See! I told you!
For Christmas we ended up with three talking singing Care Bears. If you get more than one of them together, they talk and sing to each other. So far, it is only a little annoying because they know exactly three songs and they sing them over and over and over. I made mention that if I heard Ada talking back to them, or if I ever walk into a room and they stop talking and turn to look at me, they are being packed into the attic. Now, I realize that it would be better to take them out in the country and burn them. But, this isn’t really about the Care Bears anyhow. So far, they just sing three songs over an over and over.
However, here is the “Kill James” Elmo doll that I will not be getting. This is a video link, so headphones on if co-workers don’t want to listen to this news story. It is work safe.

Ok…this sentence above just sent me over the top in a fit of hysterical laughter…it’s been one of those days. But the “Kill James” Elmo…just weird!
I like how the mom wasn’t wacky or neurotic about it. She seemed like a reasonably concerned parent. I’m glad the news folks got the story and convinced Fischer Price to offer assistance. I bet if nobody had paid attention to the story, no refund would have been offered.
Concerned, OK. IMO, she’d only be reasonably concerned if she tried reprogramming the doll. If it truly was the child’s favorite toy, that would seem like a reasonable step to take. Then again, her face might not be on your computer if she’d done that.
