Guest Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center stated that the message of " The Muppets " is comparable to " The Matrix " , that " mankind is a a virus on poor old Mother Earth . " Gainor asked why , just once , oil businessmen couldn ' t be portrayed as valuable , upstanding members of society . The second commentator turns the focus to " Sesame Street " , talking about " the hungry Muppet , the starving Muppet " ; the host suggests that there should be an evil Obama Muppet causing the hunger . One commentator defending the film suggests " McDonald ' s has about seven different ways to pressure their parents , if marketers have access to our children , why shouldn ' t we be telling them the truth about our corporations " ; Bolling retorts that " we ' re teaching our children class warefare . where are we , communist China ?

" Kermit tried to defuse the situation , replying , " I can tell you that ' s categorically not true . And besides , if we had a problem with oil companies , why would we have spent the entire film driving around in a gas - guzzling Rolls Royce ?

Piggy responded , " Yeah . Yeah , if they take what I say seriously , they ' ve got a real big problem .

The Fix - It Shop The Fix - It Shop is a business on Sesame Street run by married couple Luis and Maria . They can repair just about anything , though the considerable number of toasters they are seen fixing , suggests that that appliance is their specialty . The toasters they have fixed have come in a spectrum of sizes , including giant ones dropped off by Mr . Snuffleupagus and his family . In the days before Snuffy was seen by the grown - ups , many people were perplexed by the sheer size of these toasters . The Fix - It Shop opened in Episode 0330 as the L and R Fix - It Shop , in a building that was previously a pet shop and library . It was originally run by Luis and Rafael . Their first job was repairing Susan ' s broken picture frame . Rafael left the show after season three , and the shop was thereafter known only as the Fix - It Shop . Maria later got a job at the Fix - It Shop , and she became a full partner in Episode 1563 . The shop was renovated in season 11 during the week of Episodes 1411 - 1415 . The Fix - It Shop is located next door to Hooper ' s Store . A workbench on the sidewalk in front of the shop allows Maria and Luis extra space for their repair work . In 2002 , the business became the Mail - It Shop , but as of 2006 ' s Episode 4109 , Maria and Luis had converted the store back , with no on - screen explanation why . In Season 39 , the Fix It Shop was moved to another location on the Street , its old spot was replaced by the Laundromat where Leela works . A shop seen to the left of the Laundromat was hinted to be where the Fix - It - Shop relocated , although it was shown to be for sale and later as . During season 45 , the area was converted to a bicycle shop run by Luis . The 1992 book , " Grover ' s 10 Terrific Ways to Help Our Wonderful World " , the Fix - It Shop is given particular attention as an example of the prescient environmentally responsible idea to have personal items repaired when possible for continued use rather than simply replacing them . In the illustration of this tip , the various monsters of Sesame Street are delivering their damaged possessions to Luis who evidently appreciates both their responsible behavior as well as the business .
