The face of an adorable, adored Muppet. It's one thing to threaten a broadcasting company, it's quite another to want to kill Big Bird. The issue has legs. Multiple generations now have grown up on Sesame Street. My kids are in college and they are PISSED about the threat to Big Bird! The rest of PBS, too, of course, but they grew up on Sesame Street. We went to a lot of 'Sesame Street Live' shows, too. It means a lot to them. And they vote.
