philly.com:
mitt romney’s mention of the beloved muppet isn’t the first time big bird’s name has popped up in an argument over public broadcasting funding. but this time, the mention went viral on facebook and twitter.

the phrase “big bird” was appearing 17,000 times every minute on twitter. at midnight, cnn reported that mentions of big bird on facebook were up an astronomical 800,000%.

facebook later said big bird was the fourth most-mentioned topic on facebook during the debate, getting more attention than topics like jobs, taxes, jim lehrer and obamacare.
…
the trade journal radio and television report said that ed markey, the massachusetts democrat, had a few choice words in august for romney that mentioned the yellow icon.

“a ryan-romney ticket buys admission to a budget match-up where big oil wins and big bird loses,” markey said. “congressman ryan’s budgets protect $40 billion in subsidies for the most profitable oil companies on the planet but would put an end to elmo’s world.”

as for the producers of sesame street, they chose to mostly stay out of the debate controversy.

tmz reported that sesame street released a statement, including the one fact the candidates (and most of america) agree on: everyone loves big bird.

“sesame workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, educational organization. we do not comment on campaigns, but we’re happy we can all agree that everyone likes big bird.”

also on thursday, sesame workshop executive vice president sherrie westin told cnn that big bird isn’t going anywhere, since the workshop receives little pbs funding.

no soup jobs for you

campbell's soup to close plants, lay off 700+:

campbell soup co. has been trying hard this year to turn itself around, with new soup flavors, higher prices, health-conscious acquisitions and more.

but now the camden, n.j. company, stuck with sliding profits and sinking interest in soup, is taking a more difficult route: shutting down two factories due to "excess capacity."

the sacramento plant, which makes soups, sauces and beverages, will close in phases before shuttering for good in july, the company said. as campbell’s oldest american facility -- it was built in 1947 -- the factory has the highest production costs in the company’s network.

about 700 full-time employees will lose their jobs, according to campbell. production will be redistributed to plants in maxton, n.c.; napoleon, ohio; and paris, texas.

campbell is also closing the doors at its south plainfield, n.j., spice plant. the factory will go dark by march, and 27 employees will be affected. spice work will be consolidated at a larger facility in milwaukee.
mmm, mmm, good, mmm, mmm, good, campbells soup is mmm, mmm, unemmmployed.
