But What About Big Bird?!?!?!?!

First and foremost this post has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS!!!

That being said, there is too much going on with this Sesame Street business for me not to chime in. I am really frustrated by free thinking adults constantly jumping on the band wagon rather than thinking for themselves. In the recent presidential debate a comment was made about ending government subsidization to PBS and now everyone is all "what about Big Bird." "what about the kids!?!?" Okay people clearly you are in fact band wagoners and don't watch PBS, if you did you would be aware that prior to every broadcast they state something along the lines of "this program is made possible by viewers like you."...not solely the government. If you people are so worried about whats going to happen to a big yellow bird give up your cigarettes, booze, and movie money and send in a nice little donation, posting a bunch of randomness isn't going to help him out. But seeing as how most likely you wont be donating anything to the cause you are so adamant about, get over it. Don't get me wrong I love Sesame Street and my son like most toddlers loves him some Elmo but seriously all this nonsense about "What about the Kids?" "Big Bird and friends taught me so much about the alphabet and number and being respectful." Well that's unfortunate. You know who taught me numbers and the alphabet and how to be respectful? My parents! Sesame Street is a fantastic program but it is not an alternative to parenting. The education of your children is your responsibility not the governments.

Done.
