Um...execpt you weren't saying that. You've just been ragging on The Muppets for the past few weeks, and that's all.

We didn't exactly see the "Evil Businessman" as the Muppets' idea, but as Jason Segel's idea, which means we didn't really consider it part of the film.

I would scoff at Ben's scoff and say, yes, there WAS a lot of conscious de-Segelizing of the movie on Disney's part at the last minute: Whole scenes from the "real" trailers (like the Mahna-mahna's annoying our characters in the car) seemed to be missing or rewritten, and the whole year-hyped plot of "Celebrities helping out with the show" was nowhere to be seen. (I didn't see one single FRAME of Lady Gaga in the movie, and don't think I didn't freakin' look.)

Ever heard of a little thing called deleted scenes? You know stuff gets filmed but ends up on the cutting room floor for lots of reasons. Perhaps GaGa scene jsut didn't flow, cause really having GaGa in there could have got a few more bums on seats for 5 minutes of crap..
