Sesame Street to add a Muppet whose parent is in jail

[Bud Bundy]

After introducing an impoverished Muppet in 2011, Sesame Street will continue to help America's preschoolers cope with society's ongoing collapse by introducing Alex, a Muppet whose dad is in jail.


For the moment, Alex will not appear on Sesame Street itself, but in an online series called "Little Children, Big Challenges," which began in December with an episode dealing with divorce. The series was introduced as a way to help children cope with difficult situations that weren't deemed appropriate for the broader Sesame Street audience. And as America continues to jail more and more of its citizens, even as crime rates drop, one in 28 children now has a parent behind bars, so producers wanted to tackle the subject. The "Incarceration" episode was released this month.


As of yet, it hasn't been revealed whether Alex's father committed a serious crime, or was simply locked up as part of the NYPD's controversial "stop and frisk" initiative, which critics say unfairly target African-Americans, Hispanics, and other minority groups, possibly including Muppets. Meanwhile on Sesame Street, cookie theft remains rampant.

These are the times we are living in, quite frankly out where I'm from (same as most hoods are) this is a serious issue and little kids need some help coping with having mom or pop being in the slammer, most times for nonviolent offenses.

I've long said that the muppets, with their reach and power, should be standing on the precipice of the avant garde.
Children at a young age should be steadied and readied for the world as it is today. This is a good starting point. They can show the implications of incarcerated parents on the young muppet and his day to day life. As he's walking down the school hallway, leaving it tear stained in his wake, you can have other muppet children shout derogatory things at the young child like 'PRISON faq!' and 'Yo muppet, how much semen ya think ya daddy coaxed out of prison penises today??'. And from watching this muppet walk down that hall of shame, the kids at home will know the detrimental effect their words can have on their peers. As a home-run you can have the muppet going home at the end of the day and slitting his wrists. And as the young-uns are sat in front of their T.V watching the fluffy innards of Prison parent muppet spill onto his bathroom floor, they'll be able to steer their lives in a more egalitarian, altruistic and fulfilling direction. They should also be warned about the potential pitfalls of nightclubs. Have one of the muppets, get drunk and without realising it bring home a tranny. You can show the next morning. You can have Ernie ask Bert 'how was last night??'

and with just one look the kids at home will know to leave that demonic lifestyle alone.
