Its a tragedy. My wife tried so hard to get one of those for my son this Christmas (at a normal price) and never found one. Now they are burning them alive! Im going to have to start a new site now. pabtmed.org (parents against burning tickle me elmo dolls)
It's kind of *Uncanny* how it almost seemed to "Feel the Pain" it was going through by it's actions in the Video...
I saw that a few days ago... It's funny that they were selling for a few hundred on Ebay, and a few weeks later people are burning them for fun. LOL
OMG that is such a waste! I ended up getting 3 of them paying double their retail value only to see it at walmart 2 months later. :/
There is a factory in America which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arm. A new employee is hired at the tickle me elmo factory and she reports for her 1st day promptly at 8am. At 8.45 the next day there is a knock on the personnel managers door. The foreman from the assembly line throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee. He complains she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule.The personnel manager decides he should see this for himself and both men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmos all over the factory floor and they are really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line is the new employee surrounded by Tickle Me Elmos.She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of marbles. The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric wraps it around 2 marbles and begins to sew the little package between Elmos legs. The manager bursts into laughter, after several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches the woman. I'm sorry he says to her barely able to keep a straight face, but I think you misunderstood my instructions yesterday.....your job is to give Elmo -------- 2 test tickles!!!!!!!
