Sesame Street asks Obama to take down ad

The Sesame Street people have asked the Obama campaign to take down an ad featuring Big Bird.

"Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns," said the organization in a statement. "We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down."

The Obama campaign, which is only running the ad on cable outlets, said it would take the request under advisement.

The ad in question mocks Romney's pledge to cut the Public Broadcasting Service - even though he likes Sesame Street's Big Bird character - by comparing the childhood icon to corporate malefactors.
