I do also need to say that if I saw a man in tight bright blue pants, an American Apparel Big Bird t-shirt, fucked up glasses and with a pornstache, I'd probably call my cop neighbor to report a Suspicious Person. #americanapparelforsesamestreet
Anyone else think this hipster-esque version of Cookie Monster is just fucking wrong? I can't put my finger on it. It's definitely Cookie. But it doesn't look right.
@SomeAuthorGirl: Cookie Monster was so inclusive. Hipsters are so exclusive. There's the inherent snag in the plan. You just can't mix Cookie Monster with Hipsters. You just can't. #americanapparelforsesamestreet
So who at the show thought it would be a good idea for them to be associated with a dude who makes quasi-porn and jerks off in front of female reporters? Oscar the Grouch? #americanapparelforsesamestreet
I think that the actual puppets could produce better designs. Or maybe a robot. Or 1,000 monkeys working at a 1,000 art tables.
In completely unrelated news, my cat would like to announce his line of unofficial Electric Company tshirts. We're looking for nubile female kittens willing to pose in the fur for the ad campaign. #americanapparelforsesamestreet
Ew.
I know that's not a very profound thought and it's generally frowned upon leaving comments like that. But really? American Apparel shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Sesame Street and I now have the creeps. #americanapparelforsesamestreet
FWIW, American Apparel's bread and butter is actually in the promo world where they print up promotional T-shirts for clients, so I assumed that AA simply produced generic Sesame Street shirts. I work for a magazine that had promo shirts made by AA (ironically enough, the late Clamor magazine had AA print up promo shirts after running a damming expose of the company a few years ago). #sesamestreetamericanapparel
@berlitzfrench: I find things like this so disturbing, the taking childhood characters and making them sexually suggestive.. It just seems like once again, females are being simultaneously infantilized and sexualized. #sesamestreetamericanapparel
Why I can't say that I am surprised that American Apparel would lie through its teeth, I'm not sure how they thought that they would get away with it. Did they really think that they could send out a completely fictional press release and Sesame Street wouldn't find out? I guess it further proves my theory that there is a dearth of intelligence at AA headquarters. #sesamestreetamericanapparel
Big Bird responded: "Man fuck American Apparel. Do you know how hard it is to get a good pair of jeans that fit me? Why do you think I don't wear pants? Anyways their sizes are totally wack. Large my ass." #sesamestreetamericanapparel

I just came across the first ad for the collaboration. It looks like Animal would just....chafe.
