Talk:Elmo Knows Your Name

Elmo Death Threats
I've taken the info off of the article and I'm parking it here for now, because a) it's not worth tracking every minor news stir involving a Sesame Street product and b) the story just broke and aspects are fishy. "Toddler's Elmo Doll Makes Death Threats, Family Says" surfaced in a Tampa Tribune article and seems to have made a minor stir in that region, and may well get bigger as an internet meme, but the claim seems to hinge on iffy audio (many think the doll is saying "Call James" or "Tell James," not "Kill James") and overlooks the fact that if it was a glitch, the mother could simply reprogram the toy in all likelihood to correct the problem, and so on. In the unlikely event it becomes notable enough as a national incident, a note on the article might be necessary, but right now it's a lot of iffy elements and the kind of story journalists turn to on a slow news day. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 21:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
