Brought to You By The Letter XXX: Sesame Street Site Filled With Porn By Hackers
Children visiting the Sesame Street Youtube page on Sunday were greeted by some pornographic images. Hackers took control of the site and replaced all the Sesame Street content with porno.
CNN reports that the webpage was taken down Sunday afternoon and that the porno was visible on the site for about 20 minutes.
Sesame Street issued an apology, saying:
“Our channel was compromised and we are presently working with YouTube/Google to restore our original content. We always strive to provide age-appropriate content for our viewers and hope to resolve this problem quickly.”
According to Gawker, the hackers replaced the main Youtube Video with a 7-minute clip from the skin flick First Anal Quest: Angelica. (You can see a screenshot here. NSFW.)
Sesame Street’s Youtube Channel description was also changed to a message from MREDXWX and MRSUICIDER91. The message read:
“WHO DOESN’T LOVE PORN KIDS? RIGHT! EVERYONE LOVES IT! IM MREDXWX AND MY PARTNER MRSUICIDER91 ARE HERE TO BRING YOU MANY NICE CONTENT! PLEASE DON’T LET SESAME STREET TO GET THIS ACCOUNT BACK KIDS ? PLEASE…LET ME AND MRSUICIDER91 HAVE IT AND WE GONNA MAKE ALL THE AMERICA HAPPY!”
Mr. EDXWX quickly posted a note saying that he was not responsible for the hacking.
“I did not hack Sesame Street. I am an honest YouTuber. I work hard to make quality gameplay videos, and most important I respect the community guidelines.”
The Sesame Street muppets keep getting themselves into adult situations. Last week, several muppets were spotted at the Occupy Sesame Street protests.
Should Google try to find out who is responsible for the hack? Should the hackers face criminal charges?
