Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie are just puppets who are friends and bed mates. But after 31 years of speculation, evidence suggests that Bert may be G-A-Y. Many have interpreted Bert’s use of the word “mo” in a recent tweet as a subtle nod to the homosexual community. But while Katy Perry’s cleavage is off-limits for the show, is an openly gay character? Some say the show is just gay friendly now, citing another segment in which Grover asks what marriage is. The makers of Sesame Street, however, said they are trying to appeal to everyone, not just gay viewers.

Animated U.S. television show "Family Guy" has spoofed Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin by lampooning him as a macho spymaster who entraps enemy spooks and lights cigarettes with a Kalashnikov rifle.
The subversive award-winning show, which has featured bestiality, incest and stars Brian the talking dog, centers around one-year-old Stewie who speaks in an upper class English accent and abhors his middle class American parents.
The third episode of its eighth season, "Spies Reminiscent of Us" premiered on October 11 on U.S. television channel Fox, and features Stewie and Brian on an adventure in Russia.
Putin horrifies the duo, along with Hollywood actors Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd, whose animated characters are voiced by the real-life stars.

Seth MacFarlane was interviewed for Playboy earlier this month, and during that interview he confirms that Stewie Griffin is gay.
'"We had an episode that went all the way to the script phase in which Stewie does come out,” said MacFarlane. As he explains, "It had to do with the harassment he took from other kids at school. He ends up going back in time to prevent a passage in Leviticus from being written: 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind. It is an abomination.' But we decided it’s better to keep it vague, which makes more sense because he’s a 1-year-old."
Predicts MacFarlane, "Ultimately, Stewie will be gay or a very unhappy repressed heterosexual. It also explains why he’s so hellbent on killing [his mother, Lois] and taking over the world: He has a lot of aggression, which comes from confusion and uncertainty about his orientation."'Seth MacFarlane was interviewed for Playboy earlier this month, and during that... more
