To think Bert and Ernie should go ahead of the wedding and to hell with cookie monster ?

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

Pah, those miserable sods at Sesame ave called the wedding off as too controversial, I was rather looking forward to it, this would have been bigger than the royal wedding had it gone ahead

[itisnearlysummer]

Bert and Ernie are/were getting married?!

[Suncottage]

Is nothing sacred anymore? What does Big Bird think about it all?

[cheesesarnie]

no way!i wish they would,it would complete me!

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

Yes, finally it was all set to go ahead when this happened

Such a sad day.

[picnicbasketcase]

Oh, honestly.

[itisnearlysummer]

To be fair, I think we all saw it coming.

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

Has anybody even asked what Elmo thinks eh ?

[Georgimama]

It was never on was it, just a petition online to ask SS to do it?

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

I didn't

[picnicbasketcase]

I think they have a very good point - puppets don't have any sexual orientation, so why would they get married?

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

And why, may I ask, did mumsnet not support this petition ?

[FantasticVoyage]

Why do Bert and Ernie need to be married?

I don't remember a huge clamour for Morecambe and Wise to get married when they shared a bed.

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

Because they loved each other picnic ?

Or does that not count for anythig these days ?

[cheesesarnie]

picnic-they are not puppets!!!

[faverolles]

I thought Bert had died years ago

[StealthPolarBear]

do you think Ernie's just in it for the pension money then?

[picnicbasketcase]

Died? Do they usually kill off puppet character on Sesame Street?

[MyCatHasStaff]

Bert is fascinated by pidgeons
It would never have worked.

[thesortinghat]

Picnic that just made me lol :o

I want to know what Oscar the Grouch said, he strikes me as bigoted.

Didn't George, Zippy and Bungle share a bed, who knows what was going on there.

[faverolles]

My mistake, sorry . It was an unfounded rumour. I googled it.

In light of the fact he is still alive and well, I think they should get married to celebrate.

[cheesesarnie]

seriously i have to hide this thread,my children is disapearing down the drain.

[cheesesarnie]

childhood i mean .my children are fine

[Honeydragon]

they have lived together since 1969, why force them to partake in an outdated ceremony. It's just a piece of paper etc etc

[thesortinghat]

Is Rainbow a gay pride metaphor?

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

I know but they should be out and proud at the very least. Maybe a cermony of love ??
