Jarrod Fairclough is Outraged

Well, it's happened... The Muppet Mindset has caused an international incident. Yes, two of our frequent contributors (and one antagonizer) have entered into a feud with each other... and since one's from Great Britain and the other is from Australia and The Muppet Mindset is based in the United States we've got a three-way international war erupting in our midst! Don't believe me? Well... read on!


Jarrod Fairclough is Outraged

Jarrod Fairclough - I am outraged, Muppet fans. Absolutely sick to my scorn.  The last time I was this outraged was when Ke$ha released that awful “Turn It Up” song... Man I hate her.

But alas, Ke$ha is not the reason I am so outraged. No, Muppet fans. The reason is because of someone on this very blog. Someone we all know, and yet none of us trust. Especially not Ryan’s cat... I’m hoping everyone here has gone and looked at The Muppet Mindset’s "About Us" page. If not, go and have a look, because it has some great bios of the staff and frequent contributors to the blog, of which I am one.  And with these bios are some photos.  There’s myself with Bert, Ryan with Zoe, Lisa the Intern with an awesome blue Whatnot.  But... Wait a second... The British Correspondent has a photo of himself with a question mark over his face...

And this is where the outrage comes in...

QUESTION MARKS ARE MY THING ON THIS BLOG! For a few months now, I’ve been writing a series of article’s entitled “?”. See that? See the title. It’s a question mark. And yet The British Correspondent reckons he can just waltz in with his mysteriousness, and claim the question mark? Look at my logo:

See, it’s a question mark. With Kermit’s head as the dot. A QUESTION MARK!

So here is my message to The British Correspondent. You can do what you like to this blog when Ryan leaves it with you. You can do whatever you did to that poor cat as much as you like. You can be all mysterious. But if you don’t change that About Me photo, and swear off question marks, then be prepared for me to reveal who you actually are! Okay, Mr Bean? You got me, Black Adder??? Listening, James Bond? No, not James Bond. He has too much class to steal someone’s question marks.

Your move, British Correspondent.

The Muppet Mindset does not support this feud, nor do we plan to get in the middle of it or pick sides... but we do enjoy watching it.

Updates to The Muppet Mindset

Because we're living in the progressive age, The Muppet Mindset is always progressing, updating, and aging (gray hairs... sheesh). But, in this process of aging... we mature. And as we mature, our layout matures with us. (Captivated yet?) First we started by adding new pages to our main page, such as "About Us," "Interviews" and "Weekly Muppet Wednesdays." Well, our quaint maturation has come full-circle, and here we are with a major overhaul of these pages. Here's an overview of what we did...

• Our About Us page has been updated with new guidelines for submission of articles. As always, we are still thrilled to take any and all Muppet-related articles written by fans like you. We've just spelled out a brief outline to how to go about the submission process and what article series we are currently taking submissions for. Also on the About Us page, we have brand new details, pictures, and information about the staff of The Muppet Mindset and some of our most frequent contributors.
• Our Links page has also been updated slightly. We've moved the images representing various Muppet fan sites to alternating sides of the page. We've done the same on our Muppet Comic Mondays page as well.
• One of our biggest updates is on our Interviews page. We've added pictures and information about each of the wonderful people we've had the pleasure of interviewing. Starting with Jerry Nelson and working down to Dave Hulteen, Jr., we've cataloged all of our interviews in one convenient location where you can find out something about the interviewee before reading the whole interview.
• On our Weekly Muppet Wednesdays page has had an extreme update as well. We've added images and sparse information about every Muppet we've ever spotlighted on the blog. We included performer information, first appearance, and best known role.

Let us know what you think of these new updates and check back tomorrow for another exciting installment of one of our favorite interviews ever!
