Sesame Street turns Sinister

What message is Bert really trying to get through to our children?

By Emma Kae - 18th September 2001 - Back to News

New evidence has come forth suggesting that one television character (currently in a position where he serves as an educator of our children) may be directly linked to extraterrestrial activity. This news has come after FBI photo files were found to contain photographic evidence of unexplainable crop circle structures on American soil. The incriminating confirmation came with the appearance of Bert (of Sesame Street fame) within the image.

Law enforcement has been unable to clearly explain why these findings were not made public earlier, while this new evidence has dumbfounded scientists and sci-fi fans alike. Discussion forums are currently being held online, to determine whether or not the seemingly harmless Bert should be allowed to remain onscreen. Collecting bottle caps and watching pigeons may seem like an innocent pastime, but could Bert be planning something a little more sinister?
