Because so many millions of American children are plopped in front of the teevee to watch Sesame Street instead of getting any breakfast, what with 45 million people on food stamps and tens of millions with no jobs and other economic unpleasantness, the folks at the Children's Television Workshop will introduce a sad new muppet character, "Lily," who does not have enough food to eat and so is wasting away as the other characters sort of uncomfortably go about their already weirdly doomed lives.
This does seem to open up a whole new world of Muppet characters. How about Carrie the anorexic cutter? Her and Lily could get together and count ribs. 1 rib 2 ribs 3 ribs puke... 4 ribs
The Children's Television Workshop is treading dangerously close to the kind of parftisanship that can get your funding yanked these days. If they don't actually get Bocephus on the show, they may need to add another character, the child of the slumlord who owns the tenements on Sesame Street, and can't get the boiler fixed in Grover's building because of his crushing tax burden.
There's a segment of Harvey fucking Fierstein singing "Everything's Coming Up Noses" that floors me every time.
Hilarity ensues when Lily tries to use food stamps to mail a watermelon.
Good times.

It will talk about going to church but unless it's Christmas or Easter, will find something better to do.

Grover, incidentally, has teamed up with Mr. Snuffleupagus to bully the rest of the Sesame gang into signing the No Tax Increase pledge.

Occupy Sesame Street!
Also suffers from food insecurity, but of a different sort.
The drumsticks slone on Big Bird could probaly feed half of the Street. I&#039;m not suggesting anything, just pointing out some facts.
