Many of you have probably already seen this, but it’s worth another gander. Ralph Nader, a consumer advocate in your neighborhood, is the third person featured around 3:30 in the video.

Nader originally refused to appear on the pledge drive special unless a grammatical error in the song, “A person who you meet each day” was changed to “A person whom you meet each day”. Ironically, Sesame Street itself became a target for inspection before Nader would let the episode be distributed to young consumers nationwide.

  1. Heh. Nice. I think I was a bit old at the time to catch this one - living out my teenage years.

    On an indirectly related note, hope the campaign work is going well. A band I have really been into the last couple years is 65 Days of Static. When I start my 4:30am shift, this song kinda gets me going:

    Maybe something a couple folks working the streets/phones might want to check out.
