Toddler's Talking Elmo Book Asks 'Who Wants To Die?'
 

News Edition: 01/02/2006

TEXASS-- A mother in Dallas is one of several parents complaining about a new interactive book for toddlers in which Sesame Street character Elmo asks "who wants to die?" according to a Local 6 News report.
Family members said 16-month-old Miranda Boll's new book, "Potty Time With Elmo," was supposed to teach an interactive lesson using voice commands.

However, when the book's buttons are pressed, it reportedly says something it is not supposed to -- "who wants to die?"

"It's a sick joke," mother Angela Bolls said. "If it's a joke then it's a bad one, you know? And it's not necessary. It's inappropriate."

Bolls said she checked another copy of the same book and found that it says something completely different; "Who wants to try to go potty?"

The company that makes the book said it has had several complaints concerning the book, according to the report.

Reminds me of when they had that talking Barbie that said, "Math is tough!" Who keeps hiring these morons to program their kiddie toys?

I like the Talking My Little Pony that says "Lets put raisins in our pee pee hole!"

I always knew that little red fucker was up to no good! :mad:

:winkwink: :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The thing is you get these computer guys working on a lame thing for months. They get bored one night, have some fun, and forget to take it out of the program. Come on, put yourself in the computer guys shoes. If you could make him say anything, you'd have had some fun with that fucker too.

Elmo's talking dirty now.
