The Air is No Longer Sweet at Sesame Street

Anti-Semisitm is like a virus.  It can infect even the most seemingly innocent places and this week its nefarious virulence is being felt on the childhood icon of Sesame Street.

Yes, the beloved Elmo was arrested in central park this week for an anti-Semitic rant.  He was apparently shouting aloud words taken from Henry Ford's essay, The International Jew.  We are not sure exactly why he was arrested, but some reports have it that Elmo is currently undergoing medical evaluation.

This isn't the first time that Elmo has been spotted wandering the street of New York spewing his Jew hatred.



  It has been well documented on youtube, as in the video link above.

According to sources at The Street, Elmo has recently been spending a lot of his time with Bert, whose Nazi sympathies have been well documented.  This is an extraordinarily disturbing development in the battle for the stuffed hearts and minds of the inhabitants of the Children's Television Workshop.  We are not sure how far the radicalization of the Sesame Street population will go.  Elmo's girlfriend Zoey could not be reached for comment.

Interesting times indeed.
