Toddler's Talking Elmo Book Asks 'Who Wants To Die?'
Company Receives Several Complaints

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.

hehe, this is funny.

okay, first the Mermaid doll now Elmo?!

when are these companies going to learn, don't make the buttons where they can be pushed to cut of a phrase.........

there has to be some type of thing they can do where it will finish the phrase before starting another.

my friend used to have a teletubby that said something stupid, but I can't remember what.........

... :eek:

The mermaid one was stupid, it was just all static. But you can actually hear Elmo say the phrase here. :eek:

I'm a fruit?

I'm a fruit?

no, it was the red one........I think it said "fuck off" or something, whatever it was it took her an hour and a half to get it to say it again and by that time I really didn't care anymore.

Elmo rawks.

I'm suprised no one has noticed this yet:

Elmo.

Remove that "l".

Elmo=Emo.

That's right, Elmo is a "depressive"(Note most emos are not actually depressed), "non-conformist"(Note-there are very conformist), attention whore who cuts his wrists.

Mwhahahahhahahaha. Another reason to hate elmo.

lol, I like you.

He's not the only one.

Wasn't it "Hi! Do you know how to fix a prolapse?"

Reminds me of my old posessed Tickle-me-Elmo routine :D

Reminds me of my old posessed Tickle-me-Elmo routine :D

What was that routine?

Wasn't it "Hi! Do you know how to fix a prolapse?"

I just looked up prolapse, and ewwww!

Reminds me of my old posessed Tickle-me-Elmo routine :D

Reminds me of a Tickle me elmo doll found during a Call of Cuthulu game... :D

What was that routine?Doesn't come across well typed. The whole humor was that Elmo's voice changes from high pitched to a deep demonic growl.

What was that routine?

You know, the one they had in that Scary Movie sequel.


*nods*

I always knew Elmo was evil and will take over the world one day. I was right!

*puts on tinfoil hat and sits in corner in fetal position whimpering*

Awesomely enough, Elmo was on The Daily Show tonight.

Man I really wish I could buy some of these toys, then once they're recalled I would sell mine on EBay for big bucks, plus I would keep some for comedic value.

hehe, this is funny.

I listened to this and it sounds more like it's saying "who HAS to die?" rather than "who WANTS to die".

Reminds me of the old two test tickles joke.

Sound quality is horrible. All I get out of it is "Ha ha who wants to..?".

What the?! Grover? I thought he was a Muppet.

...

A Kermit-the-Frog associated muppet is what I mean.

There probably is, but how much regression testing can a company be expected to put a doll through? They're not building Space Shuttles.

I am so tempted to start collecting stuff like this.
I still have the nice manual from the game Caesar III in which the glossary contains the wonderful sentence "what the hell is this shit". Yes, typeslaves can get bored ;)

He's clearly saying "who wets the bed?" - not that that's a very appropriate thing to say either.

Also, I'm fed up every year of stupid mother not being able to listen to toys and thinking that there is some huge conspiracy for the multinational toy companies to say rude things to their children.

Me wants.

Sound quality is horrible. All I get out of it is "Ha ha who wants to..?".

Don't belame sound quality- Elmo is obviously saying Die.


Besides, just look at him! I always knew that that hideous evil thing would express its true feelings towards small children some day.

You should listen to it again.

In a totally unrelated side note, where have all the signatures gone. I see none. Is that just me, or have you all misplaced yours as well?

as i recall, you can disable seeing them in your account. that'd explain why i only see them when i'm not logged in

Well all of Sesame Street is clearly a Satanic plot to trick children into siding with the monsters of hell at the day of the apocalypse. They even call themselves "monsters" for all to hear. Elmo is none other than Baby Satan.
