In the spirit of a new Muppets movie, lets take a look at the less appealing puppets of Sesame St.  Granted, I have always had more  of a warm spot in my heart for Jim Henson Muppets and less care for Sesame St, but after Tickle Me Elmo came into this world, I have distanced myself from anything Sesame St.  There is only so much "he he he, that tickles" you can hear before wanting to throw that red, fuzzy imp through the open window of a speeding car. Sesame Street has now introduced Lily, the puppet dealing with food insecurity.  I will probably burn in Hell for laughing but what are the first things that enter your mind when you think of this?  If you are thinking that Lily meets Oscar by digging through his trash can, or that Cookie Monster better start forking over that secret stash of Chips Ahoy to feed Lily, your most likely burning right next to me. 

The intended message is to raise awareness of children's hunger and poverty in the world (in all seriousness, I believe this is definately issue), but  I think Lily has an upper hand on the rest of Sesame Street.  By the time this hungry puppet reaches college, she will already know how to survive on left over Taco Bell and Top Ramen. ... Don't question left over Taco Bell, if you are broke and have a leftover burrito, you DO NOT throw that out!  Stick it in the fridge, its breakfast before that 9am class...
