Apparently some poor kid in Tampa Bay has had someone set his Elmo Knows Your Name doll to the evil setting.
After changing the battery, two-year-old James' Elmo began blurting out "Kill James!" when squeezed.
One of the many spin-offs of the wildly successful Tickle-Me-Elmo dolls, Elmo Knows Your Name connects to a PC to learn new phrases, including the child's name (making it ideal for death threats.)
For some reason, I'm not surprised. I mean, the name "Elmo Knows Your Name" is creepy enough. It's not too far off from "Elmo knows where you live."
