Ernie Is Cheap, Bert Cries Himself To Sleep

It looks like the Bert and Ernie household has finally hit rock bottom. Not only have they had to put Ernie out on the street, but it now looks like they have had to run a sale on him! While their financial troubles are understandable, and no doubt spurred by their recent quasi-AO rating, there has to be a better way for America's most beloved gay couple to make ends meet! Don't get me wrong, I definitely think Ernie is the cute one, but Bert didn't have to do this to him.

But alas, it seems they have no other option than to put Ernie on the cheap, laughing and giggling and rolling over on his back with his legs flailing above him, all while weeping deeply inside. Over at Amazon, they are hawking a Tickle-Me-Ernie for the discounted price of $21.99. Maybe you too can help out this beloved family?

When ask for a comment, Ernie just fell to the floor and giggled, although a large tear could be seen running down his cheek. Bert did not immediately return a message when asked for comment.
