It must have been a slow news day. On the Today show this morning, Cookie Monster eschews cookies for . . . fruit.
Matt Lauer: Cookie Monster, the world wants to know-why have you stopped eating cookies? Isn't it true that only moments ago you decided to eat a fruit salad instead of a cookie? So will you have to change your name now? Should we be calling you "Fruit Monster"?Cookie Monster: Well, dat got nice ring to it, but...
Matt Lauer: Cookie Monster, the question on everyone's lips is...
Cookie Monster: That a lot of lips!
Matt Lauer: Why?
Cookie Monster: Me like fruit.
Matt Lauer: And there you have it. Cookie Monster likes fruit, and not cookies.
Cookie Monster: No! You members of the media blow story way out of proportion! Me still like cookies!
Matt Lauer: Then why fruit?
Cookie Monster: Why not fruit? It delicious! And healthy. Me still eat cookies, like me world-famous for doing, but now me eat other things too.
Matt Lauer: So what you're saying is, if I were to offer you this cookie, you would eat it right now?
Cookie Monster: No. Me eat fruit salad...and then me eat cookie for dessert!
I'd make a joke here about how nice it is to know that the quality of the Today show isn't slipping a bit since Katie Couric's departure, but I ain't screwing with Matt Lauer. Dude's buff.

It's a shame that even monsters are hassled by the media. Leave the poor guy alone Lauer!
