Many years ago I worked within peeing distance of the border. Didn't think about it then, but we hired a lot of Hispanic kids and adults that learned English watching Sesame Street and PBS. Kids translating for their parents in stores, restaurants, everywhere and anywhere.
Today, it's, if you want Spanish, we do Spanish. English, we do English. Arabic? Hmm, please give me a minute to see if Aaleyah or Faidah are working today.
"America is a very bad place and it's YOUR FAULT. So no matter what happens, no matter what they do to you when you grow up, you have no right to complain."
But this is what you tell Raheem and Jose and Abdul all the time.
Why can't children have both dolls and firetrucks?
I had both, and it didn't scar me for life. I must say, however, that I was supposed to inherit my older brother's Lionel train set, but he disliked me so much that he smashed it rather than pass it down to me, and what lesson do you think a 6-year-old girl learned from that?
Have you ever checked out r/bertstrips? It's the antithesis of that. They turn Bert and Ernie into sexual predators, Big Bird into a slaveowner, etc etc. Some people just can't handle that there's anything nice in children's lives and want to shit on it, because shitting on children is how you get more Donald Trumps and Donald Trump Jrs.

When you come out too feverishly anti-Sesame-Street, you run the risk of winding up all alone in the middle of a field in Crank Country.

I had a mullet. No, a super-mullet. I thought it was ok at the time. How wrong I was.

Great show!
As a matter of fact, two of the docs refused to sign the NDA and they were removed from the treatment team.

Oh, I LOVED that one!!
Yes! This is my other favorite from childhood, with the same kind of vibe. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Hey, Jim Parsons!
What's the opposite of libel? Because Baby Sinclair is that for Bill Barr.
So now we know what went so wrong in mega-whiny snowflake Ben Shapiro's life: Big Bird & Elmo dissed him. Bless his heart.
(I watched the very first Sesame Street when it premiered. I was 4. I was a devoted fan for years after that.)
Yep, Sesame Street was originally geared for inner city kids who didn't have access to pre-k or nursery school, as we called it back then.
Cookie Monster all the way!
