There are almost nine times as many hate crimes committed against Jews in the United States as against Muslims. Twice as many per capita. But I bet you wouldn’t have anything nice to say if 5 million of them moved to Israel and needed places to live.

I agree. I don’t get how people are falling all over themselves on this kid being a genius when he invented squat.

Intelligent how? For dismantling a store bought clock and putting it in a pencil case?

An intelligent human? He didn’t do anything for his project but take an already existing clock from Walmart, took the parts out of the casing and stuck it in a briefcase with some glue. That’s it. No, really. THAT. WAS. IT. He didn’t invent jack. He didn’t even take an already produced product and add anything that…

Further research into this family shows they've been pulling this crap on purpose hoping this would happen. They were going to leave regardless, they just wanted the huge payday.

I can’t pretend to understand the mindset that responds to a potential civil rights violation by moving to a country notorious for using slave labor.

Yes, after also meeting and hanging out with one of the worlds biggest murderers, sudanese president omar bashir, he then got a scholarship from qatar. Why dont you google “qatar isis” and check the links yourself. As for intelligent, he put the insides of an alarm clock into a briefcase - why is he intelligent?

Yep. I actually kind of share his point of view, but goddamn that fam shit. Every other point was irrelevant due to the fact it was coming from someone who thought “fam” is a thing grown ups say to each other.

I don’t think you watched Sesame Street at all. Oscar was not supposed to be the role model, honey.

Seriously, though, what the hell is “fam”?

Maybe it can never recapture the warmth and humor it had in the beginning. It’s pretty amazing that it ever happened at all.

when you have a kid, maybe you’ll understand

It’s not even really teaching stuff anymore. It’s just Elmo acting like a idiot.

Yeah, what kind of asshole parent researches if his kid’s educational programming is actually educational?

I had to get the Sesame Street Classic DVDs so I could show my kids the Sesame Street I loved. 70s-80s style. Not this sterile, heavy handed thing it has become.

The Venn Diagram depicting YOU and GETTING THE POINT have zero overlap.

Kids parents SHOULD be choosing their TV though. You can’t just say “well 3 year olds like it so it must be good enough.”

I have a ten-month old and I’m now watching Sesame Street again for the first time in about 35 years. The exact same thing has occurred to me...when the fuck did this turn into “The Elmo Show”?

Elmo did to Sesame Street what Urkel did to Family Matters. The show became all about Elmo. Where with Urkel it made the show better. Elmo turned Sesame Street into garbage.
