Sesame Street Introduces 'Todd', A White Male Muppet Who Is Blamed For Everything



Babylon Bee

QUEENS, NY—In a courageous new episode of Sesame Street, the puppets teach kids about social justice by introducing a new character, Todd-- a white male puppet who is blamed for everything wrong in the world.

Minutes into the episode, Todd is introducing himself to the other puppets and a prescriptively diverse cast of guest children, when he is confronted by Grover about Todd's culpability regarding a distant ancestor who fought for the Confederacy.

Later on, Todd works alongside the puppet Abby Cadabby to stock the shelves of Hooper’s store with Goya beans. His accidental revelation that he gets paid 30% more than her leads to Abby singing a tearful rendition of ‘Workforce Woes.’

The episode’s final sketch portrays Todd selling cookies without the requisite health warning labels, forcing Cookie Monster into obesity and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Because of the patriarchy.

60% of Todd's wages go to his ex-wife who keeps him from seeing his kids.

By calling the cops and claiming to feel threatened every weekend he has custody. They've threatened him with arrest three times in the last month for trying to see his kids.

And if you say this doesn't surprise you at all, you get downvoted. The woke crowd is up early.

If you downvote, but don't comment, I imagine you huffing off to drink your wine and stroke your cat and rage at the sky.

One of the meme pages I follow posted this today, and at least a little bit of faith in humanity was restored because the majority of the comments were people calling them out and saying they're shocked it didn't mention that the guy is white.
