Well it sure undermines the argument that we need public subsidy of PBS, and the stupid ads of how Mitt Romney et al want to take Big Bird off the air.

The free market has placed a value on Big Bird and there is nothing wring with that.

Respect for LGBT folks will be included in Sesame Street ever so subtly to “test the waters”.

Oh yeah.
First episode; Bert and Ernie confirm the rumors.
Episode two; Oscar has a sex change.
Episode three; Tickle me Elmo, gets “tickled” by the Count.

They’ll all win Emmy Awards.

Episode Six; Big Bird tells the kids that their Mommies, and Daddies are evil, and killing all the polar bears for supporting the GOP candidate for President.

This can’t be right. The lefties have been telling us for years the Republicans killed Big Bird.

That could be done on my episode six. It would tie in nicely.

How much of the revenue generated by Sesame Street merchandise (e.g., toys, videos) has flowed back into the federal treasury?

After all, US taxpayers have been underwriting the program for decades.
