Sesame Street Has Gone Gangsta

School Bans Sesame Street Gang T-Shirts

BROCKTON, Mass. -- Brockton High School has banned T-shirts with Sesame Street characters. But these are no regular pictures of Bert and Ernies. On some, Oscar the Grouch emerges from his garbage can, wielding a 9 mm handgun. On others, Bert and Ernie are standing in a gang posture, armed with automatic weapons."We were amazed," said the school's principal, Susan Szachowicz. "You focus on the Sesame Street character. But the more we looked at it, the more we saw the things in it, the guns, the gang stuff."There have only been a few shirts at school, but officials said students are being told to stop to stop wearing them because of the pro-gang message. School officials also said they violate the school dress policy.Last week, Brockton was awarded $685,000 in state anti-gang funding.

I like how Bert is to busy with his 40 to be bothered. Oscar is putting up the middle finger, but there weren't any good shots of it.

Hahaha. I saw a kid wearing a Seseme Street a few weeks ago. It was amazing. It had Bert putting a gun to Ernie's head.

I'm going to puke...

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I see shirts like this all the time at the mall I work at - Super Mario Brothers, The Simpsons, Spongebob Squarepants, all depicted like Scarface, or The Sopranos, or gangsters, or something, and I really hate it.

 

[Tissues]

All the kids on the show would be child prostitutes and crack dealers. :heart:

Three or four years ago (whenever that was) in my sophomore Honors English class in high school for a project some people created a Brave New World style Sesame Street full of drugs and sex. Funniest thing I'd ever seen in my life.
