Sesame Street – Review

stuff-sesame200Sesame Street

by Scott Hefflon

Because we’re called Lollipop, we get a lot of weird email and packages. We used to get Shirley Temple Black’s fan email (“Good Ship Lollipop,” in case I’m losing you here). Those people were creepy. And they think we’re weirdos… There are a couple kid’s mags or sites with the word Lollipop in ’em, and, of course, there’s Lollipop Lingerie and various teen porn sites.

While Sesame Street’s people politely withdrew once they saw scantily clad 18+ models in Fuck Subtlety shirts and my “Corrupting the Youth, One Sucker at a Time” email signature, we love this stuff!
