Elmo's Time Is OVER

Hey All,

When will people get the clue that Elmo was a hit toy craze in about 1997? Elmo, in his various annual re-released forms has not been the major toy if the US Christmas season since! My work still has a decent supply of last years Elmo left and cannot even get rid of them at clearance prices. Boo-Bah sold faster. That is how unpopular Elmo is these days! At least here. He must sell well somewhere, because he is redesigned, and brought back into stores each year! Or the managers at Fisher Price must be blind to realize that nobody buys this confounded toy!

Two years ago it was Hokey-Pokey Elmo! Prior to that was Potty Training Elmo!

Last year was the horribly hypnotic E-L-M-O (YMCA rip off) doll. That stupid thing didn't even move enough to make the correct letters. If Fisher Price is going to torment society with such a toy, at least make a quality one!

And now, in his next classic tune rip off, we have SHOUT! Elmo! I will never again be able to hear the lyrics "A little bit softer now" without cringing, because I have been exposed to SHOUT! Elmo! I also have that stupid little jingle stuck in my head today....I got it out yesterday but saw a TV commercial....didn't get to the mute button fast enough, heard the first part and it was back in my head.

Predictions for future Elmos that would be just as bad or worse than the ones listed above:
Macarena Elmo....this cannot be far behind, Elmo has already ruined the Hokey-Pokey! You don't want to imagine it, but the scary part is I could be right!

Electric Slide Elmo?

Wait...wait! I got it now! Boot-Scootin Boogie Elmo!

I guess Elmo will finnally be done when he has taught every line dance ever created....or perhaps taught us all the basic skills neccessary for survival.

Hoping Elmo goes back to Sesame Street for good....
