You know technology has gone awry when your kid’s Elmo doll starts making death threats. If this was my kid’s evil-Elmo doll, I’d have it on eBay so fast it would make its head spin faster than the Exorcist.

With a squeeze of its fuzzy belly, the Sesame Street character now says, in a sing-song voice, "Kill James." "It's not something that really you would think would ever come out of a toy," said Melissa Bowman, James' mother. "But once I heard, I was just kind of distraught."

Judgement Day is coming! The machines are revolting!
 
LMAO! I might have to get me one of these dolls for a good laugh.
 
I couldn't even understand what the dang thing said until I read it. Can't you program what to say into this kind of Elmo through the computer? What if an older brother or cousin just played a prank and programmed it in there?
 
from what I gathered you can just program a name. It is suppose to be saying Hello James. But they are thinking it is saying Kill James. Instead of kill, i wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't more of a hill. I wasn't hearing any k sound but did somewhat hear the ill.

I find it funny how many elmo dolls people can find problems with. There is this one. There have been a few now that people insisted said the f word. One that said something that people misheard to be something violent. There is even a elmo book on potty training that due to a sound file glitch says "who wants to die."

That one actually kinda sounds like this dolls problem. In that case the book's sound files where compressed and it is suppose to say "Who wants to try to go potty?" But it gets cut off and the try is kinda slurred so it sounds more like die that try.
 
It's not so much a threat as more of an admonition.

Oh well, do as Elmo says.
 
Elmo knows James is the Anti-Christ and is trying to warn us.
 
Nice.. another toy that is not nice, hehe.

Do any of you remember the caterpillar that would say the sounds of the letters of the alphabet? It had a button for each letter. Well.. guess what happened when you pressed the f and the k in rapid succession... Yep, a perfectly clear f-bomb :)
 
you could see her its like she got that light in her eye being on tv... omg i'm going to get a bootload of money for this... fisher price's offer.. a voucher.. if you send the original back.. sounds like a standard return to me... buwahahhaaha :D
 
its sad that its 2008 and toys are still using those same metal disc "speakers" from the 70s. You can never understand what the hell sound those are making.
 
I remember a while a go there was a this baby play pen toy that mimicked the sounds of the ocean. But, in the sounds of waves crashing was some saying "I hate you". Talk about subliminal messaging.

They must have fix that (or broke it depending on the age of the toy). My kids have had one for a couple years now and if you push f and then k it'll start to giggle rather than make the final sound. It also does it for F and U, A and S, and others I'm not remembering.

As far as Elmo dolls go, they can all DIIF. I refuse to get my kids one.
 
Didnt TechTV reprogram a Billy Bass YEARS ago to say all sorts of good things?
A couple of bucks worth of parts and I'll make Elmo's head spin round and round while screaming REDRUM.
 
Somehow I was expecting Elmo to walk over to the other toys and start to strangle them with their own pullcords.

Groening has forever corrupted my fragile little mind.
 
Maybe it's just the power of suggestion, but i am very clearly hearing, "kill james."

The Elmo voice definitely makes it that much creepier.
 
you think it was the little boys older brother who hacked the elmo doll??? you never know.....

You guys didn't know each ELMO unit has a self-learning CPU with a basic knowledge of human psychology?
 
I love the fact that the little infant just crawled around repeating it. I wonder if said it before he said mama or dada.
