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.

"Ever accidentally put one of the program tapes into a cassette deck?
QUITE memorable if you did."

Was it like playing a CD-ROM on a CD player?

He doesn't have any neuticles to worry about getting blasted in ala One Pac.

au contraire.

I heard that each one gets two test tickles before he goes out the door. ;^)

LOL!

Ouch!

The Coleco Adam also had a cassette drive; I have an uncle who bought one in the early 80s.

[Darksheare]

I still have, laying around somewhere, the tape drives from the C64.

Still works too.

Are you sure?

[Darksheare]

*Checking "My fault" list*

Positive.

[bluefish]

Holy moly. You need an extra strength chill pill!

Do you try to fire it up from time to time?

A friend of mine still has his Atari 1040 and he swears that it still boots and functions perfectly.

[Darksheare]

It works, but the floppy disks are likely slimed due to age.

Must be a glitch. The actual quote is probably "Who wants to dye eggs?"

[EsmeraldaA]

Hmmmmmm...

Pretty much sounds like 'your thing'.

[bannie]

At least Elmo didnt say "Hillary Clinton Is Our Overlord"

THAT message is subliminal. This is just a decoy message.

[My2Cents]

ROFL

[Darksheare]

I know, but Elmo isn't telling the kids "ia Cthulu fthagn ghetn!", so it isn't my fault.

THAT message is subliminal. This is just a decoy message.

That being the case....Elmo must die
