Statutory rape is a difficult concept for children to understand, so if I had a kid, I'd just tell him that Elmo murdered 20 people and used their skin as lampshades.
Don't be ridiculous. There are several understudies trained by Clash himself to voice and puppet Elmo. The character is not going anywhere and parents won't have to say anything about this issue with Clash until their kids are old enough to understand.
I agree... but Lee Kenobi tends to go for attention whore-ish thread titles, so it doesn't surprise me.
Kevin Clash - Breaking the Mold on Negative Stereotypes of Gay Men as Sexual Predators of Underaged Boys .... hmmm too long?
In all fairness, the guy DID spend much of his day with his arm up the butt of a character who is supposed to be 3 years old...
