Feb 19 2008New Elmo Toy Is Amazingly Amazing, Scary
The Elmo Live toy due out this fall made an appearance at the 2008 Toy Fair and let me tell you -- the little red bastard keeps getting scarier and scarier. He can sit, stand, sing, dance, tell stories and jokes, and all around freak you out. I don't care what Mattel says, there's a little person in that costume. And that, my friends, is freaking wrong.
Elmo Live breaks it down on video, seems too smart for his own good [engadget]

Hmmm. Elmo + Gangsta + iPod + Mother Goose + a lot of liquor = this freakish Elmo (read: little person in red suit).
I don't know who's crazier: Elmo, or the dude in the white coat presenting him.

Who the f*** is that guy in the white coat?
Now if only they'd make Barbie this real...

I had a tickle me elmo doll before, and it told me to kill all my coworkers. I wasn't sure about listening to voices from a doll, but my coworkers were useless anyway, so I killed them. Can't to find out what this one tells me to do.

"Ahaha. I'm Elmo. I'm going to kill you in your sleep"
What was that Elmo?
"I love you. Ahaha"

This thing is exactly like those stupid furby dolls. Maybe it has an up side. It's an alternative to small children for paedophiles. "Tickle you elmo? Why certainly."

Now if you reprogram it to say "Clean your room you little shit." I bet it'd be a great alternative to a baby sitter.

I'd be best if it asked awkward questions like, "Why do you keep touching me?" or "Have you heard of dianetics?" Creepy...

Wow impressive..looks how far robotic technologies came along .. i wouldn't be surprise to see one of those walking and live interacted teddy bear in the near future like in that movie A.I, this is very great for young kids, but it's a little creepy consider that thing can move almost like a hand puppet...

It's the BIG hand motions that are scary.
If he goose stepped and and threw his right hand in the air a little bit forward and had a brown shirt and a little kaiser moustache - we'd have to PUT HIM DOWN.
Squeaky voice or not - we're not putting up with THAT ever again.
BIG hand motions - that was the scary part of the Village People singing about their local fitness center.
