"Toddler's Talking Elmo Book Asks 'Who Wants To Die?'"

A mother in Dallas is one of several parents complaining about a new interactive book for toddlers in which Sesame Street character Elmo asks "who wants to die?" according to a Local 6 News report.

Family members said 16-month-old Miranda Boll's new book, "Potty Time With Elmo," was supposed to teach an interactive lesson using voice commands.



However, when the book's buttons are pressed, it reportedly says something it is not supposed to -- "who wants to die?"

"It's a sick joke," mother Angela Bolls said. "If it's a joke then it's a bad one, you know? And it's not necessary. It's inappropriate."

Bolls said she checked another copy of the same book and found that it says something completely different; "Who wants to try to go potty?"

The company that makes the book said it has had several complaints concerning the book, according to the report.

Is this recordable? Opps I guess not... Well you got to remember I was talking to a buddy of mine when John Stwert or whoever went on seasame sets the actual vioce actors and puppeters would joke about this kind of stuff with the puppets and all after they record the stuff for kids. They where probubly making a joke with it when making these books and it slipped into the books. Crazy It's not far fetched.

She's wrong because I laughed. If Borders had this book I think I might go and get it.

I remember years back Mattel had to recall a crapload of talking Barbies because they said "math is hard".

I never saw the problem with that. Math IS hard. And if you're good at it, they reward you by throwing HARDER math at you.

It'll be cool when the mother and child die mysteriously and we get a real life version of The Ring.
