Elmo Puppeteer On Leave Following Child Molestation Accusations
First the BBC, then CIA, then Lockheed... and now Elmo!? AP reports, that: "The puppeteer who performs as Elmo on "Sesame Street" is taking a leave of absence from the popular kids' show in the wake of allegations that he had a relationship with a 16-year-old boy. Sesame Workshop said puppeteer Kevin Clash denies the charges, which were first made in June by the alleged partner, who by then was 23. "We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action," Sesame Workshop said in a statement issued Monday. "We met with the accuser twice and had repeated communications with him. We met with Kevin, who denied the accusation."" And yes, it appears that even for those who have their hand up Elmo all day long, nothing is sacred any more. The silver lining: Kevin Clash was not scheduled to testify on Benghazi.
The organization said its investigation found the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated. But it said Clash exercised "poor judgment" and was disciplined for violating company policy regarding Internet usage. It offered no details.
"I had a relationship with (the accuser)," Clash told TMZ. "It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to make it into something it was not."
At his request, Clash has been granted a leave of absence in order to "protect his reputation," Sesame Workshop said.
No further explanation was provided, nor was the duration of his leave specified.
"Elmo is bigger than any one person and will continue to be an integral part of 'Sesame Street' to engage, educate and inspire children around the world, as it has for 40 years," Sesame Workshop said in its statement.
"Sesame Street" is currently in production, but other puppeteers are prepared to fill in for Clash during his absence, according to a person close to the show who spoke on condition of anonymity because that person was not authorized to publicly discuss details about the show's production.
"Elmo will still be a part of the shows being produced," that person said.
If nothing else, this latest episode of America being unable to hold it in its pants (potentially illegally) certainly gives "Big Bird" (whose funding is now safe) a very different context...

Tickle me?
on 2nd thought... DON'T...
The new busy comment:
"I'm up to my elbows in assholes."
You didn't molest that!
In candy factories they tell the workers they can eat as much of the product as they want because they know they will quickly tire of eating so many sweets.
Too bad that doesn't work with child molestors. I guess Sandusky is getting a room mate.
What about brewery workers?
Not that it's not criminal... but I believe the term for this act is "Underage sex" and not "Child molestation".
Can't wait for the "Elmo is HIV positive" episode on Sesame Street
And what ObamaDon'tCare ain't gonna do about it.
Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing...???
Elmo's gonna need therapy.
surprise surprise
"Laughter is the best medicine", according to the Readers' Digest.
Come and play
Everything's A-OK
Yeah, like they didn't know this was going on...

Brokeback Elmo..........
I look forward to seeing your posts; you get off some good ones.
He thought it was Diddle me Elmo
You know there is a cover up going on....Big Bird definitely knew what was up!
Is he also a member of CFR?
I think in the Samuel Adams corporate offices they are still allowed to drink on the job. The actual brewery workers though can't due to safety/product quality issues.
!! LOL. Well, apparently it was a children's show with an "adult" under-current, so to speak.
I did not have sex with that muppet.
"I did not have sex with that muppet."...correct, the government did it for you.
grown men playing with muppets all day......anyone expect anything less than rape charges, dropped?
NEVER trust anyone who refers to themselves in the third person.
This includes Elmo and Bob Dole.
I've found that's a pretty good principle; also of course, I agree with your two examples. When George, (mental cripple) Bush referred to himself as "the decider"; I groaned to think what had become of our nation. But then I didn't know about the Kenyan poster boy for early term abortions yet.
I don't understand why some of these crotchety free thinkers don't like choosing between Team DeadBaby and Team EndlessWar
but but......watta bout "Turd Ferguson"
at least Dole has Alzheimers as a defense
I heard Kermit is going down for abusing Miss Piggy...btw, if this turns out to be true I hope they either into population or in a cell with Jerry Sandusky.
This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. You have to wonder about a man who spends years getting paid to stick his hand up a little boy Muppet's ass all day long.
Here's how America can clean up its entertainment:

