and Cookie Monster and Big Bird et al?

I think that event might truly cause rioting in the streets, with several generations coming together to mourn.

In other news, Christmas has been canceled because Santa was picked up by ICE and shipped off to a third world detention facility and Halloween was also canceled because an extremist right wing Christian group has deemed it the devil's work.
