March 15 , 2010

If you have been watching television lately, you might have seen the recent resurgence of the Muppets. Kermit the Frog isn’t crooning with the latest musical sensation or running away from Miss Piggy’s overbearing affection this time.

The famous amphibian is donning a hard hat and building a house, all in the name of volunteering -- and a free day ticket to Walt Disney World or Disneyland theme parks.
