Un-PC Puppets

This is Lucy the Slut from Avenue Q. I was looking for a picture that accompanied the characters singing You Can Be As Loud As The Hell You Want When You're Making Love but being one of the high points of the musical, I guess they won't have spoilers of that online.

The point I'm trying to make, which I got from a friend's twitter, is that the original episodes of Sesame Street we grew up with are now classified as For Adults. I don't know what aspects specifically they find offensive.

But I do know that one time in the early nineties - years after I stopped watching religiously - I saw a clip of Muppets singing something along the line of "some boys like dolls and some girls like trucks".
