After Kermit the Frog’s unceremonious firing from The Muppets last week, we’ve all been heavily anticipating his comeback and wondering what he’s gonna do next. But now rumors are surfacing that he’s been scheduled for a four-month song-and-dance routine at SeaWorld. Sea. World.
We knew this was a rough time in your life, Kermit, but SeaWorld?
We all know SeaWorld’s track record of treatment of marine life. Imprisonment of thousands of sea creatures. A cruel program of breeding and captivity of intelligent killer whales. An all-you-can-eat buffet consisting entirely of shellfish pulled from exhibits. All of which now have Kermit’s personal seal of approval.
Talk about Stockholm Syndrome!
It’s a shame that Kermit’s going along with this, because SeaWorld’s plan is so obvious. As long as they can get one amphibian onboard with their nefarious plans, they can say “oh it’s okay! Kermit’s cool with it”. And just like that, the marine community is once again divided on the subject.
Well Kermit, it’s not easy being green, but it shouldn’t be too hard to not sell out an entire taxonomy. YOUR taxonomy.
