		dragontamer on Dec 8, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How Elmo Ruined Sesame Street The main problem with this article is that it makes the "Why Snoopy ruined Peanuts" article utterly redundant. Its clear that the author is just taking "Why popular character X ruined (show) he was from" as a formula. http://kotaku.com/how-snoopy-killed-peanuts-1724269473 I guess its interesting from a sense of irony or maybe a creative exercise. But it almost feels like textbook "clickbait".

The author wrote that article too.

The author says he's a teacher, I'd be interested to know if he has children himself.

Maybe he has a boilerplate that he reuses.
