http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/jun/05/us-terminates-funding-for-pakistani-sesame-street/?ap I can't wait when they show the first episode and Pakistan's children with their eyes all sucked onto their TV screens feeling the childhood blast of fun experienced watching SS then see a real explosion killing everybody and TV MA rated carnage detonated by radical Muslims right outside the studio for the Unholy Sin of educating the public. Then we'll see headlines by Muslims butthurt worse than those editorial cartoons by white authors then declare a fatwa on Jim Henson and Co., and offer a reward for Big Bird's head for millions.
I'm sorry but even if America continued funding this it would not make it to the end of the season before being suicide bombed into oblivion.
No kidding. Sesame Street is probably one of the most non culturally offensive things ever made (unless the idea of people in costumes and puppets cause you rage because you think one of them looks like some shit sacred to your religion or something similarly asinine), but yeah, it would probably have the ever living ass bombed out of it because filthy Americans are sponsoring it, claiming it's corrupting the youth. And, on that note, considering Islam is a religion that promotes scholarship and education not to mention commercialism (the Prophet was a merchant), that would be hilariously ironic.
They would teach the kids the proper way of making bombs, and stapping it to your chest. allah allah, allah allah, Elmo's world boom.
$20M to produce 3 seasons of a show about fucking puppets? That has misappropriation written all over it.
