Who is Elmo really laughing at??

Apparently, the people here who feel compelled to treat this toy as if it were the ultimate cure for cancer.

(Forget the fact that this doll will be as available as gravel in a parking lot AFTER Christmas.)

When I first heard about the new "T.M.X Elmo", I immediately knew their clever marketing commitee would employ the exact same method for popular consumption as they did for the original "Tickle Me Elmo". Yet, I admit to assuming that people would not be as stupid to fall for the hype after the fiasco set forth 10 years ago.

I was wrong.

Is this toy really worth commiting a crime for??

1.) Stealing to feed your family? Occasionally.
2.) Killing in the name of self-defense? Possibly.
3.) Ignoring the other 100,000+ talking, noisey toys in the store so that you can be the "best parent on the block"?

(If you hesitated for more than 4 nano-seconds after reading that last question, you need to be locked up without a jury or the remote possibilty of parole!)

It will surely spark some creative answers to the question;
"What are you in for?"

The only ones laughing louder than this toy, are the communists and terrorists our nation is trying to scare into submission.

L-O-L

This reminds me of Cabbage Patch dolls and others I could name. Scary that our children's wants and desires over rule our common sense and sense of proper behavior.
