The web has been abuzz lately with rumors of Bert and Ernie getting married. Ever since i've been old enough to question it, Bert and Ernie have always confused me. Are they gay? are they just two friendly men who happen to like having their genitals touched by anything warm?
Finally i have an answer to my questions. Sesame Street released this statement on the subject.
“Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.”
So to sum that up, "Don't be fucking stupid, they are puppets. It's not real."
in case you still weren't sure, here's a photo of Bert and Ernie with another guys hands up their arses.
(EDIT - haynezeeboy) Of Course these wonderful arsehole penetrators were the geniuses Jim Henson (R.I.P) and Frank Oz.
Bert & Ernie are just two dudes. Never thought they were gay.
ReplyDeletebut you need to show some more respect for the legendary puppeteers.
We see Frank and Jim as more than puppeteers, which they were/are. They were pioneers in creating living characters from something as lifeless as a rock and developing many differerent stories for us to believe in as children and children at heart.
ReplyDeleteWe have respect for them but we just have a strange way of showing it.
