"Sesame Steet" appears to be trading in the alphabet for the adult set.
On the heels of PBS' announcement that it would be pulling Katy Perry's cleavage-heavy "Hot N Cold" duet with Elmo from the 41st season, the series has released another adult oriented clip.
In "True Mud," the show riffs off "True Blood," HBO's hyper sexual vampire series starring Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.
After opening with a song virtually identical to the opening track of the HBO show, an orange muppet with a coif like Bill Compton's enters a diner and asks a Sookie-stye waitress with blond hair for some True Mud.
"He must be one of them grouches! Grouches love mud!" some nearby patrons cry, imitating the townsfolk in "True Blood's" first season who gasped at Bill Compton's arrival in an otherwise human bar.
Muppet Sookie brings out some True Spud, by accident, and gives the young viewers a little rhyming lesson.
In the end, the customer jumps into a giant bath of mud.
The parody comes the same day that "Sesame Street" producers opted not to air a segment in its 41st season that features Katy Perry singing a duet with Elmo while dressed in a low-cut yellow-green heart-shaped dress, a sheer piece of material covering her ample cleavage.
"In light of the feedback we've received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on You Tube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street, which is aimed at preschoolers," the show's producers said in a statement. "Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on You Tube."
In the video, which earned over 1 million views on YouTube Monday, Perry is seen bouncing after Elmo while singing a version of "Hot N Cold" that focuses on the puppet waffling over their play date instead of an up-and-down relationship.
"You can practically see her t---," one person commented, according to the website. "That's some wonderful children's programming."
