Love Blooms on Sesame Street

I don't know why, but this just strikes me as a little amusing and a little disturbing. Even more disturbing is the IM banter I just had with my husband:

Not sure why, but this slightly disturbs me... http://babble.com/CS/blogs/strollerderby/archive/2008/08/20/love-blooms-on-quot-sesame-street-quot.aspx

HANDSOME says:
that is a bit disturbing

MOXIE says:
Love blooming on Sesame Street...Snuffy and writer, sittin' in a tree, k i s s i n g....weird.

HANDSOME says:
I bet that writer was doing some snuffing herself later that night

MOXIE says:
HA! Or petting Slimy. Talk about weird sex toys.

HANDSOME says:
true- there would be no kissing and "telly" with them

MOXIE says:
Maybe a little tickling the Elmo, though.

HANDSOME says:
I wonder if he has a big bird?

MOXIE says:
Nah, probably a Baby Bear...

HANDSOME says:
are we sick in the head?

MOXIE says:
Most likely. Duh.

HANDSOME says:
you make me smile

How stupid are we that we can put sexual innuendos into Sesame Street romances? Pretty stupid or just pretty bored at work. Or maybe it's a way of keeping our parental sanity.

BTW, I miss old school Sesame Street. It's depressing to see Gordon and Maria old. And the voices aren't the same for some of the characters. And I intensely desire to punch Baby Bear smack in his obnoxious lisping face.
