A cookie catastrophe

I was watching the June 19th edition of the Colbert Report (viewable in its entirety online in Canada and the United States) and stumbled across a disturbing conversation:

Colbert: Mr. Monster, why have you abandoned cookies?

Cookie Monster: Me not abandon cookies. Me love cookies. Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya. But, one cannot live on cookies alone. No. Me now know that cookies are sometimes food. Ya.

Colbert: Right. Because sometimes you have to pause and open a new sleeve of oreos.

Cookie Monster: No. You eat cookies after you eat healthy food like soup or vegetables.

It seems like my world has been turned upside-down, and there's CBS news to corroborate this tragic tale. Next thing you know, N.T. Wright and the Cookie Monster will appear on the same TV show.
