You're not supposed to see this, though some at ComiCon did and basically wouldn't shut up until it was uploaded to the net. Here’s the pitch that convinced ABC to make a show with The Muppets!

* Fozzie is dating a human
* Topher Grace makes out with Miss Piggy
* Kermit is living in a "bacon-wrapped hell on Earth"
* Kermit brings some clarity around the band always being happy

The series we'll see this fall will actually take place behind the scenes of Miss Piggy's talk show, Up Late With Miss Piggy, where Kermit is her executive producer.

Don't be an idiot: Vaccinate Your Child

As more and more parents are choosing not to vaccinate their children or are vaccinating them later, diseases like measles are making a comeback. +It's Okay To Be Smart break down the history and science of vaccines.

The US eliminated measles (or so we thought) in the year 2000, but because of parents not vaccinating their kids, or doing it later than recommended, it's making a comeback. This is something simple to prevent with vaccination. Get this though… in a susceptible population measles each sick person will infect up to 18 others. For comparison… ebola the infection rate is 2. 90% of unprotected people who come in contact with measles (even just breathing the same air) will become infected… but it can be easily prevented with vaccination.
