If I wanted to get picky, I'd say something about "proper quoting" and
"literary correctness."

But it was really just a flimsy excuse to present a quite evil picture
of the Sesame Street gang :-).

Of course, it's slightly less evil than the "Gay Ernie and Bert"

But the bizarrest one of all was when reality imitated fiction.

Someone in Bangladesh was making a "Osama bin Laden" collage poster
(apparently this has been a common business there?), and printed a
couple thousand posters that included a picture of Bert.  That was far
and away the funniest thing I saw in all of 2001...
