Cookie Monster & Other Characters Wreaking Havoc in Times Square
 

Saw this on TV yesterday.

It seems that the Cookie Monster, Elmo and other characters are wreaking havoc in New York's Times Square.


"Cookie Monster stands accused of shoving a 2-year-old. Super Mario was charged with groping a woman. And Elmo was booked for berating tourists with anti-Semitic slurs.

Times Square is crawling with entrepreneurs who dress up as pop-culture characters and try to make a few bucks posing for photos with visitors to the big city. But some of these characters are unlike anything you've seen on "Sesame Street" or at Disney World.

They smoke, they use foul language, and they can be aggressive. At least three of them have been arrested in the past seven months.

"He was using words that were really bad," said Parmita Kurada of Stamford, Conn., who told police she got into a dispute this week with a man in a Cookie Monster costume who demanded $2 for posing with her 2-year-old son, Samay."

Some people have a sense of humor.

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger :shrug:

and what does kill you makes me stronger

maybe if we're talking about odor. dead bodies stink apparently.

Why? This is awesome.
Were you also molested by someone dressed as a sesame street character AND a priest at the same time?

not if you eat them first

This thread will give me nightmares. Thanks.

Auto-starting embeds should be a bannable offense.

That's what I was thinking. That shit is annoying.

I didn't plan it that way.

How do fix it??