Gives new meaning to fisting.
And a really bad visual..............
"Elmo is bigger than any one person...
Unfortunate choice of words.
Hey, he was a hand pupeteer; what did you'all expect.
When Cookie Monster is done, he's very unambigous about it.
Poor Elmo. Everyone is taking a shot at him these days. It's entirely possible Sesame Street is sex-trafficking him.
BTW, we live in a time when one can google Elmo Sex Tape knowing, with the highest degree of confidence, that something like this will turn up in the search results.
This is what we have invented in the US. ;-)
Yes. I found this after you posted it on TMZ's website, and there's a new & disgusting definition of "milk'n'cookies" at Urban Dictionary now.
porn culture, working as intended. . .
I'm tired of these Justin Bieber stories.
TICKLE MY SCROTE, ELMO!
"elmo is bigger than any one person--" ?? Oh, really. Now, that's interesting.
romney was right about one thing: pull the plug on the pedophiles (cept "Big Bird")
Let me asssure you that the Sesame Street Workshop, and affiliates, take the homosexual age of consent very seriously.
Mitt was on to something.
The release of this story delayed so as not to affect Big Bird voters.
It's official, the government sponsors child molestation.
Elmo's other world.
Bring out the "bird".
That's not news to any Penn State alumni.
I got news for you - this story is gonna get bigger. I have it from a strong source that Big Bird was there too!
He's down for The Count.
Three, three-some ... Ah Ah Ah AH!
Regards,
Cooter
Today's episode is brought to you by the letters K and Y.
Makes you wonder what skeletons got buried with the Count.
and the numbers 6 and 9.
Yum, peanut butter and Kentucky Jelly!
deleted Damn you CrimsonAvenger!!!!
The Swedish Chiefs sticky fingerprints are all over this.
And there has been a salmonella outbreak on "the Street"
"We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action," Lets see 23-16 = immediate.....yeah i can see that, same math Penn State used.
But not Miss Piggy, she was with Blankfein.
Miss piggy is too busy managing her silver shorts.
Fuckin' A mate!
That's what Elmo said!
Protip: punctuation is your friend.
The real questions are, "What did he know, and when did he know it?"
ALL the "puppetteers" on Wall St. & "K" Street are perverts...
look at the Savile scandal... power and child rape go hand in hand... have for a long time. just part of serving molach.
Well, look on the good side...at least we know know why Wall Street refers to us all as "muppets".
Maybe if this puppeteer put his hand up Obozo's ass it would prevent him from bowing to every damn foreigner. Hey, Obozo, if you claim to represent me, STAND UP STRAIGHT, you SOB!
No room to get his hand up O's ass. He needs to tell Soros to remove his fist first.
You'd think putting his fist up Elmo's ass would be enough of a thrill.
We all must give thanks for the New Monday Twisted Humor tradition being established.
I rarely bitch about content but seriously?!?
Please don't tell me that you're pining for more hard hitting economic [man on the floor] Art Cashin fluff pieces...
Only if it is followed by Gimperman, Aziz, and Simon Black.
LOL ~ A "Yahtzee" like that would almost be unfathomable... But to your point ~ refer to the NEXT thread...
Are you saying you'd prefer something more graphic?
A chart of Elmo Doll sales overlaid with molestation allegations of the past would have been too much?
Suspecting all Elmo collectors...
don't forget the 3-D charts... After all ~ "we're supposed to be professionals here"...

Actually a sick, twisted man behind the cute, colorful public character is a perfect analogy for our system
Actually, you're 100% correct.
Hey, it's Elmo's World. The rest of us just get to live here.
What a corrupt, perverted, sick and a-moral world we have built for ourselves.
You're so right... Now how are my stocks doing today?...
Getting stuffed
Well played, sir...
Don't include me I didn't work to build nothing. I won't work. But I'm pushing bitcoin as the currency for a new digital democracy project that will replace the NWO when it collapses or simply will supercede it.
You got to wonder when the guy makes a career out of sticking his hand up somethings ass.
Soros and Buffet seem to make a good living doing the same thing with the flesh-clad variety of puppet.
Exactly.
leave Becky out of this !!
She's gotta know those two old pervs are just sitting there salivating...
Some of us older guys will remember the good olde days when a proctoscopic exam was done with a big chrome tube inserted into ya when you were on a funky table with your butt straight up in the air. Damned things looked like periscopes, were huge and hurt like hell.
One of my more twisted buds was right in the middle of getting an exam and just like with the dentists, they make chit chat with you whilst having a tube up your arse...
So my bud, right in the middle of the excruciating pain, asks the doc what he found most rewarding about his job....
Not a good idea.
Kinda like voting for Obie
My wife used to call the device the "silver stallion"
Just glad that medicine has moved beyond that. I was anesthetized.
Oh yeah, the good ole days.
Now my female urologist lubes up her finger, pokes around, then tosses me a towel and says, "Clean yourself up."
Some guys pay a lot more than my $15 copay for such fun.
Can I get your Dr.'s phone number?
Weekend Tyler went off the reservation. How is the related to the serious global and national financial problems that we face and are interested in?
Just another morally bankrupt social program doing it's part to financially bankrupt what's left of this morally bankrupt shell of a nation-state. Nothing to see here... rally on.
Karma.
Because you will be burnt up focusing on that shit all the time.

PBS, your tax dollars at work.

Would appreciate an analyis of the Beazer Homes earnings over this Elmo story. Guess it is a slow day.
That's what your Goldman360 is for (who are axed both to buy and sell). But since you are too lazy to pull it up, here it is:
And now you know everything there is to know about Beazer, and the housing market, which is perfectly self-sustaining, unsupported by foreclosure stuffing, and/or $40 billion in MBS purchases every month.
In other news, feel free to continue "analyzing" a perfectly broken and manipulated market. Also, never, ever flip coins and buy stocks.
L-Fing-O-L
He just got Elmo'd
Figures... 'Muppets' hang on every GS press release...
The US prints dollars, spends those dollars to buy oil from OPEC countries, who are supposed to use their surplus profits to buy US debt. If these OPEC countries are now buying gold with their excess dollars then their dollars are not going into US debt, so the Fed has to vacuum up this portion of US debt purchases in addtion to its buying to keep rates down and give give the appearance of US debt as a safe haven. With the OPEC dollars going into gold and other currencies (China Russia currency swaps) how will we be able to tell the rate at which dollars are begining to flood (dumped) into the market instead of US debt. As the flow increases would this be the primary signal that the dollar has entered the final phase and is begining its plummet to Zimbabwe land?
We now return to our ongoing coverage of Elmogate...

