From the makers of the Tickle Me Elmo comes his successor: The Sickle Me Elmo.
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.”
