"threaten me" elmo

sounding a little more like "talking tina." or is this some evil plot by a certain pink bunny if energizer batteries aren't used.

...melissa bowman said her son received his elmo knows my name doll, a $40, 12-inch effigy of the high-pitched sesame street muppet, for christmas.

the doll comes with a dvd and a usb cable, so parents can program in their child's name, friends' names, favorite foods and colors.

elmo asks questions, sings songs and expresses opinions, all personalized with the child's vital statistics.

relations between james and elmo were cordial, the family says, until elmo's batteries ran down.

bowman replaced the batteries. and just like that, elmo's nature changed, she said.

bowman didn't realize there was anything wrong with the toy until she heard james chirping "kill me! kill me!"

that was when she noticed elmo now says something that sounds a lot like "kill james" - and nothing else. - tampabay.com/st. petersburgh times





perhaps there is a writing future for little james, as it seems that a woman who received a "math is hard barbie" is now writing for the washington post.
