Am I the only one having flashbacks to tiny frogs on crutches?

Perhaps I've watched the Muppet Movie a few too many times...

Interesting - reminded me of an episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent from a few weeks ago. http://community.tvguide.com/blog/Law-38-Order/800059387
episode called "Untethered". Seems like there was enough interest in a fictionalized version for L&O's producers to run with it, can't imagine that there wouldn't have been an audience for the real life version, complete with ties to Abu Ghraib when that story first broke. And since when is whether an audience is "sympathetic" to the subject of a story the threshhold for whethere something is newsworthy?

This is all pretty disturbing.
