Sesame Street Recognizes That Advertising Is Content... On A Horse... Cow
from the i'm-on-a-horse dept
Earlier this year, we talked about the viral sensation of the Old Spice "I'm on a horse" ads, which have since morphed into various other successful campaigns:Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re: Adult service
When I was in High School in the seventies I would come home from school to find my Mom watching Sesame Street. She always loved the Muppets and it was better TV than the soaps.

Course, it may just serve to sell more Old Spice... To kids.

Re: Sesame Street Parodying
Sesame street can go on climbing back into the public consciousness without fear of any real lawsuit.
Plus, all kids should be wearing old spice deodorant, and using the aftershave of course.

I think Sesame Street has had to update itself because of fresh competition like YoGabaGaba (which puts on an awesome live show).
