Yes, Google loves Sesame Street. And the feeling is very mutual

As anyone who's Googled anything over the past week knows, Google hearts Sesame Street. Well, apparently Sesame Street hearts Google, too. In this Sesame Street segment, Kermit the Frog is attending "the musical event of the century," a tribute to the "oogle family"—i.e., words that rhyme with "oogle," like "bugle" and, I dunno, "Google" as well. The three-minute segment does little more than repeat iterations of the oogle rhyme over and over, so it's hard to see the educational component here. For those who haven't been on Google for a while, the company last week dressed up its logo with Big Bird, the Cookie Monster and others to celebrate the show's 40th anniversary. Google has been playing with its logo more and more lately, including nods to Charles Darwin's birthday and the fall of the Berlin Wall, among other things. Tangentially, College Humor recently imagined the Google logo designer using it as a platform to talk about his failing marriage.
