Recession hits Sesame Street

Sesame Street is shedding its workforce by 20%. No word if Big Bird will get the ax but cost cutting measures finally explain why “confirmed bachelors” Bert & Ernie have been living together for so long.

In light of the distressing news I’m posting this funny clip I found at Huffington.

For the record, I HATE Tickle me Elmo and all the variations (like Chicken Dance Elmo). It generates sadistic images like repeatedly throwing Elmo against the wall and saying, “Laugh that one off, buddy.”

Hmm. I don’t think my friends will let me play with their children’s toys anymore.
