Muppet Shakespeare

Not just anyone can recast A Midsummer Night's Dream and other Shakespeare works with Muppets, but Lis Riba and her husband have done a brilliant job of it. Too bad Disney now owns the Muppet franchise and has reduced their stars to pimping Pizza Hut with Jessica Simpson (and am I off base in thinking that she's the end result of a Muppet Labs experiment gone horribly wrong?), as sadly their inspiration will never reach the big screen. Ah, well.

The Muppets are too intelligent for Jessica Simpson. :-)
