Larry David was waiting to do a spot on the Today Show while the Elmo puppet was there to discuss Mental Health. David suddenly couldn’t bear the Elmo voice a moment longer, zoomed over and briefly wrung Elmo’s neck.
Okay, on a live segment about Mental health, maybe not the best judgment, but I think we can all agree this is an overreaction.
Wil Wheaton, if you don’t recall, is a 51-year-old man who played the child character on Star Trek: Next Generation. Fans hated the character, I guess. I wasn’t a fan of any of it. He’s grown up with be a loud, whiny D-lister.
Now that I think about it, were they discussing mental health with under-fives or were they using a puppet intended for under-fives to Discuss Mental Health with adults? It smells funny.
