Sesame Place Responds After Kelly Rowland And Many Others Call Out A Video Where A Character Snubs Black Children
Over at the Magic Kingdom, Mickey Mouse and his cohorts are diabolically cackling something extra because Disneyland or Disney World is not the theme park getting dragged today. The Sesame Street-themed amusement park Sesame Place in Pennsylvania has been accused of being a fun and happy place to be as long as you’re not a Black child after a video went viral of a character refusing to high-five two Black girls even though the character just high-fived a white girl and woman. And more videos came out. After getting shit from Kelly Rowland and many, many, many, many others, Sesame Place put out two statements that were brought to you by the letters S-P-I-N.
Open Post: Hosted By A Vintage Clip of Julia Louis-Dreyfus Cursing In Front Of Elmo
Cursing is the great equalizer. From the lowliest pauper to the wealthiest business magnate, there’s nothing like unleashing a huge FUUUUCK to express the deepest and most complicated of your emotions. However, there is a time and place for cussin’. One of those places is not Sesame Street. Someone could’ve told Julia Louis-Dreyfus that because there’s video evidence of her letting out a quick “shit!” in front of our favorite Muppets.
Big Bird Got The COVID-19 Vaccine And It Pissed Off Ted Cruz
Over the weekend Big Bird got the COVID-19 vaccine! He immediately tweeted that shit (he is a bird, after all), writing, “My wing is feeling a little sore, but it’ll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and other healthy.” Before he got the jab, Big Bird participated in a CNN Town Hall for Families to help answer questions from kids about the vaccine, which was recently authorized for American children ages 5-11.
Awww, good for Big Bird… would be any reasonable, well-intentioned person’s response. But “reasonable” and “well-intentioned” are not adjectives to describe Texas Senator Ted Cruz. He tweeted, “Government propaganda… for your 5 year old!” and a slew of other hardcore right-wing trolls did the same. Hmmm… Big Bird is technically only 6-years-old, so I don’t think he’s old enough to identify as right or left-wing. He uses both wings equally!
Billy Porter Hits Back At Those Who Are Mad He Wore His Oscar Gown On “Sesame Street”
It’s time for another round of: “Contempt For Homosexuals Disguised As Concern For Children”! Yay! Billy Porter shot an upcoming guest appearance on Sesame Street, and in it, he wears the HSOTM gown he wore to last year’s Oscars. And Billy is so gracious that he shared a fraction of his fabulosity with the children. Well, that choice was roasted by a Conservative senator and other homophobes who are worried about children being exposed to men in dresses on a show where a grouch lives in a garbage can, a blue furry creature survives on a diet of cookies, and a vampire teaches simple mathematics. The horror!
A “Sesame Street” Exec Says That Bert And Ernie Are Gay If You Want Them To Be
It’s hard to believe that Sesame Street will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year but that just means we’re all old as hell. And since 50 years is long enough to keep a secret an executive behind the show is finally speaking out on whether or not titular characters Bert and Ernie are roommates or “roommates” (wink wink). Yes, we’re still talking about this.
Open Post: Hosted By Grover Maybe Dropping An F-Bomb
Yanny or Laurel? Is that dress blue or gold? Did Grover just say “fucking”? Finally, the stupid distraction from how shitty the world is for late 2018!
