Osama ben Bert: Muslim protesters use bin Laden posters featuring Sesame Street puppet Muslim protesters are using posters showing the face of Osama bin Laden alongside Bert, the Sesame Street puppet. It is believed an image of bin Laden with Bert has been inadvertently downloaded from a spoof website. It has then been used on collage posters printed off to be used by protestors at rallies across the Middle East and Asia. Photographs of protesters clearly shows them holding posters of Osama bin Laden with a small image of Bert by his right shoulder. The Associated Press told Ananova the photos are genuine and not doctored. The image of Bert and bin Laden first appeared in the cult parody website Bert is Evil. An executive for Sesame Street said: "We're outraged that our characters would be used in this unfortunate and distasteful manner. The people responsible for this should be ashamed." ananova.com
