Elmo Decries Jewish Conspiracy
Elmo’s latest outburst has PBS and the First Amendment under siege. After the federal government slashed public broadcasting funds, the beloved red muppet snapped—launching into a bizarre rant on “Elmo’s World” about censorship, corporate influence, and political corruption. Authorities responded with overwhelming force: a SWAT raid on Sesame Street, sealed warrants, and cries of “domestic muppet extremism.” Puppets were detained, trash cans overturned, and cookies confiscated. Critics say it’s a chilling escalation of free speech suppression. Muppet veterans Statler and Waldorf called it “the worst show we’ve ever seen.” Satire or serious overreach? You decide.
