UN Sanctifies an HIV Puppet
EFL & Sh*tâs and Giggles.
An HIV-positive Muppet starring in the South African version of "Sesame Street" has received an official appointment from the United Nations as a "global champion for children." The U.N. Childrenâs Fund, or UNICEF, says the furry puppet "has brought levity and compassion to a topic that so often evokes the opposite," according to the Associated Press. Kami, representing a 5-year-old orphan girl on the TV program "Takalani Sesame," will help advance UNICEFâs aim of ending the stigma for HIV/AIDS sufferers.
Itâs too easy. Puppets, the UN, âweapons inspectorsâ.... So easy my head is spinning.
