Sort of disappointed that they didn't address the "Bert is Evil" craze of the mid-late 90s...

Not long after 9/11, a photo of Bert and Osama bin Laden from that site wound up on an anti-American protest poster in Indonesia, apparently placed there by a printer/profiteer who didn't know better. It got quite a few chuckles once members of the Western press spotted it.

That's why it pays to check your sources...
