But it is in its songs and performances that ''Avenue Q'' plays most piquantly on the contrasts between the world according to children's television and the reality of adult life. The nature of the twinkly songs, unfailingly tuneful and disgustingly irresistible, can be deduced from their titles: ''Everyone's a Little Bit Racist,'' ''Schadenfreude,'' ''The Internet Is for Porn'' and ''You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You're Makin' Love).''

Meanwhile, the Brits are laying odds on Hillary's presidential chances:
Hillary Clinton has been cut from 12/1 to 9/1 fourth favourite to win next year's US Presidential Election by William Hill, following rumours that she is contemplating enetering the race for the White House. Hills have also shortened Howard Dean, endorsed by Al Gore, from 4/1(he was once a 50/1 outsider) to 5/2 second favourite, but make George Bush 4/7 favourite to hold on to the Presidency with Wesley Clark offered at 7/1 third favourite. 'Hillary has been steadily backed for a year or two now, but the stories at the weekend encouragedmore punters to stake a speculative dollar or two on her' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills make John Kerry 20/1 fifth favourite and also offer 33/1 Richard Gephardt andJoe Lieberman; 40/1 John Edwards. WILLIAM HILL make the Republicans 4/7 favourites to win the Election, with the Democrats offered at 5/4.
Place your bets!

Clark complies with a request to imitate Hillary's rear end.
What's with the yellow toilet paper in the john? What are you all laughing at?
Hi, I'm Joe Lieberman. I thought Clinton had the creepiest hands ever until I met you.
Secty. Reich, could you please give me a hand up onto this foot stool?
Wesley demonstrates his scary monster face.
