Consider Situation #1...
Little Billy, age 6, is walking home from Kindergarten. He normally walks home with his friends, but today his friends were ill and had to stay home. While little Billy is walking along the sidewalk, a black car pulls up to him and a man rolls down the window. He tells Billy,
"Hey kid, I'll give you some candy if you get in my car.". Little Billy, weary of strangers, says "No thank-you, mommy says not to get into stangers' cars.". The man then opens the car's door, grabs little Billy, and puts him in his trunk. Later that day, the police find little Billy's bloated corpse floating in a ditch.
This situation could have been avoided with Taser Me Elmo. Let us see how this situation would have been different if Billy's parents would have bought him a Taser Me Elmo doll for Christmas...
...The man opens the car's door and reaches for little Billy. Billy, aware that he is about to be kidnapped, pulls out his Taser Me Elmo doll, squeezes Elmo's hand, and two electrodes on wires fire from Elmo's eyes and into the criminal's chest. 50,000 volts go into the criminal and he passes out. Little Billy runs home and plays with his puppy. Another day saved by Taser Me Elmo.
Consider Situation #2...
Little Charlie is playing with his toy cars in a sandbox. He is by himself in the sandbox, but there are other children on the playground. Unanticipatedly, a larger, older boy is standing by the sandbox. Charlie looks up at the older boy and asks "Would you like to play with me?". The older boy scoffs and says "No way, boogerface!" and the bully steals Charlie's toy cars. Charlie's self-confidence goes down and he suffers emotional damage, and ten years later when he's in high school Charlie goes on a school shooting rampage and kills 40 students, including the bully who stole his toy cars so many years ago in the sandbox.
This situation could have been avoided with Taser Me Elmo. Let us see how this situation would have been different if Charlie's parents would have bought him a Taser Me Elmo doll on his birthday...
...the bully reaches for Charlie's toy cars when Charlie pulls out his Taser Me Elmo. He squeezes Elmo's hand, and two electrodes shoot out of Elmo's eyes and deliver 50,000 volts to the bully. The bully drops Charlie's toy cars and he learns not to steal. Charlie runs home and plays with his puppy. Another day saved by Taser Me Elmo.
Consider Situation #3...
Little Katie and her mom are leaving the mall after a day of shopping. Katie sees a bubblegum vending machine and says to her mother "Mommy! I want some bubblegum! Buy me some bubblegum!" Her mother declines her daughter's wish, explaining that "You can have some gum when we get home.". Little Katie throws a tantrum, and starts crying. She refuses to go anywhere until her mother buys her gum. Her mother gets very angry at her and slaps little Katie. The next day, Katie tells her teacher that her mother slapped her, and the teacher brings this to court. The mother is sued for child abuse and pays $20,000 to the government, and little Katie goes to social services and gets adopted into a new family.
This situation could have been avoided with Taser Me Elmo. Let us see how this situation would have been different if Katie's parents would have bought her a Taser Me Elmo doll for Thanksgiving...
..."Mommy! I want some bubblegum! Buy me some bubblegum!" Her mother declines her daughter's wish, explaining that "You can have some gum when we get home.". Little Katie pulls out her Taser Me Elmo doll and squeezes Elmo's hand. Two electrodes fire out of Elmo's eyes and into her mother's back, delivering a shock of 50,000 volts. Her mother falls over and spills a handful of quarters onto the ground. Katie takes a quarter and buys herself some bubblegum. Her mother then drives them both home, and Katie goes inside and plays with her puppy. Another day saved by Taser Me Elmo. Elmo bad

Make that a million volts. |

It's a no-brainer really. Amazing the Sesame Street marketeers haven't thought of it before. |

The franchise should also include "Drive-by Ernie", "Torture me Big Bird", and "Car-bomb Cookie Monster". |
|
| |
In this day and age, children need to protect themselves. Taser Me Elmo also helps children develop hand-eye coordination when they aim Elmo at people. |
|
| |
"Mommy, can I have some cookies?" |
|
| |
"No, honey, it's dinner time soon. |
|
| |
I absolutely will not create Car Bomb Cookie Monster and post pictures on the web. I just won't do it. Stop trying to make me. |
|
| |
When I read this I thought (and was hoping) this was a tickle me elmo that shocked children. Halfway through his vibrating laughter it just delivers a high voltage shock to the child innocently playing with the creapy toy. |
|
| |
I like it anyway... an evil bun to you sir.... |
|
| |
Shouldn't this be Taser You Elmo? |
|
| |
I thought it was going to be an Elmo with a fake tazer that you tazer him with to make him scream and whimper. I would definitely buy that. |
|
| |
I think the best form of Elmo related protection would be an Elmo that when squeezed, took of photo and sent it to the police, along with GPS coordinates. This action would be accompanied by Elmo's uber-annoying voice declaring "ha ha ha, Elmo send picture to policeman, ha ha ha" |
|
| |
there are some children (who shall remain nameless) that I wouldn't entrust with a taser. |
|
| |
I agree with po. My little brother, for instance, and all of his friends. I thought from the title this would be an idea for a toy which allows a child to practice tasing on a safe target. Still not a good idea. - |
|

// there are some children (who shall remain nameless) that I wouldn't entrust with a taser |
|
| |
Only SOME?! I think the title "Taser Me Elmo" is very fitting, really. My two are relatively well behaved, but I wince when they use children's scissors, never mind anything more dangerous. Now, considering how irrational "It's not fair" can be, I'd hate to have to deal with it with a "ha ha ha, that tickles" ominously echoing in the background. |
|
| |
On a different note, I can picture the history books: "The Taser Me Elmo Riots"/War/Gang/Market... |
|
| |
Extremely bad idea, but for some reason the name has me chuckling for several minutes now. [+] |
|
| |
Didn't read the idea, didn't need to. You had me at: "Taser Me Elmo" Bun. |
|
| |
If you taser Elmo, does he laugh uncontrollably? |
|
| |
This is just so dangerous. Katie's mommie shouldn't drive anywhere after being tasered. Bone for you. |
|
| |
I don't know what has already been annotated, but I'm sure that a "Taser Me Elmo" would never be allowed in any school that I know of. |
|
| |
50,000 volts would be much more harmful to the "older boy" than to an average adult. |
|
| |
It sounds to me like someone (cough cough codell... cough!) didn't have a very good childhood. |
|
| |
Hey, these could be marketed to police departments. |
|
| |
Also handy for undercover officers in preschools. |
|
| |
"Who is your daddy, and what does he do?" |
|
| |
Finger me Elmo, to teach kids what to do if they are touched inappropriately by an adult. |
|
| |
I was gonna bun this until the bit about Katie and her mom. In that instance Katie should learn a little discipline and not use a weapon as a means of getting what she wants. So, a bone for this. It's all in the presentation. |
|
| |
Waddayamean [Noexit] Little Katie is destined to be our next president. |
|
| |
I thought it was a red fuzzy doll that when you squeeze his little hand, he screams and writhes on the ground. Squeeze it enough times, and he just dies. |
|
| |
Weird. I'll bun it. Won't buy it, but I'll bun it. |
|
| |
[elhigh] You are describing "Interrogate Me Elmo". Available exclusively in the gift shop at Guantanamo Bay. |
|
| |
Good idea, but as with all toys, there should be an age limit defined. How about 18 months and up? (+) |
