I wonder how much it cost to liscense Count Count.

Nothing, I believe. Sesame Workshop is asking the Obama campaign to take Big Bird out of their ads, so I'm guessing the campaigns are using these likeness under the fair use doctrine.

Yes, the GOP that wants to cut funding going to Sesame Workshop, is going to approach them to use a character to support a campaign to cut their funding.  And of course, Sesame Workship is going to be more than happy to do that.

I don't see what that would have to do with it.

Either way, if they did let Obama use Big Bird.  They'd have to let the GOP use the count as well, despite funding cuts.

Otherwise they'd be providing a big reason why PBS should be cut.

It's very troublesome when a government organization decides to favor one politcal group over another.  That's the big problem with the BBC as of late.
