Miss Piggy is moving on from the Muppet Daily News, to bigger and brighter lights.
How will we ever go on?
Just fine, thanks, but I know the bigger question is how will Miss Piggy survive in the big cruel world outside of our little corner.
Don't get me wrong ... Miss Piggy does a very good job, and has mad-crazy skills.
Work-skills.
As in technical job skills.
But otherwise?
Miss Piggy is in for a rude awakening. The real world, out there, isn't like the Muppet Daily News.
The real world doesn't have a dress code that basically consists of "wear clothes ... please."
The real world doesn't let a person - even a highly skilled Muppet diva - take a 20 minute break only 15 minutes after they show up to work. And another 3 or 4 20-minute breaks throughout the rest of the day ...
.... in addition to a paid hour lunch break.
Sure there are some down sides to the Muppet Daily News world we live in.
We have some high strung, ornery, obstinate my-way-or-no-way Muppets working here.
Miss Piggy should know that though....
Because Miss Piggy is one of them.
In fact, Miss Piggy is one of their leaders.
And I think Miss Piggy may find that Diva-licious attitude doesn't translate well to the real world.
Where temper tantrums - oh, I'm sorry, "artistic temperment expressions" - are frowned upon.
Where saying things without thinking first - particularly if you are in a leadership position - are frowned upon.
Or litigious.
So good luck out there, in the big cruel world, Miss Piggy.
I know you're waiting to take it on.
I just hope you realize it's not waiting for you in the way you expect.
The big, cruel world doesn't realize how FANTABULOUS you are.
But I have no doubt you will be sure to tell them.
Over and over again.
