“It’s really not about the word in particular,” Murray said. “The reason for the message (was) a group of students were instructed to refrain from that language and other language in a particular part of the building.”
There are Facebook groups for Meep (according to some sources). On the up side — the Muppets live for another generation ! 🙂
