The voice of Elmo, Kevin Clash, whom Most of us have seen on screen and cherished since our childhood days, has resigned from his place amid sexual allegations of abusing underage boys.​
A lawsuit filed Tuesday in New York by 24-year-old college student Cecil Singleton accuses Clash of engaging in sexual behavior with him over a two-week period while he was underage. Singleton said they met on a gay chat line.
Amid the allegations, Clash Had this to say.​
"personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work Sesame Street is doing and I cannot allow it to go on any longer. I am deeply sorry to be leaving and am looking forward to resolving these personal matters privately."


In my personal Opinion? I say Bull. I watched the Guy's documentary, I met the guy when I was about 8 years old, and I say absolute crap. Maybe i'm being Bull headed, But I can't see the guy doing something like this. Heres to hoping the allegation is false, and an Iconic voice can emerge from this unscathed.

I saw an article about this on my phone, but it was a few days ago remarking about how one of the accusers recanted. It's disgusting that people do this for a payout instead of going to actual court to make real criminals face real justice. I don't know what state this is all happening in but I know that in some states there's no statute of limitations on child sex abuse (what is different between most states is the cutoff age where a statute of limitations comes into play).

They recently debunked this.
Despite this, he still resigned because of the negative attention it drew to Sesame Street. He did not want to poison the show by association, it's such a shame but in the circumstances I think he made the right decision even if he is completely innocent. I wish he could sue for defamation without continuing to draw negative attention to the Elmo brand :/

Here I was expecting an EoF thread with something like "Elmo's been around since 1972 so he's technically a pedo".

On a more serious note, is the guy gay? Idunno' if that'd be a hint one way or the other about whether the accuser's story adds up.
Yes, he is actually Homosexual. Claimed so after the divorce with his wife.

Has anyone here ever watched the Documentary? Its on netflix, its actually worth a look. I enjoyed it.

On one hand, I feel horrible for the guy if the allegations are false.

But if they're not (which it seems to be shaping up to be) I can't say I feel bad.

I just feel bad that Sesame Street has had its good name tarnished. It's a great institution and it shouldn't be subject to such flak.

    did you always have a ps4 you never updated

    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update

    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps3 really has no titles worth going online over nps is the only reason you'd want wifi
