Sesame Street Is Gearing Up To Cover Divorce
(EW) — With its more than 40-year history as the pinnacle of children’s educational programing, I didn’t think there was anything Sesame Street hadn’t tackled. But thanks to this Time.com/Tumblr Storyboard article we find out that after a failed run at it in the early 90s, the beloved show is addressing the issue of divorce for the first time and the adorable fairy Abby Cadabby is just the muppet to do it. On a segment appearing on the Sesame Street web site as part of multimedia project Little Children, Big Challenges: Divorce, Abby Cadabby talks about having two homes because her parents are divorced, and Gordon helps her explain it to her friends.
Oh fuck yes. What a day this is gonna be for parents huh? Tommy sitting around the TV just trying to learn what the fuck a consonant is and next thing they know they’re trotting out The Count to run down the list of whores daddy banged before mommy kicked him out. Then Cookie Monster can explain exactly what a calorie is and that’s why daddy sleeps on the couch now. Put Oscar in the corner of the room like the dunk uncle yelling “I knew they’d never make it! I told them at their wedding. They were too young!” Or I guess you could just have Elmo run around so the kid can see how annoying a 3 and a half year old is so they realize it’s all their fault. What’s that? You were just tuning in for some light-hearted and educational afternoon television? Too bad. D is for Divorce but T is for Two Christmases mothafuckas!


They will paint the “kids – it’s not your fault” picture the whole time…remember kids, it’s always your fault, you ruin everything
I DVR Sesame Street… so when I sit down with the kids I have something to watch that doesn’t piss me off.
Maria is hot. She was hot in the 80s when I was a kid, and a hot cougar now. Goddamn. she. is. fine. At 62 years old, she brings serious cougar fire. Her name is Sonia Manzano, and I wanna bang her.

Hey g-twice, do me a favor and fuck off
How long until they introduce a gayball character? Pre-school aged kids clearly need to know about this stuff.
Thanks a lot Obama
They should learn about divorce the way I did- coming home from school and my mom telling me my dad moved out and we’ll never see him again.
@Harry Johnson – uuuuuuh…Bert? Been there for a little while.
Hey Feitleberg J is for the Jew (you) who gets no Christmases
@suckitny: Yeah but I’m talking about a character introduced for the sole purpose of teaching 4 year-olds about gayballs.
“Kids, this is Jerry. Jerry lives in an apartment with his “special friend” Steve. They’re just like any other family, except they’re husband and husband!”
@RC Cola — that is just fucking sad. Sorry Bro.
i fucking hate these “bit” blogs that f-bird does sometimes. its like one of those piss-poor funnyordie sketches in blog form.
ha ha that didn’t actually happen
I thought Elmo just got fired for molesting some kids, no?
RC Cola — well done.
Decent comedy premise here and you came up painfully lame once again.
Feitelberg’s been posting a lot about Sesame Street lately. I’m guessing he’ll be auditioning to do the voice of Elmo soon.
next episode is about legalizing pot – Grover plays a big role in that one.
