The world’s most famous pair of legs on Google
Today, visitors to the site, lately one of the most sparse spots on the Web, are seeing possibly the world’s most famous pair of legs (and no, we’re not talking about Heidi Klum’s, which were just insured $2.2 million.) We mean Big Bird, of course!
The reason? Today marks the 40th anniversary of children’s TV show Sesame Street.
To celebrate, Sesame Street’s website has been running a contest, where visitors can vote for their favorite episodes from the the show’s impressive four-decade public television run.
We here at the Monitor have a soft spot for our furry friends from the Children’s Television Workshop. Our recent “Famous Grouches” gallery was headlined by none other than trash can-dwelling Oscar himself (and good friend Telly).
We have Google logos for the 20th birthday of Wallace & Gromit, and these other regional characters: Abigal, Boombah Chamki, Ieniemienie, Abelardo Montoya and Kami.
Here are the logos:
