Kevin Clash resigns as Elmo in wake of sex scandal:
1:16PM EST November 20. 2012 – Kevin Clash has resigned as Elmo’s puppeteer, little more than a week following news of a sex scandal involving the longtime Sesame Street staple.
Clash, 52, had been accused by a Pennsylvania man of having a sexual relationship when the man was 16. Later last week, he recanted, claiming he was an adult at the time, and Sesame made plans for Clash to return to work.
There seems to be a perverts epidemic in this world and it is getting bigger day by day.
I cannot be convinced that all of the promiscuity on TV, in the media and in the movies doesn’t play a big part in the growth of this sick problem.
Every-time we turn on the “tube” in recent years the producers of this garbage are slamming this trash at the viewers; is pathetic and getting worse.
I know what all of the do gooders say “if you don’t want to watch it turn it off”. I am not talking about the normal, half way intelligent viewers that can make the rational choices; I am referring to the young kids that are easily influenced and the wackos out there that are living on the edge.
It isn’t long after some nuts case shoots up a movie theater and kills a dozen people that we hear about another six more sicko’s that are trying to following suit. Tell me that is not influence.
The kids today that are growing up in these environments have no clue that these conditions that exist today were taboo years back when there was a different concept of what is acceptable/normal and what was not.
I have a lot of sympathy for the generations to come. Their role models are becoming far and few in between.
The sex thing has gotten so far out of hand that there was an unwritten law in San Francisco that the eccentric gay blades were allowed to walking around naked. It gotten so far out of hand that the local government is trying to make it against the law for these flaming exhibitionists to strut the goods around. Why was this nonsense ever tolerated in the first place?
Does there always have to be a catastrophe or a grave incident before the ostriches with their heads in the sand that make these rules/laws opens their eye.
There is absolutely no harm with “old school” values that have been lost over time.
Now the kids have another role model they can look up to; Elmo’s buddy a sex pervert.
Just a small example of letting things get out of control but in a different area. The Mexican government; because of the corruption in law enforcement and other issues let the drug situation in their country get way out of control. Now the drug lords are ruling the country.
I am sure that the more intuitive people that are reading this will get the drift!! There has to be control to maintain stability.
