Actually genius Sesame Street is Jim Henson's muppets. You should do some research so that you fully understand the awesomeness. Thanks.

I found this site by googling "Too much sesame street".... I'm soooo sick of it. they're going way overboard with the muppets. I don't like all the random experiments every time I go to google.com they're doing either. guess it's time to start checking out bing!

Sesame Street's characters were a production of Jim Henson and are very much "Muppets," although owned by Sesame Workshop now. :P

I'm pretty sure the Sesame Street characters are NOT Muppets (Jim Henson's Muppets, that is), but they are puppets! Here are the real Muppets: http://disney.go.com/dxd/in....

Can't wait for Jim Henson's birthday so we can see a series of the Muppets too! I'm digging the Sesame Street characters though. Where's the Count?? :)

I noticed that too, and don't think it was a coincidence either. I thought it was hilarious.

Of course Google likes Muppets. They have googly eyes.

Well now, who doesn't like the muppets? Miss Piggy is the woman every woman should be -- she takes no crap. Ask Kermit!

Right. I don't agree with the "stimulus-overload" comment, but everything else. They're like Bing but actually have a purpose.

Who doesn't like muppets? Remember this from FAO Schwartz? http://www.fao.com/whatnots.... You can make yourself a muppet now.

Aaawwww. You noticed!
How innocent and cute right? ...

I was telling someone a few days ago, that i got the idea it could because of the antitrust case against Google. When the Google Logo is seen everyday during search it becomes so present in our mind that if the department of justice did seek regulation on the basis of google's over charging products/service providers for sponsored search, because as middlemen they have huge access to potential customerhs Which gives the power to basically name their price, or "abuse" their monopoly position. So If there was a case, People would say yes. Google is omnipresent. We all know the power of public opinion, so i think maybe it's a way subtle the way to remove the google logo from our sight and keep a low profile. And of course make it more friendly.
Of course it's just a theory, but I don't think the idea is that ludicrous. I mean if i worked at google i would consider doing something like this.
And also, with google adwords there are so many middlemen, that the cost of comissions in directing the traffic ends up being paid by the consumer. So the cash of google charging more in the end comes from the consumer's pocket.

"and now the logo is sporting other two characters from the series."

This doesn't make sense. I would flip the words "other" and "two."

It used to be fun to see Google's changing logo. But lately it seems like too much of a good thing.

Sesame Street was only good back in the day. Now that I have a daughter of my own I was shocked to see how much it's changed for the worse. At least Google seems to be paying tribute to the original characters, mostly.
