He did? What happened? The way you said it and with everything going on in the media I’m half expecting you to tell me Elmo is dating a 15 year old or something.

Poisoning masculinity and the minds of young men, you say?

If they didn’t know exactly what they were doing, they would never accuse others of it.

The way he’s talking, it sounds like he doesn’t know it’s a puppet.

Apparently that’s legit a problem when a character like Elmo or Kermit shows up in real world interviews, Muppeteer disappears into the role so well the person they’re talking to will seemingly forget, mic up the puppet, etc.
