Sesame Street's word of the day is, OK. As in, Video Games are OK!

The Joan Ganz Clooney Center at Sesame Workshop, which apparently is a "foster innovation in children's learning through digital media" so this endorsement shouldn't surprise you, reports that video games for kids are OK!

“Despite their reputation as promoters of violence and mayhem, digital games have in fact been shown to help children gain content and vital foundational and 21st century skills,”

You hear that Hillary Clinton and Jack Thompson? Sesame Street says they're good! I wonder how they feel about Manhunt? The report continues.

“Now we need to invest time and resources to turn this promise into a real “game changer” for America’s children.”

America's children, I can't think of a nobler cause. Come on children, let's all gather around and bask in the TVs warm glowing warming glow.
