That reminds me of the crib toy a couple of years ago that said, "I hate you". Story reported on prison planet, in that case the parents thought it was kind of funny. But besides that, interactive potty books, how pathetic, or how hilarious in the first place!!! <p></p><i></i>

I can so see Elmo kicking open the door of sleazy bar packed with Hell's Angels: "Who wants to die!?!" <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>-Sepka the Space Weasel <p></p><i></i>

This just proves my theory that Elmo is the anti-christ. <p></p><i></i>

what a dreadful thing, even when it's saying what it's suposed to. They're really making sure the kids are alienated from the parents as early as possible I see. The kid can't respond to it's parent saying "let's go" but the kid will to a weird blue box saying it? This is stupid beyond belief. Any parent that would buy and use this needs to do some serious thinking. <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.local6.com/news/5784303/detail.html">here</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->.<br>It is kinda creepy.<br>Reminds me of the Barbies that had their voice recordings switched with G.I. Joe one year so Joe would say, in a high-pitched voice, "Wanna go shopping?" and Barbie would say, "Dead men tell no lies."<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
