Sesame Street Anounces Layoffs

[Drtooth]

I still feel bad about Carol getting that whopper pay cut, though. It really would have stunk if they fired him. After all, he's one of the few people still there that was there at the beginning (right up there with Bob and Jerry). Hope that doesn't mean season 40 will lack the Bird or more importantly, the Grouch.

The reason this doesn't sit right with me, is because Sesame Workshop now gets heavy defense department funding, but LOOK
what our own government is using Sesame Street music for in Iraq for "interrogation"

Sesame should sue the US government, not take handouts from the Pentagon, RAND and the other war profiteers.

Yipes! That's one for my fan blog; I doubt that I could post my whole opinion here without (a) going off-topic or (b) violating the forum rules in general. This much I can say, though: the idea of Sesame Street being abused that way makes me ill, and someone at the Workshop should indeed protest as much as the law allows.
