Seeing as we have been following a bit of a Jim Henson theme recently (Mahna Mahna and Phenomenon, and Sesame Street – Country Road Credit Sequence) this seemed heaven-sent.
German Police are seeking a repeat-offender speeding Muppet motorist. Apparently it is not enough that the Police have a clear picture of the speeding vehicle, they need to be able to identify the driver as well. A German police source said: “The number plate is not enough. We need clear evidence of who is driving the vehicle too.”
It is hard enough for the German’s to get a photo of a driver of a right-hand drive British car. When a Muppet is put up against the windscreen were a driver would normally be in a German left-hand drive car it becomes next to impossible.
Apparently the German Police are unsure as to the identity of the “puppet”, Animal the manic drummer for The Electric Mayhem [^] on The Muppets. Animal is not the only speeding Muppet driver of this vehicle, Grover and Ernie have also been seen.
