Video of the Day: Burn-My-Face-Off-Elmo
Wednesday, January 3, 2007
http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2007/01/elmo_175x125.jpg
We've covered already the unusual levels of violence prompted by 2006's 'must have' toy, the new Tickle-Me Elmo doll. You will recall that the toy – which talks, giggles when tickled, and can get up when it falls over – was the cause of a gun confrontation in Florida (http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=2… when one shopper became angry with another for getting the last doll.
Worrying as that may have been, it's nowhere near as disturbing as this video, in which some miscreants set one of the Tickle-Me Elmos on fire.
Because (in a tribute to the solidity of its electronics) as Elmo burns, he keeps on giggling, trying to walk around and sit upright, and occasionally spasming in a very strange way.
The way he gleefully screams 'it tickles!' in an unearthly howl as his fur burns away, and his body jerks around uncontrollably, is something that may well haunt your nightmares for weeks to come. Or make you laugh. One of the two.
It's like something out of an early Tim Burton movie, crossed with that bit in Terminator where the Terminator skeleton just keeps dragging itself on even though it's been blown up and cut in half. And maybe a little Hellraiser or something like that in there as well.
Anyway, it's very good.
