Early episodes of Sesame Street are being released on DVD — with a warning that they are intended for grown-ups and may not suit the needs of today’s preschoolers.

Cookie Monster is headed for diabetic coma, an elderly man takes a lost girl home with him, Oscar is in need of some serious mental health, and the ghetto never looked like that.

Virginia Heffernan of the New York Times blog The Medium argues that the vintage Sesame Street characters couldn’t make on T.V. today.

When I was a kid I was able able to handle watching Cookie Monster holding a pipe, which he later eats.

Is the destiny of our children to live in a pure transparent bubble to be politically correct?

I don’t even want to think how many “Adult Content XXX” labels will get one of my favourite tv programs when I was a kid back in the early 80’s in Spain called “La Bola De Cristal”. (See an example)

MADELMAN, one of the best action figures ever made, will celebrate its 40th birthday next year .

They were fully articulated figures of an extraordinary quality and diversity. Created in Spain by MADEL and EXIN in the 60’s, MADELMAN has already become a true legend in some countries of Europe and even in the U.S.A. Nevertheless, it’s a shame that these figures are still unknown for many collectors, since they are perfectly comparable, if not better, to other lines like G.I. JOE, BIG JIM, MEGO or MARX, all of them manufactured at the same time.

I have always been a big fan of this figures, since I was 4 or 5 years old and I used to play with them in my cousin’s house.

Here is a small tribute to the best action figures ever made, a photo session of two figures from my collection:

See all photos.

For anyone being interested in German experimental noise bands from the late 1970s and early 1980s:

I have just come back from a little holiday in the province of Almería, Southern Spain.

Many Spaghetti Western films such as ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ and ‘A Fistful of Dollars’ were shot in the desert region of Almería, which greatly resembles the landscape of the American Southwest.

Here I let you with a nice set of photos from the trip:

Since last week I have been spending most of my time out of the computer, walking around, enjoying the good weather in London, and reading books that are not in a digital format.

Some books I have really enjoyed:

The Cult of the Amateur: How Today’s Internet Is Killing Our Culture, By Andrew Keen

Whatever You Think Think the Opposite, By Paul Arden
It’s Not how Good You Are, It’s how Good You Want to be, By Paul Arden

The Laws of Simplicity , By John Maeda

You can agree or disagree with the contents of these books, but so far I consider them as a good reading.
