Evil Elmo

People think I’ve made it up when I do the “evil elmo” voice. Oh, if only it were made up. But, it’s oh so very true: Elmo is evil.

“A two-year-old’s life has been turned upside down by vicious talk coming from his favorite toy, Elmo Knows Your Name. It seems that after a recent battery change, the PC-interfacing doll began spouting death threats of “kill James” at the toddler, with seemingly no explanation as to how the new phrase entered his vocabulary. ”

Gervais + Elmo = Hilarity on ‘Sesame Street’
