Murdering, [redacted]-crazed, substance-abusing puppets have not pleased the creators of Sesame Street, who have filed a lawsuit against STX Entertainment over how the latter is promoting The Happytime Murders. The summertime comedy stars Melissa McCarthy and a cast of raunchy, [redacted]-hungry, violent puppets. At issue: The marketing line “No sesame. All street.”

Blame the housing market: “When the housing bubble burst, older generations of home owners were hit hard, but as real estate regains value post-Great Recession, they’ve been able to make up for some of those losses. But many of these ’80s kids went into the recession, and its aftermath up to 2016, without owning homes. Their debt instead comes in the form of student loans, auto loans, and credit card debt, all assets that have not ‘appreciated rapidly during the last few years—such as stocks and real estate,’ the Fed explains.” By contrast, the 1980s onward have largely been decades of wealth formation for Egypt’s upper middle class, and with our national mania for investing in real estate…
