I want to see a banner ad on here that says today's forums are sponsored by the letters D, V, and X... and the number 40.
 
Yep, I showed those Google banners to my class and gave them a bit of CTW history. They're in their twenties and have no idea about the Sesame Street, Electric Company, Mr. Rogers line up and they surely know nothing about shows like "3,2,1 Contact" or even the old DeGrassi High.

I'm 20 and I grew up with sesame street! hahaha I had some of the puppets at home and my younger sisters still use them hahaha
 
"Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?"

Now that I am older, I have a few unfortunate facts to point out.

Uh, Bert and Ernie, can you say "alternative lifestyle"?

Snufalupagus was a figment of Bigbird's imagination and the subsequent cause of his going on Lithium.

Cookie Monster tried to go on Jenny Craig, but had to revert to a gastric bypass to control his diabetes and obesity.

Mr. Hooper was never the same after Elmo, desperate to buy speed, committed an armed robbery in his store. Quoted as saying "That little red fu**er just wouldn't shut up and he was waving that little gun around, screaming for 'Dorothy', who the hell was 'Dorothy'? And why the f#$* did every song he sang sound like Mother F%#&in' Jingle Bells?"

Elmo, sentenced to 15 years for armed robbery, joined the Mexican Mafia and is now known as "El Loco Rojo". Police will not confirm, but an anonymous source ties Elmo to the brutal gangland style killing of Mr. Noodles, who was found dead with his pants pulled up over his head.

Kermit The Frog, while sleeping was bludgeoned to death by Miss Piggy, who claimed he was cheating on her with Grover (no surprise there)

Miss Piggy, after the tabloid exposure she received after being caught on film auditioning for a hard core porn, is now considered "Armed and Dangerous" and has a $100,000 reward on her head. Unfortunately, she hid in a barn owned by Farmer John Pork Products. No further sighting of Miss Piggy has been reported.

And finally, Oscar the Grouch, after living years as a curmudgeon and a, well, grouch, converted to Hari Krishna and was last seen handing out flowers at a Seattle airport.

My daughter watches it now and most of the same people that I used to watch are still on the show. Maria must be 60 and looks exactly the same. And they are still using the same skits and cartoons as well. it's still great for kids.
