I find it hilarious how conservatives seem to hate Sesame Street. There is something about that wholesome show that drives them up the wall and The Daily Show seems to share my amusement at this absurd reaction.
(This clip was aired on October 8, 2012. To get suggestions on how to view clips of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report outside the US, please see this earlier post.)
Actually, the damage that Sesame Street does is that it makes kids think that “learning should be entertainment” and in reality, learning is sometimes very hard work and often involves painful drudgery in order to get to “the good stuff”.
That pair of clips from Lou Dobbs really upset me 🙁
They saw this episode, which was so depraved they had to bleep out half the Count’s song.
