I just thought it was hysterical. The mom is all freaked out about it, but it's not really that bad. ;D

A Lithia family says a cuddly, programmable Elmo doll revealed its dark side yesterday after fresh batteries were installed.

Instead of singing songs or reciting the favorite color of its 2-year-old owner, James Bowman, the doll started making death threats, the family says.

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."

The Elmo Knows Your Name doll, which connects to a computer to learn certain phases and names, recently ran out of battery power, Bowman said.

About an hour after she put new ones in, "I noticed exactly what it was saying," Bowman said. "And my son was repeating exactly what it was saying."

Bowman said Elmo is James' favorite character. James even has Elmo slippers, but the malfunctioning, death-threat-spouting Elmo Knows Your Name doll is now being kept away from her son, Bowman said.

"This is his absolute favorite toy," she said. "So we've been going through a lot of hassle because he's trying to climb up the counter and up the closets to get it."

Fisher-Price, the toy company that manufactures the dolls, said it will issue the Bowmans a voucher for a replacement doll. The company said it will examine James' model for the source of the problem and check whether other Elmos are experiencing the same malfunction.

Here's the video of it. I mean, he says it clearly, but it's so not that bad.

wow, that is pretty freaky..I mean, if I heard it say, "Kill..and then my child's name"...I would be like, "OMG. :o". What was even more disturbing though was the fact that, awww...the poor boy, this was his favorite toy..what shall we do? YET...his livingroom was filled to the brim with myriads of other Elmo dolls...I'm sure that he will be able to cope SOMEHOW, during this very difficult time. ::)

This might spawn Child's Play 7: Evil Elmo.

...or a sequel to the Freddie movies called "A Nightmare on Elmo Street".  ;D

That reminds me....my sister had the Mother Goose with the tapes and stories, so I used to put all kind of different music in the bird to watch her sing with it. NKOTB coming out of Mother Goose? Yeah, that was funny to a nine year old.

OK, since we've gone off topic a bit, I'll tell you that a few years back I visited my mom and she was playing 8 track tapes in my 2XL toy.  I can't believe any of that stuff survived and the damn thing looked hilarious singing " Swearin' To God" by Frankie Valli.

They should have Emo Dolls, the cousin of Elmo.

They would be dressed in black and mope around the house,they would come with there own glasses and hair dyeand a small knife,when you pull the string,it would say " I cry black tears""I feel empty inside"
;D I hope I haven't offended any EMO'S out there
