Sesame Street Just Went After A Company For Using Bert And Ernie In STD Ads

Rarely do any other Sesame Street characters besides Bert and Ernie get used in unrelated subject matter like this, particularly when it comes to the characters theoretically having sex with each other.

Though sharing is another lesson the show teaches, none of the Muppets are talking about sharing or not sharing sexually transmitted diseases, yet a new health tech startup has earned the grouchy ire of Sesame Street for the unauthorized use of characters Bert and Ernie in a picture promo about STD awareness.

You can currently watch the still-kid-perfect Sesame Street in its first season on its new home at HBO.
