Now I won't get into the obvious prejudices and racism that would be present if such a world existed (been there done that), except to say there definitely would be racism and speciesism within the puppet community (this type of infighting would get them nowhere), and of course there would be feltist's who believed that the Muppets should get separate but equal treatment, and perhaps even some extreme feltism....
But like I said, I am not here to imagine the inherent flaws in a Muppet/Human society. No, I like to discuss the potential Awesome-osity of such a world.
MUPPETS ARE AWESOME!
That is a indisputable fact. Therefore, Muppets added to any situation in our history would immediately make that moment awesome. Could you imagine:
But seriously, I pray EVERYDAY for an alien invasion of fury, felt, friendly aliens with googley eyes, skinny little legs, and giant hearts. These would-be invaders would want nothing more than to: carve out a nice little community in Greenwich Village, dance by flailing their arms around, and put on a variety TV show. If they ever do arrive, I suggest we give them that chance.
But alas, the consensus amongst Scientist's states that our universe has been, and forever will be, constantly expanding. Moreover, who knows how far the Muppet Galaxy is from our own? It could be on the other side of our rapidly expanding universe. Even if it was the next galaxy over, it would still be hundred's of light-years away from our own. Humanity has yet to develop the technology to transverse this great distance, and our the otherworldly Muppet counterparts are surely too busy dancing like no one else is watching. I am completely certain that they have not yet developed warp drives, or discovered how to travel at a rate faster than the speed of light.
It seems we are like Tom Hanks and Wilson, forever floating apart.... and now I've made myself sad.
- An Awesome Veitnam War?
- An Awesome Great Depression? (The Great Awesome?)
- Awesome-ER Moon Landing?
- Awesome Trench Warfare?
- Awesome Witch Trials?
- Awesome Evolution from Homo-erectus to Homo Sapien?
- Awesome Cuban Missle Crisis?
- Awesom Holo...
