Bert Is Evil

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the brought-to-you-by-the-letter-B dept.

It's been coming in all day. Bert and Bin Laden. Lindqvist.com has the best explanation, I think. Even FOX is reporting on it now. Bert is unstoppable.

    From the Fox news article...

    "Sesame Street has always stood for mutual respect and understanding," a spokeswoman said. "We're outraged that our characters would be used in this unfortunate and distasteful manner. This is not at all humorous.The people responsible for this should be ashamed of themselves. We are exploring all legal options to stop this abuse and any similar abuses in the future."

    Now tell me exactly what are they going to do? Sue some random guy at a protest on the other side of the world?

    Or maybe they've forgotten that parody is a protected form of fair use and free speech.
