SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - Evil Elmo was sighted at Rossi Park and Fishermans Wharf last weekend.
A street beggar dressed as the beloved Sesame Street character, poses for photos and then cusses out tourists who don't pay up. Parents complained last weekend that their children were traumatized by the unexpected profanity. Videos of Evil Elmo's tirades went viral on the internet in 2009, 2010 and this summer when he was arrested by New York City police in Central Park and Times Square. The tirades are rich in anti-Semitic slurs, and in recent media interviews, Evil Elmo claims that he is being harassed by international Jewish costume companies regarding recent court rulings on copyright infringement. Lawyers for the Children's Television Workshop would probably also like to teach him that "I" spells "intellectual property."
In their recent investigations, journalists have learned more about the man under the Evil Elmo costume. For example, parents have seen him sleeping in a rental car, and in 1999, he was deported from Cambodia for running a pornographic website called "Welcome to the Rape Camp."
Normally, I would not gratify such an individual by printing his name, but (sigh) it's Adam Sandler. Calm down! He's no relation to the Saturday Night Live alum that talks through his nose. However, I want you to sit for a minute and just consider how fast you were willing to believe that the annoying comedian could've sunk so low, so fast.
By the way, what ever happened to Joe Piscopo anyway?
