Red? Blue? No, no. Regardless of your political platform, we can all agree the real winner of last night's debate was yellow!
It's no secret that politics are often for the birds, but that took on a whole new meaning Oct. 3 when
Governor Mitt Romney discussed cutting PBS' funding during the
2012 presidential debate. "I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS," he said, adding, "I like PBS, I like
Big Bird." And you better believe Big Bird's ears were burning!
That night: As soon as Mitt dropped the B-bomb, a Big Bird parody Twitter account — which existed long before the debate — chimed in with ridiculous commentary: "So I'm suddenly popular now because Governor Romney mentioned me....f**k you guys," @BigBird tweeted Oct. 3. "I'm trending tonight bc of this debate? Kiss my yellow ass. I've been here all along. I taught you to f***ing read and then you bailed." (True story, @BigBird.) A second parody account, @BigBirdRomney, was created immediately following Mitt's statement — move over, @AngiesRightLeg — and flooded Twitter with commentary throughout the night. My personal favorite tweet was
a photo of Grover being arrested for getting a little too heated over the whole situation.
