I’m going to say that this gentleman dressed in an adult sized Elmo costume doesn’t represent the thoughts and views of the original fuzzy Elmo from Sesame Street. I’m just basing that on the fact that in all the years I’ve known of Elmo’s existence I’ve never heard him utter an anti-Semitic, xenophobic remark, whether it be on the show or in a rare moment when Elmo was caught by the paparazzi coming out of a nightclub drunk with Lindsay Lohan.
So you can understand why it was so unnerving to hear the beloved Elmo spewing hateful, anti-Semitic rants in New York City’s famed Central Park this past Sunday. To say the people enjoying a fine sunny day at the park were a bit shocked would be an understatement…normally it’s Oscar the Grouch who’s in the middle of the park screaming at little kids while reeking of garbage (or so I’ve been told).
Cops ended up surrounding the offending Sesame Street character, removed his costume head, and helped load him into the back of a waiting ambulance where he was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Apparently the unknown middle-aged man has been doing this for months.
Here’s video of crazy, Jew hating Elmo scaring the bejeesus out of park goers…
Would it surprise anyone else if the middle-aged anti-Semite in the Elmo costume turned out to be none other than Hollywood heavyweight Mel Gibson?
