Elmo runs rampant!

Good people, I come bearing great news today! While at work, doing my normal 'sit on my ass and fight sleep' routine, I started reading the paper and what do I see? A picture of Elmo The Grouch! Yes, ELMO- not Oscar. Under normal circumstances, after seeing or hearing about Elmo, disdain sets in. Not this time. Today, Elmo was a little drop of joy because some guy in a costume was being--and I kid you not--an all out asshole! According to reporters, Elmo was demanding money for photos and pushing tourists away that tried to snap pics. One child even said, "mommy, what's wrong with Elmo?" Can we say CLASSIC?! All of this happened in Times Square and served as a reminder to why I love NY! I mean, you just can't get randomness like that anywhere else(except maybe LA). Seriously, what can bring more joy than knowing that your child's favorite Sesame Street character is out there terrorizing kids AND the annoying tourists that seem to have taken over the vast majority of NY? If you ask me, this guy's a hero! But wait, there's a cherry on top. When asked why he was acting the way he acted, Elmo simply replied, "Elmo needs money too." LMAO!
