Get Behind the Monster Revolution

For awhile, the Monster Movement has been brewing beneath the glossy American blue collar society. This is something that high society has ignored, deciding instead of giving monsters their rights to free assembly and equality, they have proved imperially to squelch the Monster Revolution.

Most of us dont give monsters a second glance. We assume that those scary or hilarious creatures that frighten or entertain us are just figments of our imagination. People cant believe that these entities have feelings, emotions, and lives like humanity. In fact, its the greater denizens of Monstropolis (their self proclaimed capital city, existing more in a state of mind than a physical location), that have begun to bring the fight for Monster Rights to the forefront of American culture.

But the battle to secure equal rights among all Monstrosity has delivered a stinging blow to Capitol Hill, one that our current administration thought they wouldnt have to deal with before this president left office. Yet it is this reason, many pundits are citing as the cause for the Monstrous push towards Monster Rights.

As predicted years before by the venerable Wolfman, before his retirement, he proclaimed that the Monster movement would run our country up the flagpole before the end of the century. While Wolfman was off by a few years, he was right about what has followed- a high-brow successful Monster Parade through which many venerable names are passing through and taking their screen time in an attempt to gain more attention for their cause.

Just this week on Anderson Cooper, Petes Dragon, the elder fantasy comedian from a land called HonnaLee, exclaimed his utter dismay about his lack of Social Security benefits (not to mention royalties he claims are being hoarded by CBS, like one of those [expletive] [leprechauns]!) Larry King interviewed reemerging mega-star Grendel, the star and namesake of Londons brand new opera. Grendels reaction to Julie Taymours decision to make Grendel the sympathetic character, rather than the spiteful beast he has been known for three thousand odd years, seems to portray what many of us already know: Hollywood is always attempting to be on the cusp of the liberal good fight. While J-Tays heart may be in the right place, we must wonder how much she is helping the situation; could her actions be hurting the Monster Revolution as a flag-waving, armband-wearing, reactionary for the left, and will the world wide conservatives use Londons Royal Opera company as a political punching bag to subdue this high-profile event?

Either way, other celebrities, from The Big Bird and Snuffleupagus, Bunson and Beaker, to Puff the MD, and the Asian Ambassador Godzilla; what happens to Monstropolis is in all of our hands. Where do you stand America? Where do you fall on the Monster Line?
