Mad Muppet Menacing Tourists in NYC's Times Square

Mad Muppet Menacing Tourists in NYC's Times Square

(Oct. 25) -- An angry, jaded man posing as a lovable Sesame Street character is stalking New York's Times Square, hassling tourists for money and even cursing at passers-by when he doesn't get his Evil Elmo way.

The New York Daily News reports that the Elmo impostor, who refuses to reveal his real identity, is a menace to the popular tourist destination.

The mad Muppet won't allow his picture to be taken unless money is exchanged, and has been angrily slapping away tourists' cameras when they don't comply. "Five dollars! Five dollars!" the creature shouts, according to the Daily News. "No five dollars, no picture of Elmo."

But the man inside the costume says he's just trying to make a living. "I'm not being rude. Taking an Elmo picture without paying is rude," he told the paper.

Disturbed tourists don't seem to see it that way.

"I'm just disgusted. ... That furry red thing was too aggressive. I think it swore at me," Amanda Kelly-Knox, 36, told the Daily News.

The so-called "Evil Elmo" in Times Square is not to be confused with "Elmo Knows Your Name." the rogue toy manufactured by Fisher-Price that terrorized a Florida toddler with death threats more than two years ago. In 2008, the talking doll told its 2-year-old owner that it would "kill James" and "cut anyone who crossed [him] end-to-end with a Bowie knife."

I think it's about time those muppets decided to fight back, they've been
exploited by jim henson for decades and now that henson is dead people
expect them to keep entertaining us for free, they just want to be normal
