    I don’t see him breaking any laws; what right did the cops have to detain him?

  • Why the surprise?

    <begin sarcasm>Elmo originates from the Palestinian teritorries, you should see him when he hangs out in his homeland. Holywood brought him here, tamed and domesticated him, so our soft hearted children wont get a ‘negative message’. But this video is the real Elmo, albeit no Palestinian accent<end sarcasm/>

    I’ve always wanted to kick Elmo in the gefilte. This would have been a perfect opportunity.
