Bert Is Evil

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.

This makes a twisted sort of sense

[ckd]

Here's the "logic":

• Jerry Falwell says that gays "helped this happen."
• Bert and Ernie have been living together for how many years? Haven't you ever been a little bit suspicious about them?

Obviously this explains the whole thing.

Were these two imstruments of clever manipulators ?

geez - they're puppets - of course they are instruments of clever manipulators ....

Google Image search strikes again

[Cato the Elder]

A search for "bin laden" shows Bert and Osama on the second page of pictures. If the protestors made their collage out of that, it would explain a lot.

Hmm, I guess it would be proof if the two random people showed up on the poster as well.

The reach of the internet ... How this started ...

[pgrote]

Think about it ... Someone posts a picture of Ernie and the Binnie boy. From what I can tell it came from http://www.j-roen.net/bert/how/how.htm.

Someone in Bangledish picked this up and ran with it. This is amazing.

First it shows the reach of the internet. It's unreal that this is how it is. What a great feather in the cap for the internet to be out on the forefront.

Second what an amazing rub that things we look at as cultural icons aren't perceived as such in foreign countries. I mean what were they thinking?

Maybe they aren't allowed to say "life-partner" on PBS.

Osama bin Bert

[zpengo]

It's a widely known fact in the intelligence community that Sesame Street has been a form of communication between al-Qaeda leaders and the various semi-independent cells around the world. Through sometimes cryptic phrases and symbols, unintelligible to outsiders, they have broadcast messages to all the world that can only be truly understood by a few. Some examples:

• "C is for cookie, that's good enough for me."
• "Seven! Seven jumping jackrabbits! Ah, ah, ah!"
• "I am Captain Vegetable, with my carrots, and my celery."
  

The difficult that the intelligence community has had in tracking down members of these terrorists cells is partially due to the fact that these messages are broadcast worldwide, and also because the suspected terrorists are a bunch of little kids.

Next Thing....

[Peridriga]

Next thing ya know "All your base are belong to us" are gonna show up in pro-American celebrations in Afgan after we crush them :-)

Re:Next Thing....

[tswinzig]

There must be some geek somewhere loading bombs onto these planes. For the love of god, please paint "All your base are belong to us" on one of these suckers, and send us a picture!

Confirms my theory

[poemofatic]

..that Osama was merely a puppet, while Bert was the true Mastermind. No wonder Condi is worried that Osama's speeches contain secret messages.

You blew his cover!

[wiredog]

The CIA finally gets someone close to bin Laden and you slashdotty bastards blow his cover! Now the taliban is probably gonna put him through a shredder! What'll we tell Ernie?

I wonder what Big Bird is up to?

Al Qaeda threat assessment

[nobodyman]

Guess the FBI can cross out "Photoshop Skills" from their Al Qaeda dossier.

In Other news...

[neema]

Osama bin Laden reportedly vows to destroy America for the attacks it launched against Afghanistan. His evil partner Bert was quick to add "Oh, and we're going to blow up that fucking rubber ducky too."

Dubya bin Laden

[slickwillie]

Looks like we now know what happened to Ernie. He rigged the election in Florida, and is now occupying the White House.

Re:The next thing, translated

[warpeightbot]

Al your Queda are belong to us.

No, no, no.

Al your Qaeda are belong to U.S.

Get it right. :)

Re:Bert is simply...

[Leven Valera]

I think Bert has been deep undercover with Agent Ernie for about a decade now. We think he's gone native.

Give credit where due

[ez76]

This is about two years old and was originally "Iraqi TV Guide".

Parody

[sdo1]

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.

Please Support The Muppets

[TheMonkeyDepartment]

In this time of crisis, we need to be very careful not to show hatred or violence to other Muppets. Just because Bert wants to destroy humanity, that doesn't mean all the Muppets do. In fact, the majority of Muppets are peace-loving citizens.

I know you've all read the news stories by now. Someone shouted "Dirty Muppet!" and threw a bottle at Grover as he was crossing the street.
Ernie is under 24-hour protection at an undisclosed location. And in the most perverse story of all, someone tried to force-bathe Oscar the Grouch.

I hope you'll all attend the rally on Sesame Street later on this week, to show support for the Muppets. Remember: we are trying to destroy Bert, not all the Muppets.

Bert's last communication was a videotaped rant, calling on all "Muppets, puppets, marionettes and animated characters" to rise up and destroy civilization. He was last seen with cast members of Today's Special and The Great Space Coaster, asking for their support.

Nukes back on the table?

[imadork]

You think Afghanistan is in trouble now?
Just wait until the U.S congress finds out that they've violated copyrights!
They're doomed now!
