Elmo doll makes death threats

Can you imagine putting new batteries in an Elmo doll that is supposed to sing and laugh

>The Elmo Knows Your Name doll, which connects to a computer to learn certain phases and names, recently ran out of battery power, Bowman said.

About an hour after she put new ones in, "I noticed exactly what it was saying," Bowman said. "And my son was repeating exactly what it was saying."

Bowman said Elmo is James' favorite character. James even has Elmo slippers, but the malfunctioning, death-threat-spouting Elmo Knows Your Name doll is now being kept away from her son, Bowman said. <

I can't imagine any parent programming a doll to say that, but I remember the teletubbies that were not very nice that farted and belched, and said nasyt things,

But I can imagine that someone who programmed the doll at the factory might have thought it funny to do something like this.

Fisher price will replace the doll.....I can imagine the child is not humored that he can't have his doll, and the parents are not humored that the doll is saying not nice things.

What would you do if you ever put new batteries in a 'cute' toy that started saying nasty stuff?
