Financial Scandal Hits Sesame Street; Accountants Never Learned Numbers Past Ten
The financial problems which have sent a shiver down the spine of Wall Street in recent weeks have finally struck closer to home, claiming the hit childrenâs television program Sesame Street.
Despite having over thirty years to practice, those in charge of Sesame Streetâs finances have never managed to be able to count past the number ten since the showâs debut in 1969.

Expenses for Big Birdâs early drug rehab after repeatedly claiming to see the "Invisible Snuffy" and WORM-TV, Oscar the Grouchâs perennial loss-making television station, are also among the issues regulators will be examining.
