Sesame Street books teaching inappropriate message
« Thread Started on Jan 4, 2006, 12:02am »

Quote:

A mother in Dallas is one of several parents complaining about a new interactive book for toddlers in which Sesame Street character Elmo asks "Who wants to die?" according to a Local 6 News report.

Family members said 16-month-old Miranda Boll's new book, Potty Time With Elmo, was supposed to teach an interactive lesson using voice commands.

However, when the book's buttons are pressed, it reportedly says something it is not supposed to -- "Who wants to die?"

"It's a sick joke," mother Angela Bolls said. "If it's a joke, then it's a bad one, you know? And it's not necessary. It's inappropriate."

Bolls said she checked another copy of the same book and found that it says something completely different: "Who wants to try to go potty?"

The company that makes the book said it has had several complaints concerning the book, according to the report.

It's probably just a glitch or something, but you gotta admit, that's pretty funny.

Sounds hacked

Maybe we should start a business like that, adding all kinds of crap to soundboards for children ^^

Living with your eyes closed is like living an illusion... But maybe that's a good thing.

Wow if I was still a little kid and one of my toys said that,I would be scared out of my mind. I would start thinking about the movie Child's Play with Chukey and all. Hay, for me that would be a cool toy to have to scare the hell out of my friends,but the toy would make me look bad because that would say I buy Sesame Street books.

Cloudy days,
Farting the sun away,
I make all my orders with a C.O.D.,
Can you tell me how to beat the IRS for auditing me?

It was sooooo funny..
If I had one of those glitched dolls, I'd keep it O_o I wouldn't return it.
