mark1447 Posted August 12, 2011 #1 Posted August 12, 2011 It was only a matter of time. An online campaign posted on change.org is calling for Sesame Street’s bath-loving Ernie and paperclip-collecting Bert to tie the knot. On the show, the two are roommates, but nothing more. “We are not asking that Sesame Street do anything crude or disrespectful,” the petition reads. “It can be done in a tasteful way. Let us teach tolerance of those that are different.” The petition already has nearly 900 supporters behind it. More with link to the petition can be seen here: http://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/television/NATL-Campaign-Pushes-for-Bert-and-Ernie-to-Wed-127442963.html
Shortline Bus Posted August 12, 2011 #2 Posted August 12, 2011 Without going into the Same Sex issue, I say this. This is a damn 'kids' show for those between say 3-7 years old. I would rather a 7 year or even a teen have input into the show then an adult whether they are 25 or 50 years old.
Shortline Bus Posted August 12, 2011 #4 Posted August 12, 2011 Sicken....just crazy.... It's 1 thing for viewers to be upset about the clothes(or lack of lol)for guests like Katy Perry. It's another to try to get involved in what writers should discuss for kids. IMO the show lost being 'cool' years ago when it became basically the "Elmo" Show lol.:cool:
St Louis Car 09 Posted August 12, 2011 #5 Posted August 12, 2011 Sesame street needs to come out and say that Bert and Ernie are gay.they never been outon a date or anything f the opposite sex.Heck its just a kids show,but their sexuality has been questioned for years.
Joe Posted August 12, 2011 #6 Posted August 12, 2011 Most people are unable to understand asexuality.
N-Trizzy2609 Posted August 12, 2011 #7 Posted August 12, 2011 LOL WUT? Like honestly it's blasted kid's show. LEAVE IT ALONEE
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted August 12, 2011 #8 Posted August 12, 2011 Sesame street needs to come out and say that Bert and Ernie are gay.they never been outon a date or anything f the opposite sex.Heck its just a kids show,but their sexuality has been questioned for years. LOL... I would have to agree. It's like reading a Shakespeare play that is ripe with overtones of homoeroticism... Dost thou not know the repercussions of thy ways? And with that said, where is Cookie Monster!?!??!? I want my cookies dammit! :mad:
R42 M Train Posted August 12, 2011 #9 Posted August 12, 2011 Ummmm NO! Pressing homosexuality on kids is wrong... well any sexaulity... just let kids be damn kids
Grand Concourse Posted August 12, 2011 #10 Posted August 12, 2011 It's the same show that made cookie monster into a vegetarian. This sort of crap doesn't surprise me much. Defund PBS now!

B35 via Church Posted August 12, 2011 #13 Posted August 12, 2011 did kermit & miss piggy ever marry? just sayin.... Seriously though, there's just as much a need for bert & ernie to get "married", as there is for me to tear jessica rabbit up..... *smh*
INDman Posted August 12, 2011 #14 Posted August 12, 2011 Even if they are gay, why do they have to get married?
Dan05979 Posted August 12, 2011 #15 Posted August 12, 2011 I can't believe this is news. There's no jobs in ny, the gas is at 4.20 a gallon, the roads are crumbling and there are US soldiers dying in Iraq.
mark1447 Posted August 13, 2011 Author #16 Posted August 13, 2011 Most people are unable to understand asexuality. I agree.. They did the same crap with spongebob, claiming hes gay, but the creator said ASEXUAL!
Roadcruiser1 Posted August 13, 2011 #17 Posted August 13, 2011 This is what I have to say about what is going on.
Shortline Bus Posted August 13, 2011 #18 Posted August 13, 2011 This is what I have to say about what is going on. Good one. Seriously why this is a news story? This is a blast against the crappy mainstream media we have in America. While i agree with Dan with much more important news this busy week and don't forget sadly the famine situation in Africa(again)!B)
