Romney vs. Big Bird: Internet Defends Scorned Muppet
While Mitt Romney may have won the debate with President Obama last night, he has certainly lost the support and probably the vote of all Big Bird fans who took to twitter to let the GOP candidate know that he should not mess with Big Bird after he confirmed that he "likes big bird," but would cut subsidies for PBS.
The zing had amateur Photoshoppers working in overdrive to defend the beloved Sesame Street character.
The comment also generated 17,000 tweets per minute for "Big Bird" and 10,000 tweets per minute for "PBS," according to @gov. Within minutes, parody Twitter accounts began popping up, including @FiredBigBird and @BigBirdRomney.
