Maybe you thought so already, but here's a new reason. There's an Elmo doll on the market that can be taught to say names and phrases. Following a battery replacement, the doll belonging to a toddler named James now says, "Kill... James...," when you press it. It's a difficult situation for the mother, because James absolutely loves Elmo merchandise, including that doll -- and now repeats, "Kill... James...." The company has refused to do anything about it.
You might be able to get the story here. I'm not sure how long the link will be good, tho.
Elmo is evil

-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Blame your local station for not bothering with a voiceover, then.

True. Up until recently, a double-digit number of available channels was the exception rather than the norm. Nevermind the vast array of channels available now."Local" station?Blame your local station for not bothering with a voiceover, then.
Our whole country only had four stations when I was growing up.
The irony is, if you took out all the garbage, waste-of-airspace shows on satellite TV, and only kept the quality programming, you'd have just enough material to keep a half-dozen stations running full-time.
