Sesame Street to introduce HIV-positive Muppet by Bernie Woodall
New York (Reuters) - Sesame Street will soon introduce its first HIV-positive Muppet character...(snip)
OMED: This approach is heterophobic in nature and is also biased with respect to other diseases. Congress should immediately pass legislation which requires Sesame Street to include in their cast puppets with diseases predominantly suffered by heterosexuals. There should be a diabetic puppet with a bad heart....(snip)

How about a Lesbian Eskimo Midget Left-handed Ninja Albino Muppet????? ;0)

Ernie is guilty by association. There will be a new muppet named "Cootie".

How 'bout a Jim Henson puppet that contracts a killer virus. Too real world?
Who thinks up this cr*p. Kids have more than enough time to be grown ups. Why do we steal their childhood? Why must little girls age 8-9 have the Britney Spears slut look? Belly button and piercing anyone?
To: Young Werther
That could be one big point of the article, Young Werther!

Well, lets remember what precisely is going on. They are introducing that character in South Africa, not the United States. This character is being introduced in a nation where like two thirds of the population have HIV. This is an issue those kids will have to deal with, and soon. That's why I think it's legit.

How about a muppet with a big cocaine schnoz and Peyronie's always asking the females to kiss it? That sounds like Snuffaluphagus with an overactive sex drive.

And among us would object to a Clint Eastwood 'Dirty Harry Callahan' muppet?
To: Bommer
There's the Snuffelupogus. Always stopped up! Nasal cavity destroyed from too much of Mr. Hoopers blow! He does got a nose like a vacumm cleaner[ring a bell?]and looks like he's always having a bummer.

The Bill Clinton muppet would be known as The Nookie Monster, and live in a humidor.

strongly of a political agenda."

The Bert Is Evil site is down temporarily (for two hours) but I've bookmarked it to check out later.
This has been the most hilarious thread I've seen in ages. Thanks, all.
AIDS, especially in children, is truly a horror, but Sesame Street is.....unbelievable. The article does say that S.S. plans to bring the HIV-Positive muppet to American toddlers and pre-schoolers.
To: Democratic_Machiavelli
"Perhaps he was infected by Bert..."
Yeah. Everyone knows he and Ernie like it in the can.
Sorry!
