One in Four Muppets HIV Positive

SESAME STREET- According to a press release from the Children's Television Workshop, a muppet character is now known to be HIV positive. Based on this photo that brings the count of HIV positive muppets to one in four.

In the year 2001 zero cases of muppet HIV or AIDS were reported. In less than eight months that number skyrocketted. "This is like a 1000% percent increase" said Ernie. Big Bird suggested that all muppets count three of their friends and if they're all healthy it's probably you. The Count immediately demonstrated this technique: "One, one muppet without HIV, two, two muppets without HIV, three..."

The CTW would not comment on the possible cause of the dramatic increase in the infection in the muppet population.

Jerry Fallwell "Okay with it".

BIBLE BELT- Ironically, one of the few morality mavens coming out in support of the HIV-positive Muppet was none other than the Reverend Jerry Falwell. Falwell, who notoriously tried to out Teletubby Tinky Winky as more of a twinkly wanker, says he believes the new Muppet will have a positive effect, as long as she is eventually shown burning in hell for her horrible unnatural sinful ways.

HOLLYWOOD - The men and women who spend their days making Elmo and Cookie Monster come to life are voicing concerns about their working conditions. Specifically the health risks. With the disclosure of an HIV positive puppet in the cast, the muppet manipulators have cause for concern.

"Would you stick your hand up inside a puppet you knew was HIV positive? Talk about intimate contact." said Will Keegan a Henson puppeteer.

The Henson company has taken proactive steps to ensure the safety of their workers. Rubber gloves will be issued to all puppeteers and an HIV/AIDS education clinic will be offered.

Priest Sues Altar Boys for Seducing Him

BOSTON - The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys might be even more dangerous than we suspected. And a lot less innocent. Boston area priest Father Alex McMoaney is turning the tables in the recent priest pedophile scandal claiming the altar boy made him do it.

McMoaney is currently on trial for sexually molesting two twelve year old boys who served as altar boys in his parish. The cleric announced today he would counter sue the boys. In recent court procedings Father McMoaney rolled his eyes through most of the testimony against him. In his defense he had this to say about all the altar boys, "What the hell was I supposed to think -- they're lighting candles, and burning incense, handing me glasses of wine, sticking their tongues out to me -- oh yeah, they loved it when I'd feed them... and all the while they're dressed in satin robes? I mean really, talk about mixed messages!" Proceedings will continue tomorrow.
