Ok this is for all of you out there with little children who love Elmo. I found this funny myself, but then again I don't have kids and if I did, I would be concerned. You can actually hear him say it.

Looks to me that the pressure of stardom has finally made Elmo snap. Luckily this model doesn't have kun fu grip! I feel bad for the kid though, it's his favorite the company should have sent him a new one, or at least repaired his.

I agree. The fact that FP is unwilling to even comment or take it seriously is disturbing. They are one of the top toy makers in the world. They supposedly pride themselves on their high standards and the "educational" quality of their toys. What does this situation say about how they really feel?

For me it means I'll be thinking more closely about who's toys I buy in the future.

I am the anti ELMO.  I don't get it.  If the stupid doll hooks up to the computer to learn certain words a phrases, why not just hook it up to the computer and reprogram it to say play with matches James, or something like that.

That was just too disturbing. LOL! I cannot believe that the toy company does not want to fix it. How awful is that? Poor Baby's toy wants to off him.  Angry

That is disgusting.  They should be refunded or at least offered a replacement toy.  What ever happened to product pride?
