Things We Saw Today: Big Bird Smacks Down Sexy Big Bird Costumes

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:27 pm, October 20th, 2012


Big Bird is getting a lot of press these days. Most recently, Buzzfeed revealed Sesame Street Workshop issued a cease and desist order on Yandy.com for selling the above costume and more “sexy” versions of their characters without permission. Update: Yandy.com emailed us to let us know that they considered this post to be using their already watermarked image without attribution and asked us to include a link. They even suggested some html to use! How nice. Here it is:

    I’m sure Yandy isn’t so happy that their costumes went viral, now.

    “Sexy Big Bird.” There is nothing right with that phrase.

    Upon seeing the Brave/How to Train Your Dragon mash-up, I now want to see this for reals. And I know it will never happen. {sigh}

    Apart from “Sexy Big Bird” being wrong on so many levels, CTW/Sesame Street makes a large portion of their funding from merchandising, so they are stealing from them. Carol Spinney, who performs Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, says that you support Sesame Street remaining on the air when you buy their official toys and merchandising.
