The Sesame Street Daily News publishes an online news story in which Oscar the Grouch gripes about Cookie Monster, saying, "He is a big, blue, furry cannibal who has serious mental problems. I've seen him eat other muppets. Have you seen Telly Monster recently?"
In Imagination County, where Sesame Street is located, cannibalism is a second-degree felony crime.
-If Oscar the Grouch was an officer for the Sesame Street Police Department, and the quote came from a sworn affidavit filed to get an arrest warrant for Cookie Monster, the website would likely win in a libel suit by Cookie Monster because the statement is privileged.
