Sesame Street YouTube channel hacked, serves porn

For 22 minutes, kids around the world were greeted with a surprise when they went to the Sesame Street YouTube channel, and it wasn’t the kind of surprise that Elmo would have approved. Hackers took over the account on Sunday, deleted all of the videos uploaded by Sesame Street, and uploaded porn.

His channel has been hit with hundreds of comments ranging from admiration to death threats. Here’s the quick video he posted in response:
