Fischer Price Now Making Elmo Porn?
Posted by Thomas J. Brown at 1314 hrs
Today on T.V. I saw the new Tickle Me Elmo ad. To see it for yourself, visit the official T.M.X. (Tickle Me Elmo Extra Special Edition) website and click on video #1.
It shows Elmo in various positions, waving his arm around like he's masturbating, giggling, and everything below his neck is obscured by a mosaic effect. You know, the one they use to censor nudity on the news.
Is this really how they should be promoting the new Tickle Me Elmo, especially given the toy's sordid past? More importantly, what parent would shell out $40

I don't think I want to follow the clues to reveal it!
My ex-girlfriend had a Tickle Me Elmo when they first came out. I'm not saying it contributed to our breakup, I'm just saying it annoyed the shit out of me!

I can only hope that the editor who made that ad has a sick sense of humor. Otherwise, he or she is a fucking moron.

Confession: the toddler here is getting one for Christmas this year. But I didn't (and wouldn't!) pay $40. It was less than that at Target last week! And I never thought I'd ever be buying one, but I honestly couldn't think of anything else. Pretty sad.
