NEW YORK (AP) - The South African version of "Sesame Street" is introducing a character with a problem far more serious than scraped knees or missing cookies. She's HIV ( news - web sites) positive.

I heard about that on the radio ~ I wonder how they'll address the way in which the character was infected.

I wonder how they're going to explain how she got it. Maybe subtle hints like they'll tell the story while she's eating a banana.

Letter D pulls Sponsorship from Sesame street because of new Gay Muppet

NEW YORK?A spokesperson for the letter D announced Monday that the consonant is withdrawing sponsorship from Sesame Street following a Children's Television Workshop announcement that a homosexual muppet will soon join the show's cast.

"The letter D is proud to have brought you many wonderful Sesame Street episodes throughout the program's 28-year history," said Patricia Willis, public-relations director for D. "But the letter D does not condone the sort of morally questionable lifestyles that Sesame Street is advocating with the introduction of this new character. It can no longer in good conscience associate itself with the show."

Willis said D's withdrawal is effective immediately, and applies to both capital and lower-case versions of the letter.

The gay muppet, "Roger," will be introduced on Sesame Street Dec. 23, CTW director Leslie Charren said. Thus far, no other sponsors have pulled out, though the number seven has requested an advance tape of the episode before it makes a decision.

Many public-television insiders believe D's withdrawal was motivated by a desire not to alienate religious conservatives, a section of the population that employs the letter frequently.

"D is for, among other things, demagoguery, dogma and doctrine, words crucial to right-wing groups like the Christian Coalition," said Yale University political-science professor J. Wright Franklin. "It is likely that D felt it could ill afford to offend such a large segment of its users."

While a long-term replacement for D has not yet been secured by Sesame Street, the number three will temporarily fill in for it in a number of the show's animated shorts. Other pieces will simply skip from C to E, with vocalists stretching out C into two syllables to match the rhythm of the alphabet song.

Sesame Street is stung by the sudden departure of its longtime supporter. Speaking to reporters, cast member Cookie Monster said: "Me disappointed letter D choose to end relationship with Sesame Street due to pressure from extremely vocal minority. We accused of endorsing deviant lifestyle. Me say homosexuality natural, not immoral. Diversity and enrichment. That's good enough for me."

About the gay puppet, what the fuck? Why does a puppet need to have any sexual denomination? For Christ's sake, those shows are supposed to be teaching numbers and the alphabet, not how to give a good blow job.

Ouch. Here, lemme remove that hook from your mouth.

I've never trolled before, but now I've felt the euphoria that comes from hooking a live one I don't know if I can go back.

You got me bro! I read a couple lines, thought "what the fuck?", and posted. Then I went back and read it again, laughed my ass off at both the article and myself, then replied!

Funny stuff...

i wonder when they will put an adultwebmaster doll on the show to learn the kids what daddy is doing behind his computer and why mommy is always angry when she finds out

RATBOY · 07-12-2002, 03:04 PM

I believe it is something like one in ever 16 people have HIV/AIDs in Kenya I think it was. It is a VERY serious problem due to unavailablility of condoms and lack of knowledge/education. There are still 80's-like misconceptions about the risks assiciated with it down there. It's scary.
