Apparently, Elmo doesn't swing for that fence.

So that is the real reason Mitt Romney wanted to shut down sesame street funding... Big bird was just a cover... :pop:

after watching the Elmo documentary (which is really good) and seeing Kevin Clash, I can't say I'm really that surprised. He came across as pretty creepy in the movie.

and that Katy Perry has some nice bounce in that video.

He only asked the kid touch his Big Bird...

How will they do it?

Car accident to teach about looking each way?

Some virus to teach about hand washing?

This is sort of off-topic since I only vaguely know who Elmo is and don't really care, but ...

Is it right that when a 16-year-old commits a murder people are always crying for him or her to be tried as an adult, but when a 16-year-old has a relationship with an adult it's always considered statutory rape or something similar on the part of the adult?

I mean, can 16-year-olds (or 14 or whatever) know what they're doing?

Assuming no mental handicaps, I say yes in both cases.

I would agree with redwill, but I still haven't recovered from the Miley Cyrus controversy of 2008 :pop:
