Yahoo!news rejects comment poking fun at new Asian muppet character: Yahoo published an Associated Press article entitled "‘Sesame Street’ Debuts Ji-Young, First Asian American Muppet." The article states that the show introduced the new character because it wanted to "'meet the moment'" and "[w]hat developed was Coming Together, a multi-year initiative addressing how to talk to children about race, ethnicity and culture." The user commented on the article saying "[s]olving America's problems one puppet at a time, love it." Yahoo rejected the comment and it is unclear why.
