Happy 35th Birthday, Sesame Street!

So Sesame Street turns 35 years old today. My parents got a color television when Sesame Street started so that I could watch Kermit, Big Bird, Grover, Oscar, Bert, Ernie and the gang in technicolor.

It used to be a nice kiddie program about numbers and letters with little lessons about sharing and kindness sprinkled throughout. Now, it is a full-on indoctrination machine for pre-schoolers completely saturated with political correctness. The lessons about sharing have now morphed into complete socialism.

Looky here who they invited onto the show:





Of course, like most "child stars", some of the characters went down a bad road. Started running with the wrong people......and for a while, it infiltrated Sesame Street. No longer just lovable fuzzballs, they formed a street gang.







And it was Bert, sweet little perfectionist Bert, lover of pigeons and order, who went completely to the dark side. Not even Ernie could bring him back to the light:












It's a shame, isn't it? When puppets go bad.....
