Sesame Street has a long and proud history of bringing social issues and introducing them to children. Ethnically diverse, taught me how to count to 3 in spanish, and Kermit must have been Appalaccian, with the banjo playing and all.
I would agree with
ustwo if they tried to introduce the AIDS muppet in the US... but in Africa where you have the adult population approaching 30%+ infected and dying it seems that a lot of children would be scared and confused and it was the responsible thing to do. Turning a blind eye is not a comfort they can afford over there.
If Cookie Monster ends up anywhere near Tofutti, though, I am calling Super Grover. No excuse for that crap.
