In Case You Missed It: The "Big Bird" Obama Ad

Hmmm. Sesame Workshop didn't mind Big Bird on SNL!

I understand Sesame Workshop (the Children's Television Workshop in my day) not wanting their set of Muppets being used in political advertising. But if right-wingers are crowing over the ad pull, just knock it off right now. First: the ad is still available online, and will live on into eternity on the interwebs. And secondly, Mitt Romney brought up Big Bird, and continues to use him as a stand in for the (miniscule) federal funding they get via PBS. If Big Bird is frivolous or somehow "unpresidential" to use in a campaign, tell your candidate. Meanwhile, the ad is rather cheeky and fun. I grew up with Sesame Street and The Muppet Show (not to mention The Land of Gorch on Saturday Night Live), so I kind of have a soft spot.

Mitt Romney Sings, I Like Big Bird (Rocky Mountain Mike)

As I said in a previous post, I had an unexpected work night, so my postings will be quickies, but entertaining quickies. This one is from fabulous parodist Rocky Mountain Mike (of The Stephanie Miller Show), spoofing Mitt Romney's declaration to defund PBS and Sesame Street. To the tune of Baby Got Back.
