    Any Big Mean Carl fans?

    Thanks! It was my entry I did for the Threadless Muppet shirt context. Though in retrospect I realize I made his proportion way off. Everything he "eats" comes back up...it's kind of like a kangaroo putting something in its pouch. But as Hubert says in a post below, he definitely is one of...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    It's painful and disturbing to read what that third accuser has to say. However, in response to those who say they can't forgive Clash, this right here is the reason my love and support for Clash can never be swayed...

    Music Video: "All I Need is Love" with CeeLo Green and The Muppets

    Loved it! Though, why did Craig Robinson look green screen key'd in? The song itself felt a bit awkward, but once again I love the "Letters to Santa" style cinematography and the whole look. And I mean, the return of CARL!!!

    Muppets on WWE Tribute to the Troops December 19 and December 22

    Kid Rock, Wrasslin and the US military. Wow. Could they add in Nascar, the NRA, and Mitt Romney while we're at it to complete the cornucopia?

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Yeah it's pretty bad. Ok I reallllly hope the stuff in the article isn't true http://www.seattlepi.com/entertainment/tv/tvguide/article/Former-Elmo-Puppeteer-Kevin-Clash-Faces-Third-4071229.php I can accept the notion Clash thought these guys were of age. But I admit it's very troubling to...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    I'm not defending what Clash may have done, but people have to come to terms with the fact these allegations may be true. The real deal is the CONTEXT with which these happened. The emotional frame, and really: what were older teens not quite 18 doing on sex chat lines? Regardless, y'all gonna...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    I agree. I find it wildly demeaning to refer to someone as "Dude Who Looks Like A Lady". His name is Cecil. Whether he is simply looking to falsely harm and cash in is an entirely separate story. He may identify as genderqueer or transgender, or simply identify with the aesthetics of a more...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Funny, I can't even count how many people at conventions light up with joy when they see me with Muppet related shirts or items at comic/anime/game/sci fi conventions I go to. Have you even been to a major geek related convention? I remember an almost hour line a few years ago just for people to...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Whoah, did he really just say the Muppets should not appear at conventions??? As someone who has spent a lot of money and time going to quite a lot of conventions in my travels and AS someone who would travel anywhere in the world if there was an official Muppet convention again I find that...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Didn't he admit to these things? To me it's not a question of guilt, it's an issue of a man who like any famed performer has flaws and has at time made poor judgement. I mean this incident if anything has brought out an overwhelming tidal wave of support and has showed just how many people have...

    Exactly. I was none too pleased with his and Rizzo's noticeable absence from last year's movie.

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Guys, check out NBC Nightly News coverage of the story, which runs for about 3 minutes. You can tell NBC News are huge fans of Kevin Clash and Sesame Street and frame the story in much the same way we would. Seriously everyone should watch this, it's pretty much a love letter to Clash...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Eeesh.... Two others? So there's four altogether accusing him of this? There's so many avenues, albeit highly risky, for someone who is a closeted gay man to find and pursue the company of other guys. Even young guys in the 18-22 range. The media is using the word "grooming" which of course...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Ok, wanted to apologize. I got some facts wrong. This incident was alleged to have taken place in 2003, not 1993 as I misread. I do believe the young man when he says he was heavily sexually abused as a young child and growing up. However he admits to being with a lot of older men. So why single...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    That is simply amazing, gives me goose bumps. Thank you so much for posting that, definitely made my day. that clip pretty much sums up what Sesame Street and all of Jim Henson's Muppets are truly about.

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Woody Allen married his underage step daughter...and I love the guy like nothing else. Same with Jerry Seinfeld, who also married an underage girl. Chris Brown on the other hand, brutally attacked and almost killed mega pop star Rhianna. R Kelly raped a 12 year old. On camera. Both their...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Well unfortunately this time the story seems to be breaking and sticking. Other than the whole sale slaughter of the Palestinians by Israel, the news is rather quiet lately. No election/storm/CIA sex scandal to distract. Also the accusation is even worse, so I think it was the only course for...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Read the article if you can stomach it, on the front page of the NY Daily. You have to know about New York's gay community in the early 90's to understand the context of the time. This wasnt someone preying on some kid in anytown USA. Of course Clash's actions if true were inappropriate, but...
