Now that he's up again, you might dig up the wonderful animal parody of Ellroy's LA quartet, "Sesame Street Tabloid". It's at

Here's the introduction:

"Sesame Street Tabloid

Muppets go noir

Whether it's Tickle Me Elmo fuck books or the Bert is Evil web page, the dark side of Jim Henson's furry offspring seems to have a permanent lock on the public imagination. This story, channeling the spirit of a currently hot noir novelist, pulls back the curtain to reveal the Children's Television Workshop's corrupt, cynical heart. It's also the first of what simpleton hopes will be many works by outside contributors, so let's dive right into: Sesame Street Tabloid."
