[Man in Elmo Costume arrested -- Edited title]

[astro]

A real shame it's come to this.

A man who haunts Central Park dressed as Elmo, the lovable Sesame Street character, was handcuffed by New York City cops yesterday and whisked away in an ambulance after he launched into one of his trademark anti-Semitic rants.

The unidentified man, who police say was not arrested, was removed from the vicinity of the Central Park Zoo, where he has alternately posed for photos with park visitors, screamed curses, and launched into diatribes about assorted Jewish conspiracies.

For instance, last week the man was filmed loudly complaining that he was not making money because “the Jewish cops” were harassing him. He also suggested that parkgoers read “The International Jew,” a notorious series of anti-Semitic pamphlets distributed about 90 years ago by the auto magnate Henry Ford.

Don't the Jews run all the hospitals too now? Boy he's going to be pissed when he finds that out.

How dumb can you get? If you are afraid of or dislike Jews or Judaism, New York is the worst place after Israel, it's got more Jews than Jerusalem

[levdrakon]

Mel? Nah, he'll be okay once they get him on the right drugs.

[Simplicio]

Are they sure it wasn't Gitmo?

Who would've thought a paranoid schizophrenic wouldn't have thought all this out more carefully.

I've heard that kind is hasty.

OK, I read the article, and nowhere does it say it was Mel Gibson. Is there a link to an article where it does say it is Mel Gibson?

[Musicat]

"After having his Elmo head removed, the costumed, middle-aged man was placed into an ambulance..." Jews have no tolerance for Elmos. Off with his head!

Gotta read between the lines.

[Jman]

I do believe the Mel Gibson part was a joke...

[Muffin]

I do believe that Mel Gibson is a joke.

[Jman]

Well, I guess that goes with out saying.

[Eve]

All Elmos terrify me.

Just think, in a decade or two, we will have to have this conversation all over again about his plan to retire to Florida.

I think the Mel Gibson thing was a joke.

[Shodan]

I thought it was Tickle Me Elmo, not Circumcise Me, but what do I know.

But the real question is: Was the anti-Semitic rant spoken in the third person?

"Elmo hates the filthy yarmulke wearing sub-apes. Elmo likes his friend Ahmed Ahmadinejad. Do you want to help Elmo destroy Israel?...we can have lots of fun!"


Somehow this sounded really funny in my head and looks really dumb now that I have typed it out...and my fingers feel all dirty. Yuck.

George is gettin' upset!

If I didn't know better, I'd think Andy Kaufman was alive and living inside that Elmo suit. Nah, on second thought, Andy wouldn't go that far for a laugh.

[Idle Thoughts]

Astro, please use accurate titles for your threads...the one you had previously, about Mel Gibson, was pretty misleading.

I've changed the thread title to show what the thread is really about.

[PlainJain]

So the Mel Gibson part was a joke?

[Covered_In_Bees!]

Has anyone mentioned that the now deleted Mel Gibson reference was a joke? Because the Mel Gibson reference in the OP was a joke.

[Rachellelogram]

Let's see... cross-multiply, carry the 2... GASP!!!! Mel Gibson is an anagram for Elmo Bings. This event was clearly manufactured by the Microsoft Jews to discredit him!

[Covered_In_Bees!]

I like apple juice better than Microsoft juice.

[silenus]

Wait...a joke about who now?

I like Juice Newton

[Autolycus]

Who is Juice Newton? Is she like Fig Newton?

[GuanoLad]

You mean Isaac Newton? I thought that was an apple, not a fig.

[Leaffan]

Here comes the tricky part.

[Zebra]

Talk about hitting you over the head with it.




I wonder if they took him to Mt. Sinai hospital?
