Underpinning the magic since the very beginning was Jim Henson's strict policy: Each Muppet character can only be performed by his or her specific puppeteer. A bond exists between each Muppet and its performer, creating a spark of individual life which sets the Muppets apart from any other set of family characters.Kermit the Frog was only ever performed by his creator, Jim Henson, from his very first appearance until Jim’s death in 1990. Only then was Kermit entrusted to another puppeteer, Steve Whitmire, who worked closely with Jim and who has carried Kermit’s legacy for over 15 years.Until now.Muppets Holding Company, which owns and controls the Muppets on behalf of The Walt Disney Company, has begun to cast multiple performers for the Muppet characters. MHC now considers the established Muppet performers, whose careers and lives are so closely linked with their characters, to be interchangeable with a roster of anonymous puppeteers.The artists who represent a direct link between Jim Henson and the legacy he left behind are being squeezed out, as MHC creates a fleet of Muppet clones in order to save money and maximize profits.By recasting the Muppets at will, as if they were mascot costumes to be worn by anybody, MHC is turning the characters into instant stereotypes -- reducing them from complex, three-dimensional beings to a list of mannerisms and catchphrases.Without consistent performers, the Muppets will no longer be the Muppets. Kermit the Frog will become Kermit "a" Frog. Fifty years of Muppet history is being thrown aside so that MHC can create an assembly-line of not-quite-Muppets. The craftsmen who originated and honed the Muppet characters have been effectively demoted, becoming part of a pool of on-call impressionists, hired day-to-day based on convenience, cost and the whim of MHC.Already, MHC's plan is seeing fake Muppets being presented to an unsuspecting public: Pale impressions of Statler and Waldorf can now be seen in webisodes at movies.go.com. (Episodes 1-7 are originals; episodes 8 and on are MHC frauds.)Floundering without their regular performers, Statler and Waldorf are shadows of themselves. Jim Henson's iconic Dr. Teeth and even Frank Oz's Animal are reduced to distant imitations. What next? Cloned Kermits will not be far behind.One Muppet, One Voice is your chance to let MHC know that you don't want the Muppets to be handed out to the nearest puppeteer and passed off as the real thing.MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!Write to Muppets Holding Company and tell them you don't want the Muppet characters to be compromised. Tell them, in your own words, why the Muppets are special to you and why you don't want to see them watered down, farmed out or cloned. Be courteous and polite and let them know why you are concerned for your beloved Muppets. Ask for a reply so you know your concerns have been noted.RUSSELL HAMPTONExecutive Vice President/General ManagerMuppets Holding Company1201 Grand Central Ave.Glendale, CA 91201DEBBIE McCLELLANDirector of Creative AffairsMuppets Holding Company1201 Grand Central Ave.Glendale, CA 91201MARTIN BAKERConsultantMuppets Holding Company1201 Grand Central Ave.Glendale, CA 91201You can also give your feedback on the fake Statler and Waldorf appearances at this link: http://movies.go.com/muppets/feedback.

Yeah, a reader. He lost most of his eye site when he was 15 in a football injury and now plays guitar all over the country, singing about God and whatever. He just needs someone to read, I'm assuming, his mail, letters, and emails and what not, aloud to him. He's christian.. not that the fact should make you not want the job. Also, this person would be booking shows and things for him locally and nationally. Pay is minimun wage, but he's willing to pay an addition 30/30/30/40 a week out of his pocket. Pay for the booking part, that varies on how much he gets per show. So you could be getting a couple hundred bucks per show! He only needs someone for about 10 or so hours a week. He wants people to come in this weekend for interveiws. For more detailed information email him @ LarryLambert@earthlink.net | | | | | | Post | | | | | |
