Sesame Street's Elmo Cannot Contain His Murderous Rage

the deal with adorable Sesame Street muppet Elmo and his unslakable lust for blood? A few years back, as the video above shows, a family in Dallas realized that the talking book Potty Time with Elmo featured the monster's angelic voice asking "Who wants to die?" Now, a Tampa-area two-year-old is being terrorized by a talking Elmo doll who repeats the phrase "Kill James" over and over. Toymaker Fisher-Price has offered young James and his family a replacement for the "malfunctioning, death-threat-spouting Elmo Knows Your Name doll," but the damage may have already been done: some experts are calling the incident the most embarrassing talking-toy mishap since 1999, when a number of "Talk to Me Ernie" dolls were found to say, "You want a piece of this, cocksucker? Come on! I'll fuck you up so bad you'll have to shit through a bag!"
