Sponsored by the Letter E

I thought I'd tell you about a funny story that happened last night with some friends. Someone said that Sesame Street used to have this "pusher" character that would push letters. You know, those guys in trench coats that open up their coat to reveal fancy stolen watches or something. Well this guy would push letters and numbers. Apparently Sesame Street stopped using that character because the kids that lived in areas where there were real pushers- of drugs and such- would grow up having good associations with these guys.

Someone said they could just picture a kid going up to someone that looked like this the pusher character; much to their surprise this person doesn't have letters- but drugs! And then I said, the kid would have said, "so that's what "E" is!" hehe Everyone laughed. I'm not usually clever like that, so I had to share it!

Here is one of those pusher episodes.


Also, if you want so see Neil Patrick Harris (Barney from How I Met Your Mother) "suit up" and sing about shoes, then look no further! hehe
