Proving nothing is sacred, one of the most heinous crimes ever (not really) has been perpetrated on our culture’s last bastion of pure innocence: “Sesame Street.”

Yesterday, unknown hackers swapped Muppet videos for clips of hardcore sexing on the long-running kids show’s YouTube page, and for 20 minutes, innocent minds the world over were corrupted. Google then restored everything to normalcy, but the hackers have yet to be identified. A message on Sesame Street’s page had two users claiming responsibility, but one of those implicated, MrEdxwx, said on his own page, “I did not hack Sesame Street. I am an honest YouTuber.”

All signs—mainly, just the sophistication of humor involved here—point to the perp being some high school kid—at once, both an idiot and awesome.
