‘Who Wants To Die’ Talking Elmo

Status: Either a prank or a manufacturing defect
image When Angela Bolls bought an interactive Elmo book for her young daughter, Miranda, she had no idea what she would be exposing her daughter to:

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?" ... 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.

So I guess some prankster with a dark sense of humor has been tampering with the potty-training books. That, or the books are satanically possessed. I actually don't think the mother should be complaining too much. That book could be worth a fortune on eBay.

Actually, it has nothing to do with the batteries and this is not a hoax! I am the "proud", if you will, owner of 2 of these tainted books. Still in the wrapping! They were all removed from the shelves and replaced with non defective ones. Some of mine years ago sold for 50-75 dollars, I plan on keeping mine and hope its one of the last one's remaining! Let me know what you all think!
