...What does it take to get a person on the street to tell a cute hand puppet to ____ off? This and other imponderables were answered by this twisted kids'-show parody, inexplicably relegated to MTV's satellite channel, orbiting the frozen outer reaches of digital cable. From man-on-the-street interviews by an obnoxious puppet to an adorable child asking a butcher, "Who's going to pay for these steaks... I mean, spiritually?" this show is a hilarious, disturbing trip far away from Elmo's World...

Most recently, Vogel visualized anthropomorphic puppets and decided to center an entire play on this concept, “The Long Christmas Ride Home.” “I saw the puppet body literally come to life,” Vogel said.

Unlike its predecessor, this one speaks understandable English, too-speaks, in fact, of many things: Its likes (world domination) and dislikes (when you press Shift1, Shift2, Shift3...
...Vagina puppet in hand, Kim Airs, owner of the sexuality boutique “The Grand Opening,” caused more than the usual stimulation at last week’s Female Orgasm Seminar, hosted by the Radcliffe Union of Students. Digressing from the usual advice about the female orgasm, Airs warned students against LifeStyles brand condoms, claiming that they hardly met federal safety regulations. The purpose of the seminar was, ostensibly, to educate interested students about sexuality. Instead, it turned into an opportunity for Airs to provide arbitrary and misinformed judgment about an effective condom brand that...
