Big Bird will face hurricane in special episode of Sesame St

[Jenna]

Poor Big Bird can’t catch a break. In October, presidential candidate Mitt Romney threatened to effectively

fire the Muppet

by defunding PBS. Later that month, Mr. Snuffleupagus’s BFF had to contend with costume retailers selling unlicensed

“Sexy Big Bird” outfits

. And on Friday, the yellow guy will face his biggest challenge yet: A devastating hurricane that rips through Sesame Street, destroying Big Bird’s nest and leaving his entire neighborhood in chaos.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say FEMA will show up and save the day. Big Bird won't have his claim denied, second guessed, or delayed. He will learn how he can trust and depend on the government in his time of need. Bonus points if a higher up government official makes a cameo and gives the bird a hug.

I'm kind of hoping that they have the neighborhood all pulling together, helping each other to fix the damage and clean up.
