When is Australia getting a place on Sesame Street His name would be Bruce, 16 years old, hangs around the main train station picking used cigarette butts off the ground and trying to smoke them, punches any cunt looking at him funny and takes swigs out of bundy rum bottle he got from BWS bc it was on special
Looks cute!
Is she actually a muppet? I thought that not everything that comes out of Jim Henson's workshop is a muppet. Like, Cookie Monster and Elmo aren't muppets, right? edit: just did the research. Looks like they are muppets. But is Big Bird a muppet???

Hmm, I wonder if the new muppet will be in the new Sesame Street show this year. I mean, Chamki was there the past few times they did the show at the arena. I'm only wondering cause working the EXACT same event multiple years in a row gets boring.

[QUOTE=Swiket;50097241]They killed off Big Bird? Damn, Sesame Street got dark.[/QUOTE] Oscar started reading Marx and ended up inspiring the rest of the Grouch Folk to rise up against the bourgeois. They barricaded the Eastern end of Sesame Street, assuming that the preparations for the Christmas Special would leave the Western end too congested for the upper classes to use for a counterattack. They were wrong. Many died, mainly prole sympathisers. Big Bird was among the casualties.
That muppet is racist Afghans don't have purple skin
I didn't even know that other countries got their own special version of Sesame Street. That's pretty neato.

Ooh, I really like that design I wonder why they left the wild thread coming off of her right sleeve, though.
