An anti-smoking puppet with lung cance...and a psychotic mommie puppet who forgets to take her meds and drowns her five puppet children in her bathtub, then flushes a rubber duckie down the toilet.

He he. How about A radical muslim muppet who yells Jihad and blows Israelis and Americans to bits so we can educate people that Islam is a religion of peace

Why not have a Muppet with leukemia, or diabetes, or asthma? These are diseases children are much more likely to have than AIDS and should be addressed far more often than AIDS. This smacks strongly of a political agenda.

It is relevant to mention that this is in South Africa, not here, and their AIDS issue is quite a bit different than ours...
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sesame Street will soon introduce its first HIV-positive Muppet character to children of South Africa, where one in nine people have the virus that can lead to AIDS

The upbeat female Muppet will join "Takalani Sesame" on September 30 for its third season on the South African Broadcasting Corporation.

The rest of the op/ed piece is a riot "There must be a puppet named "Sniffles" that has a temperature of 101, diarrhea and a runny nose. While on camera, it should vomit every few minutes."

My only question is...How in the hell did this puppet contract aids when puppets have no blood and aids is a blood borne pathogen?

OTOH, I guess I would like to see the puppet waste away and die..

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?

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.

I think this is a fitting end to this thread.

Bert and Ernie Won't Get HIV+ Buddy in U.S.

Sloppy journalism, or a change in plans? Either way, the topic's over.
