Viewer Gender Confusion/Puppet Shows

Examples of in  include:


 * Big Bird from Sesame Street is a boy?
 * This may be because of his original voice actor's Gender Blender Name. Yes, Carroll Spinney is male.
 * The Dutch version of Sesame Street features a blue Big Bird called Pino, who started out being played by a man. When he retired a woman got the role, there was actually some debate among the creators about whether they should make the bird a pink girl and rename her Pina. In the end they chose gender confusion over gender bending.
 * The German version once got a snail called "Fienchen". Fienchen started out being male, but due to his "cute" name and high pitched voice, he caused so much gender confusion, they actually changed him into a girl.
 * That's the one case where gender confusion would be appropriate. Snails are hermaphrodites.
