This is what happens when you're a really big gaming site and have money to do stuff on a whim. I'm not sure why IGN decided to mix Jim Henson's Muppets with Resident Evil 5, and I don't know if it's a good thing. In this case I find it best just to let things happen and watch the video.
I'm pretty sure when Hensson created his puppets he never meant them to be blowing off people's heads or getting beheaded by zombies. Then again, if you've watched any of the Henson SNL sketches it isn't that big of a leap. Take note that IGN avoided the whole racism thing by not having an black muppets in the video... or maybe that is racist in itself. I'm not sure.

lol as apposed to ugly crap?
I make those exact Muppets (FAO Whatnots) for a living... I don't think we ever expected anything like this to come out of it. Maybe that makes me biased, but I dug it!
