Okay, rant over

Thanks to whomever pointed me to this. Turns out Joel Schneider, vice president and senior adviser to the Sesame Street Workshop, said talks are under way to introduce an HIV-positive character to U.S. viewers.

With that bit of information, at least I can understand why the Republicans are going bugfuck. Not approve, though, but I understand. In any case, as johno pointed out, Sesame Workshop isn't directly funded by PBS, although the Committee for Energy and Commerce will probably try to pressure PBS into not buying those episodes.

We now return you to our scheduled edition of "What The Fuck". Tonight's edition: the Terrorism Information and Prevention System or Operation TIPS.

Just start handing out those Night Watch arm bands, everyone...

Things that make you go WHY?

How do you remake a Stanley Donen directed, Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn acted classic? And give it to frelling Jonathan "Silence of the Lambs" Demme for Christ's sake?
