Big Bird and company protest

Occupy Wall Street!? Try this: Occupy Sesame street is the newest fad.

This thanks to the website Tauntr.com, which is posting perfectly photoshopped images of Sesame Street characters in the midst of the Occupy Wall Street protests..

One image shows Grover being arrested by strong-armed police..Another shows a sneaking Oscar the Grouch hiding from cops.. Elmo on the ground being cuffed.. Bert angrily being arrested.. and the Count crying after being pepper sprayed.

And now, after Tauntr’s efforts to parody with purpose, other sites and people who quickly getting into the act. The images are spreading like wildfire around the internet–and other Sesame Street related websites are popping up.

Another new fad during chaos.. humor during crisis. And a bigger message through laughter. The internet is showing the modern way people deal with problems.
