(AP) Villanova University seniors, who spent up to $112,000 on tuition in their four years, are underwhelmed by news the actor who plays Big Bird will be this year's commencement speaker. Caroll Spinney, who has portrayed the tall yellow-feathered bird for more than 30 years on Sesame Street, will address the class on May 16.
LOL! I guess Burt and Ernie were booked for the date. Seriously, after busting your balls for 4+ years to get a degree to be marketable in a field that you like, some clown with probably no degree is going to tell you that even he could succeed with a cheerful message in the real world?
