I'm impressed that line is from Seinfeld, as I'm not a TV watcher, but it zeros in on the idea I was trying to put across.
I once had to explain my views on admiring feminine beauty to my wife and sister-in-law at the same time.
I explained that it is possible to examine, enjoy, study and admire every flower in a garden without necessarily finding
that it follows that you must imagine rolling in the flowers.
They may not have been making Elmo any older than he seems, 4 or 5 years old.
I confess there were times when I was 5, and Julie Newar was squirming around as Catwoman, that my 5 year old body
responded in a way I didn't understand, but would have been embarrassed if such were in a one-to-one situation.
I think maybe Elmo ran off because something about breasts "inspired" him in a new way "for him", and he "fruk right on out..."
So in a perverse way, I might agree this should have been pulled.... Elmo should have either,
1. Behaved "normally" as in, breasts are not acknowledged in any way.
2. been able to handle it, even if cleavage was somehow acknowledged.
3. Ready to try to out-do her at dress-up (with or without acknowledgement of breast awareness)
I find myself in an odd point of being conservative for a progressive reason.
I think these are odd moments of life's mobius strip paths, like when Pat Robertson and the Anarchists agreed on talking points as happened a few years at an IMF conference in the NW ...Seattle?
