VIDEO : 'Sesame Street' Sues Makers Of Raunchy Puppet Film

The creators of ?Sesame Street? have filed a lawsuit against the distributor of an upcoming raunchy Hollywood film ?The Happytime Murders? to halt an advertising tagline that it claims falsely associates itself with the children?s television show. According to Reuters, an early trailer release for the film shows Muppet-like characters engaged in sex, coarse language, drugs and violence. Sesame Workshop alleges in the lawsuit, filed on Thursday in New York state court, that STX Productions has created confusion among the public into believing the film is connected to the show and infringed on the ?Sesame Street? trademark.?
