Last week during the first Presidential Debate Mitt Romney said that he would stop funding PBS if he was elected even though he is a fan of Big Bird and the late night shows ran with that. SNL, The Tonight Show, Conan and so on all came up with spoof videos, so when I saw Barak Obama’s latest ad I thought it was a joke. I mean it seems more like something that those shows would do rather than what the President’s camp would do. Could be because I watched all of those fake videos before the real one. Doesn’t it almost feel like a joke to you.
And you better watch it while you can because Sesame Street wants to educate them on their stance on politics. Sesame Workshop posted this statement on their site, “Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns. We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down.” It will be interesting to see if they do because I mean in their defense it was a smart thing to do after Big Bird’s boom after the debate. More people talked about our favorite yellow winged friend instead of the candidates for the next few days.
