Harvey Weinstein to Pimp Miss Piggy



Sweaty, sausage-fingered barbarian Harvey Weinstein (Eew), whose oily yet adamantine grip on American culture runs the gamut from greenlighting My Left Foot, to, in his present multimedia incarnation, a home video distribution deal with Sesame Street. Mama says wha-a-t?! Next thing you know, Janice from "Pigs in Space" will be his Muse ("Three pictuyre deal ..") -- like Gwyneth -- then, just as suddenly, tossed aside, with great force. Fucking Kermit the Frog's "Newsflash" will have to endure Harvey, tossing the hard stories on the cutting room floor with those creepy, moist Vienna sausages he calls fingers (Exaggerated cough suggesting feigned deatchment). Goddam. According to the NYPost:

"HARVEY Weinstein is about to become neighbors with Big Bird and Elmo.

"Genius Products, the home-video distribution unit controlled by The Weinstein Company, is expected to announce this week a deal to become the exclusive North American distributor for Sesame Workshop.
The deal is particularly important to Weinstein because of his close relationship with Sesame Workshop founder Joan Ganz Cooney. How important? His Harvey-ness was said to be personally involved in the negotiations.

"Harvey went so far as to quip to Cooney that he would dress up in a Big Bird suit if he needed to do so to close the deal, a source said.

"Under the deal's terms, Genius gets the rights to Sesame Workshop's 100-title library, which includes children's favorites 'Sesame Street,' 'Sesame Beginnings' and 'Elmo's World,' as well as 'Pinky Dinky Doo,' which premiered in April 2006."

Fucking Harvey Weinstein bullying Fozzy Bear, who already has self-esteem issues regarding his material, into bitch tears. This cannot augur well.
