Man creates petition for Bert and Ernie to wed on Sesame Street.

A Chicago man has posted an online petition for Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie to get married. His reasoning?

1.) Gay marriage is legal now in New York City.
2.) It would give gay and lesbian children role models to look to.
3.) Let's face it, we all know Bert and Ernie are lovers.

I support this idea, if only because I believe all puppets should be in love, even the gay ones.

Kermit and Miss Piggy? If their love became any more blatant, Sesame Street would need black bars across the screen and a "very special episode" where Big Bird explains the birds and bees. At least Bert and Ernie wear clothes. Kermit doesn't even afford us that much.
