    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    There are those that theorize that Paul Ruebens did that on purpose to kill off a character he was sick to death of that wasn't intended for children anyway. But he's since been able to have a career being himself, even doing VO work for kid's movies and TV shows. I'm glad to see he bounced...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    The people who say "we shouldn't judge either way" are the same people who actually are. That's what his entire posts were about. I'm not saying one's a saint and one's Satan, I'm saying: A) He shouldn't be labeled an evil sexual deviant all the while forgetting everything else he has done...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    And to angrily condemn Kevin and put the accuser on a pedestal is... ? You know your second statement contradicts your first, right? Except A) He did not use his position of power for jack. This was all in private. And B) Every freaking celebrity should be tainted by that logic. The voice of...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Something tells me, if there is a grain of truth to the second accuser, most of that stuff he just said was exaggerated, and coached by his lawyer. If he waited 20 years and wants money, there's something wrong there no matter how true it could be. Celebrities do some crazy crap, but they...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    The Founding Fathers owned slaves and Thomas Edison stole every single one of his "inventions." Does that make them any less influential historically? Just because of some alleged poor judgement, Kevin didn't automatically become worse than Hitler, no matter how you look at it. People do have...

    When you need to rant...

    Do I need proof? I guess I do... The 10 Commandments were a publicity stunt for the movie Scroll to number 5.

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Is all I'm trying to say. Clash was looking for a relationship in a bad place. There's probably some big psychological reason that Kevin did something so stupid, but there's an equally stupid psychological reason why that kid agreed. I know what Greenhoodie is saying... I agree wrong is...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    THANK You! Those are the words I was going for. Not only are most of the pregnancies on that show consensual, but a large fraction of them are girls who get knocked up to purposely be on that show. And MTV makes a profit from it. That should be illegal. I stress that this isn't okay on any...

    Spit take... 20 years?! I'm sorry, but if something is wrong you don't wait 20 years.

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    No one's saying it's okay. We're just saying why the heck are there minors on a sex chat line? In your words, they "chose to go on a gay chat line." Where's the punishment on their end looking for trouble? Why do they even have one that less than 18 year olds can access? If you go out in...

    The Muppets Take Disney Store Manhattan November 27

    I'd just be happy if the Muppets were included in Disney Stores. You'd think with plush toys that sold out and were the hottest thing last Christmas season, we'd see something. A Rowlf maybe. Restocking the plush from last year, at least. Instead we get more Cars merchandise that goes...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    And you just know that Sheldumb Snearvens has some sort of porno on his web browser while mentioning that. But again, 16 and 17 is NOT the same as 3. It's not like he was using Elmo to get little kids to take their pants off. The allegations are bad, but there's WORSE than that happening...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    If you're looking for sex, you're looking for trouble. End of story. No one's an angel. But I really wish people would stop treating willing 16 and 17 year olds the same as some gross uncle fondling their baby/toddler niece. If there's a teenage sex line out there that's not a trap set by law...

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    There are 2 things that get me about that. First off, where is the evidence? Secondly, if this is (perish the thought) true, those "kids" (16 and 17, not exactly 3 year olds) were on phone sex lines too. Except the Penn State fiasco was over the course of decades, on school grounds, and were...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Here's something. 50 Shades of Grey is really a Twilight Fanfic with all the serial numbers filed off. It was even confirmed by the writer herself. And it's the worst kind of fan fic. The sloppily written kind that's just an excuse to write characters in sexual situations, usually to fit in...

    Worst... Elmo product...EVER

    I saw an Appolo Creed one, actually. I don't know if the Kinnikuman ones were the first of that group, but I remember seeing of them well before the Sesame Street ones.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    The books supposedly came out of someone's dream. And let's face it... we've had dreams that felt either more epic, funnier, or scarier at night than when we were awake and able to rationalize them. She must have terrible dreams then. Other than that, they're a bunch of old trashy romance...

    The 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    Big Bird, Super Grover, and Abby are the only ones to ever have a Balloon in the Macy's Parade. Elmo has never had a balloon. So think about it this way.... Super Grover was chosen over Elmo for a parade balloon.

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    This is very depressing and doesn't need to be. How much moral support could we possibly send him to reconsider? The other shoe's going to drop when we hear recast Elmo's voice and collectively think "It's an end of an era" or "it's just not the same." The cowardly little schmuck that came...
