A new episode of long running children’s television program Sesame Street caused controversy by having Oscar the Grouch display the proper routine for injecting intravenous drugs, sources have confirmed.
“Just because you’re homeless doesn’t mean you can’t be safe,” said Oscar, while tying off his arm with an elastic band and looking for a vein in his arm. “I know you guys think I’m a grouch now, but you should see me when I blow a vein or can’t find a clean needle. Talk about grumpy. Now pay attention and watch what I do!”
The new episode caused outrage among concerned parents.
“That seems a little far, doesn’t it?” asked Brenda Clarke, an outraged local mother. “We’re all worried about what our kids are consuming, and yeah, maybe we get a little sensitive from time to time, but it’s just because we want the best for our children. I can’t imagine why they would need to learn the proper way to score and shoot a dime bag of black tar heroin, though. When I put the TV on and heard them say today’s episode was brought to you by the letter “H,” I figured I thought they’d be showing them horses and stuff. Boy, was I wrong.”
Executives defended the decision to show Oscar the Grouch feed his crippling addiction on the show.
“Look, Sesame Street has always been a place where we teach children what we think is important,” said Sesame Street executive producer Benjamin Lehmann. “And we think it’s important that the youth of today don’t grow up to be drug addicted and living in actual trash cans. Some have said we’re glorifying the use of heroin with this episode, but I think it’s the opposite. I think we’re showing Oscar at rock bottom. I mean, have you seen that trash can he lives in? It’s not even one of the big ones.”
The controversy was merely the latest for Sesame Street, which drew massive criticism earlier this year when Big Bird announced she was starting an OnlyFans account.
Sure this is satire (quite hilarious too) but its the reality of so many shithole larger cities today that are run by the ignorant liberals.Thanks to them so many once proud places in America are worse than most third world countries.
This sounds crazy. Last year in St Louis a church was handing out needles to homeless people so they would have clean needles. What is even funnier, is when the homeless were forced to move from that area, they left the clean needles behind.
Being stoned in Frisco is the solution for stepping in human excrement. As long as you don’t slip and fall in it, you won’t care.
We’ve lost too many of our loved ones to addiction, including my daughter and nephew. We don’t need our children being exposed to this on cartoons. All they have to do is Google the information.
