Cookie Monster Description
Cookie Monster loves cookies. He also loves to eat fruits, vegetables, tables, chairs, etc... He is a shaggy, blue Muppet with "googly eyes," that is, eyes with pupils that twirl around when he moves. Despite his obsession with cookies, Cookie Monster is very good natured and is a good friend to others. Emotionally, physically, and spiritually attached to cookies, at first glance the world’s most famous monster appears to have a one-track mind. But in actuality Cookie Monster is a deeply complicated individual. A monster of economy, he can convey worlds of meaning with a simple gesture. A common thought on the Cookie Monster is that he smoke's too much marijuana and always has the munchies. Sure, I subscribed to this theory as an undergrad, I now believe there is a deeper meaning. Like most Americans, the Cookie Monster is in a constant state of consumption. It may look like he's devouring Chips Ahoy, but all that chocolatey goodness is a symbol for deeper American problems. Whether you're Super-Sizing your McDonald's value meal or buying your newborn baby expensive Air Jordans, it's all the same addiction. We think material goods make us happy, but the more we have, the more we want. When all we really need is a hug.
