Happy Birthday Sesame Street

OK, so I am a day late.  I wrote a very favorable post about the TV show recently.  If you want to get a feel for how much of a difference it can make, I highly recommend the clip “I wanna be mania” at Alam Simsim, the Egyptian version of Sesame Street.  I have shown it to lots of people.  The typical reaction before people see it is “yeah, right.”  The typical reaction after seeing it is “wow.”
