It sounds like something the talking doll Chucky from the movies might say: "Kill James!" Instead, a Florida family says the threat to their toddler is coming from a talking Elmo doll.

The Bowman family, of Lithia, Fla., said an Elmo doll belonging to their 2-year-old son, James, began to spout death threats towards him after they changed its batteries, TBO.com reports.

The Elmo Knows Your Name Doll started saying "Kill James!" in a sing-song voice, the site reports.

"It's not something that really you would think would ever come out of a toy," James' mother, Melissa, told the site. "But once I heard, I was just kind of distraught."

The toy's manufacturer, Fisher-Price, said it will issue the Bowmans a voucher for a replacement doll, TBO.com reports.

The mother hasn't sent it back, IMO, because they can tell how it came to say "Kill James". She probably programmed it to do it, with her computer, for attention. I smell a law suit.

Ok, so the reason she doesn't take out the batteries is...either she's going for a lawsuit or she's an idiot. Maybe both.

Clearly a victim of battery.

Are you somehow related to Groucho Marx? Because when you make quips like that, that's who I see. Don't change your avatar though. Bill Watterson was a genius.

Yes clearly the mom was so distraught by this creepy doll that she's still letting her son play with it, without even bothering to try and reprogram it.

And don't forget those scary TeleTubbies.

How is it only one of them was (supposedly) gay?

[Just Plain Ruff]

if you ask me, all the teletubbies were gay.

Same with that other show with the round blobs, can't remember who they were but they are on in the morning on PBS

I also think Bert and Ernie are gay

And, Bob the builder, something is just plain wrong with him. He has this Wendy fauning all over him but he does nothing. Plus in a cartoon/claymation sort of way, she's pretty hot. And she has boobs

[mrmeaner]

Wayne, did you think Bugs Bunny was hot when he dressed up like a girl bunny?

They should really license people to have kids. If you can't figure out what to do with a foul mouth elmo you shouldn't reproduce.
