As previously noted, we at The Lo. Co. prefer Sesame Street above all other motivational training videos, mainly because unlike all the others, Sesame Street does not talk down to the employees. Nor does it accost the senses of The Managerial Staff with excessive shouting and/or abrasive pitches. Some companies may argue against Elmo, and in fact our own CEO does not particularly care for Elmo; however, Elmo as a creature is not intolerable, and at least can be admired for his good manners, enthusiasm, and sense of humor. I personally enjoy Elmo.

Here's who I do not like, leading me to the point of this addendum: Baby Bear and That Elephant Whose Name I Do Not Know. Baby Bear's code violation is not necessarily his own fault; as is suggested by his name, he baby talks. However, he does at this point have a younger sister, Curly Bear, so I feel he should no longer be using "w" sounds for "l" sounds, and in accordance with the Sesame Street culture, he should have a bit more intelligence.

And the elephant, or TEWNIDNK, he just freaks me out. The puppeteering for this creature is not Sesame Street's best work, as there is clearly a man inside that costume, and the neck, the lanky form--none of it is right at all for an elephant. Plus, he screeches. The Lo. Co. cannot abide by these histrionics, but considering all the other merits of Sesame Street, I suppose we will let it slide.

    I agree with you on Baby Bear. If I wanted my child to have a speech impediment I would have talked to her in baby talk myself!

    Now Grover, Grover is where it's at! He's full of puns and double entendres - a little something for the grown up set.
