You know Osama’s dead when…

What’s that? Elevated flight risks, you say? Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the fact that the MUPPETS ARE NOW FLYING AIRPLANES.

Okay, that’s not really what’s going on here; Elmo, Cookie Monster and Grover(!) made an appearance at LaGuardia Airport for promotional work instead of, I don’t know, flying stuff, but this still fulfills an alarmingly specific childhood fantasy of mine about an airline run entirely by the cast of Sesame Street. (I was a weird kid.)

Think about it: how can anything go wrong when Grover is flying your plane? Grover! The guy is a goddamn superhero.

Although, I can’t help shake the feeling that a TSA pat-down would only become even creepier when it’s administered by Snuffleupagus. Not that I have anything against letting someone sniff my crotch, but no way in hell am I letting an imaginary wooly mammoth anywhere near my little Feisty (via BestWeekEver).