This was from the "Perez Hilton" Tyler.
Is big bird ok?
Kevin thought is was normal to put his hand up the little guys ass.
Elmo likes hand up his ass
You want to see the Elmo in my pants?
Grown men running around as clowns and puppeteers give me the creeps. Somebody had to say it.
Netanyahu false flag excuse to bomb the Arab Sesame Street.
i wonder if he works at the squid at night. sounds like hed fit right in.
"....DO I LOOK LIKE A MOTHER FUCKING ROLE MODEL? TO A KID LOOKING UP TO ME, LIFE AINT NOTHIN BUT BITCHES AND MONEY" ...NWA (IC)

Let Drudge dredge this stuff up, not ZH.
Elmo's got mail! Oh look, a subpoena!

Don't worry about it Elmo, Penn state needs a coach.
One Wonders if this is payback from Bigbird giving Oh, the Littlebird?
In this country we are guilty until proven innocent...since becoming Bizarro World
I thought the muppets were getting fucked. Now they're doing the fucking?
Why did Big Bird spend so much time at the White House. What is Obama not telling us?
He can always go to work for the TSA.
Is it just me? Kevin and Elmo look like they share some common "genealogy"...
tickle me elmo. :snark:
you want to steal money, go where the money is.....you want to fuck little boys, go where the children are......SO SIMPLE !
No wonder I got hurt in the Green Bay locker room.
No Child's Behind Left!
Sesame street to big to fail.
This is not the muppet you are looking for. Move along.
They will pin it on peanuts the puppet to cover for elmo.

Bah. If the boy was 16, that's hardly "child molestation."
That's more a rape (or possibly statutory rape) scenario.
In Hawaii the legal consent age is 14; if the dude was 16; I would say, seriously; it's one of those ridiculous made-up government laws. A 16 year old is old enough to decide if he likes something or not; the "law" just provides an opportunity to play "victim" and get free publicity; both disturbingly popular elements in our degenerate "culture".
"Child molestation" is a horrible thing, and it's really irresponsible to throw the word around lightly. This whole "article" is just click-bait.
I see very little reason for statutory rape legislation, but it's pretty popular nationwide. The age of consent varies a good bit from state to state. In NYS it's 17.
this pedophilia fever looks like sexual derivatives play; all concentrated in specialised professions alike the financial derivatives scam : priesthood, media barons, politicians.
Obviously to appeal to young adolescents you have to be media merchant and your image impeccable; or man of god & state.
Innocence is bliss as they say, until it hits you like Jaws.
C-c-c-can't we call just Fraud and F----k along? LOL.
Elections, YUP, elections have consequences. under the desk, and with puppetty of the penis.
Audits anyone? giggle, anybody want a Futures position on it?
Collar it, lol....
Oh promise me, not to...
I didn't know Kevin Clash worked for JPM?! Interesting, it appears they take fisting the muppetts seriously.
pea we herman at least like adult porn..these self important jerks at PBS wish they had showers at penn state-just looking at the likes of moyers et al and you get the heebeejeebees if you are not half stoned. pediaphile by the state= PBS.
Tyler,
What a down low post.
maybe it was actualy elmo.....who would beieve im?
it smile time http://youtu.be/S4PTokDh-Ew?t=3m8s ;-)
What about Elmo? Is anybody thinking about Elmo?
Did he do anything to Elmo?
"....relationship with a 16-year-old boy."
That's considered a relationship now? Sick.
I bet $50 that puppet reeks of fear and lube.
Muppet or not, only solution for any sexual predator is death upon conviction.
Every state in the country must consider:
In times of economic hardship, consider any and all revenue streams.
Build a gallows.
Sell television rights...pay per view or commercial broadcast revenue.
Ideal place/time to carry out said execution is on Saturday, late morning, in any public square. (Draws a lot more people)
Hang 'em high for all to see!
Bring the family!
*Posting shortly on how to deal with banksters, corrupt crony capitalists/politicos, murderers, and purse snatchers!!!
Hey, Elmo and Muhammad have something in common with Sandusky! Who would have thought that?!
/
16 is the age of consent in many states and countries - and was the age at which most females were married (if not earlier) through most of post-classical European history and elsewhere in the same time period, and the age difference was often 20, 30, or even 40 years.
I find it doubtful that TMZ has a problem with homosexuality (the ZH crowd is a different and more reactionary matter but I pay such ironically Christian bigotry no mind) so what exactly is the big motherfucking deal here?
Doesn't appear that it's being made out to be a "big deal" here to me. Just another story. However it appears that "thou dost protest too much" and are making some rather unrealistic assumptions based on the rather thin facts that are presented. Get hold of yourself man.......or whatever flavor you happen to be. I don't think most of us care really. I know I don't.
