Sesame street is turning 40 and I have some hard questions for them
These are 7 straight forward no judgment questions for the creators, producers and whack jobs living on Sesame Street.

1. Did Grover really get caught with a prostitute in 1979? There were rumors everywhere and you guys never addressed it. It made him look guilty. Did you spend my tax dollars on an out of court cash settlement to keep it out of the news? Answer honestly!

2. After 40 years, why is the relationship between Ernie and Bert never explained? Are they cousins? How do they really know each other? Have they ever shared a bed? Do they file their taxes jointly or as individuals?

3. Why does a 40 year old Ernie still play in the tub with a rubber ducky...and why would PBS show it...and why would Ernie let camera into the bathroom while he is in the tub naked? Can you explain to me what part of watching a 40 year old man take a bath is appropriate for kids?

Here is vintage video of him in the tub in 1969



4. After 40 years, why hasn't Bert moved out or dated anyone? He seems to get screwed over a lot. I thought he would have been a good Wiggle.

5. When Big Bird was in his teens, how come we never saw pictures of him rebelling, smoking and drinking? I thought that all birds in their teens got a little messed up. Why not just be honest and show it? Help other kids that age.

6. After 40 years of being funded by my tax dollars, why is Oscar still living in a trash can? Is this another failed government social program?

7. Who in management does that Elmo guy have nude photos of in a compromising position. He is the biggest "No Talent" on the show. Obviously, he is either sleeping with a producer ala David Letterman or he has incriminating photos of someone in charge.

It seems to me that if we are going to give these guys more money when our government is already $12 trillion in debt, we should be able to ask some hard and personal questions.

That's How I see it.
