suddenly i have a lot of questions about elmo
I don’t know if MEL Magazine is looking for another revenue stream (remember, they don’t have to be anxy about ads like the rest of us) but let’s be honest, they could totally charge admission to the kind of meetings where gems like Is “Sesame Street” Lying About Elmo’s Real Dad get pitched and I would one thousand percent be refreshing that eventbrite page as rabidly as that one time when white Brooklyn found out about the Valentine’s Day Carly Rae Jepsen party (ugh R E M E M B E R).
But yeah if you’re looking for a quick lil harmless yet unhinged Monday read, it is definitely worth your while to invest some time in “the biggest scandal in the Muppet universe.” (Follow up question in general about this Elmo and Louie — WHOEVER HE IS — video: if they are father and son, why are they on separate Zoom calls? shouldn’t they be quarantined at home together?) (Finally, never forget how exhausted Louie sounds during all this).
Anyway enjoy your Monday I guess but hey also don’t forget to donate to support Black trans people while you’re here!!
