You talk about a controversy?!

There is a great debate raging on the internet right now as to whether or not "Grover," the beloved muppet on Sesame Street dropped the "F" bomb on the show.

Look, I know the show is on HBO now, but c'mon! <g>

Apparently, your opinion depends a lot on how you are listening to the clip.

If you hold your phone/mobile device away from your ear...he's DEFINITELY cussing.  However, if you hold it away from you and listen...not so much.

"Sesame Street's" response is, "It's Grover...and Sesame Street...do you REALLY think..."

Look, I've tried both ways...and let's just say if Grover had my mom, he'd be finding out the taste of Dial soap real quick!
