Three agencies are teaming up with Sesame Street to prepare school children for the new threat of the H1N1 virus.

The White House announced Tuesday morning that the Homeland Security, Education, and Health and Human Services departments are enlisting the help of Elmo and Gordon from the long-running educational show to teach children how to avoid H1N1, also know as the swine flu.

President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet with the secretaries of those three agencies and other administration officials later Tuesday afternoon to discuss the threat.

Elmo, Gordon, the Sesame Workshop and the federal agencies will try to teach children, through public service announcements, steps they can take to prevent contracting or spreading the potentially deadly flu strain.

> Robot Chicken had a skit where bird flu hit Sesame Street. Big Bird didn’t survive.

Actually, MADTY had the same skit!

I recall my kids watching that political propaganda called Sesame Street years ago. What a slanted, communist, brain washing program that was. After I was made aware of what they were all about, that Tokyo Rose production never again appeared on that TV.

I was amazed how they went after the tiny kids with their twisted political agenda.

Good. Maybe Elmo can teach obama a little bit of what productive Americnas learned as children.

I think the Idi Amin-wannabe realizes that many children have no idea who he is, because many parents switch the TV to static when he addresses his subjects or they’ve simply been told he’s not really the president.

Maybe he can go on ACORN Street and tell the kids to keep it in their pants.../s

LOL, neither did I until I did a google search for Big Bird.

If I had seen that image as a little kid, I would have been traumatized.
