Apparently there in an online petition sitting around in the Internet ether collecting support for the televising of the same sex marriage of the two confirmed bachelors Ernie and Bert from Sesame Street.
Campaigners say the best friends should marry as a way to encourage tolerance of gay people.
Nearly 7,000 have signed the petition, with more than 3,000 joining a Bert and Ernie Get Married Facebook page.
Producers from the programme have been rather dignified in their response to all this and have stated simply
"They remain puppets and do not have a sexual orientation."
I would have written just a two word answer!
In BIG letters
"THEY'RE PUPPETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yeah, come on, Ernie and Bert, name the date. And the honeymoon destination. Don't be shy.
ReplyDeleteI could say something about hands up puppets bums...
ReplyDelete...but I won't. It's Sunday.
Maybe Stadtler & Waldorf should be the first to tie the knot. They act like an old married couple.
ReplyDeletePuppets have feelings too, you know.
ReplyDeleteI think someone had too much time on their hands because I felt it was ridiculous! I mean its been working for them all these years, why complicate things by getting married??
ReplyDelete:-))
I've started a petition to acquire myself a small chateau at nearby Montcléra. So far I have just one signature; my own.
ReplyDeleteThat has flared up occasionally. Silly people. Everyone knows Grover and Ernie have a thing goin' on.
ReplyDeleteI like Cro Magnon comment. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove is love, John. Even puppet-love. Hot, sweet, sensual, puppet-love.
ReplyDeleteI hate political agendas. After all, it IS their closet... Leave them alone!
ReplyDeleteCro, where is this petition of yours? I'd like to add my name. When it's acquired can we all visit?
Allow puppets to marry? Why it would destroy the institution of marriage! Marriage is meant for human to human, NOT puppets! SHEEESH! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, John. Has Avenue Q not reached Trelawnyd yet?

Some people need to get a life. They are puppets!
ReplyDeleteI heard they got married in California quite a few years ago but then the law was stricken down. A renewing of the vows in NY would be nice since I think that is the home of Sesame Street. Perhaps Big Bird will officiate.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean puppets? I thought.... Oh no! This is worse than when I found out Father Christmas was really my dad.
ReplyDeleteFather Christmas is your dad, AJ? How come he knows my address? x
ReplyDeleteWOW AJ - I wish father Christmas was MY dad! LOL
