Not even Elmo, the beloved Sesame Street puppet, is safe from the internet’s ire. The little red monster got roasted for a tweet about the Super Bowl.
Ahead of Sunday’s big game, Elmo’s X/Twitter account posted: “Elmo just hopes both teams have fun!”
Seems innocuous enough, no? Not to the internet, apparently.
There were countless posts demanding Elmo stop riding the fence in the matchup between the Chiefs and Eagles.
There were also a number of jokes about sports gambling to Elmo, who, canonically, is 3.5 years old.
Pretty much everyone got in on the joke, even the Philadelphia Eagles’ account, as the team cruised to a championship.
This just goes to show that the internet will come after anyone at any time, including beloved children’s puppets.
