?
