Apple Lives on Sesame Street
“Lives on” might be a strong term, but there’s definitely some pop culture respect being paid in the latest Sesame short D is for Dance. I know I’ve raised my kids right when my four year old daughter calls me into the room and says, “Daddy! Big Bird has an iPod!”
This isn’t the first time Sesame Street has showed some integration with our fruit-flavored overlords. Last year the video podcast The Word on the Street debuted, featuring man on the street interviews with the new muppet Murray on a certain topic and classic Sesame Street clips that explore a similar theme. As a parent to two little ones, having The Word on the Street in my pocket has made me a hero on more than one occasion.
The Word on the Street has recently been replaced by “Happy Healthy Monsters” in the same Sesame Street podcast feed on iTunes. Parents can also find other Sesame Street moments floating around iTunes. The 1986 childhood classic Follow That Bird is available for rent or download, special episodes that touch on important subjects are available for free, and regular season episodes can be purchased in the Store.
If you’ve ever wondered where Sesame Street fits into last year’s popular ad campaign, Elmo is indeed a Mac. Parents rejoice!
Wiggers rejoice!
