- YourAnalogBuddy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5sorry to spoil some of the fun but it sounds like he is saying
"uh oh, who wet the bed?"
if you open the video with this in mind im sure you'll hear it. if you open the video listening for "who wants to die?" im sure you can hear that too - CaptSnuffy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's what you get when you let corporate America teach your kid to take a *****
- Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's "Uh oh, who wet the bed"
You can clearly hear it when you slow the audio down:

Everyone who has been bitching about this book needs to get a grip - your kids shouldn't be learning how to speak from a freaking microchip-embedded book"
Probably because the parent doesn't know how to read either so the aid of a talking book is necessary.

I dunno, I think corporate america is the BEST people to teach a kid to *****, seeing as they are full of it - koenkai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Reminds me of the time I wore an Elmo suit one Halloween and asked random women to: "tickle me, baby." In an appropriately creepy voice...odd thing is, some actually did...lol
- ericpp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Gotta love the news:
"This is so obscene"
"Who wants to die?"
"It's saying who wants to die"
"Who wants to die?"
"See... lets keep playing it over and over since its so obscene"
"Who wants to die?"
"Who wants to die?"
"Who wants to die?" - Orangutan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i always thought Elmo was an evil genius

Why are people digging this? - falseintellect, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1well i found it funny..
what are you doing buying your kid a book that was supposed to say "Who wants to try to go potty?" anyway? - mc1123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1whats next, a tickle me elmo that says "touch me again and i'll kill you!" ?
- graphicNature, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This would be an excellent tool if my kids weren't already potty trained. Just imagine. "If you don't stop crapping your pants Elmo will kill you!" They'd be on the toilet in no time.
- fohat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is an obvious attempt of the makers of this book in collusion with the mother to get more books to sell.
Who wants to Buy? - neofactor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ok.... clearly it says: "Who wants to TRY" not Die!
And RE: playing in firefox... worked fine for me... you clearly do not have Windows Media player installed on your machine correctly... Here is the link directly: http://mfile.akamai.com/12909/wmv/vod.ibsys.com/2006/0102/5793961.200k.asx
I run Firefox 1.5 on Mac OX with Windows Media Player 9 - rderveloy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's funny because it's cute!
BTW, people are digging this because they have a sense of humor. - jeremyngu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is potty training
- osupikapp1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8028546334
their going crazy for them on ebay!!! - spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lmao -- I saw this on Diggnation -- hilarious!
- abbtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LOL this is too funny!!!!

http://hackedgadgets.com - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0People are ***** uptight.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I WANT ONE!!!!! but only one that says that!!!
- timtastic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is so dumb. You clearly can't tell for sure whether it says "Who wants to die" or "Who wants to go". Kevin and Alex didn't hear the audio when they reported on Diggnation but calling it a "hack" is totally wrong - it's just a misinterpretation because of the crappy audio in those books. If someone really wanted to hack it they could do a much better job.
- brhad56, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0To me, it sounds like: "Uh oh...*chuckle*...Who was the guy?"
- dj_sea2005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oh, and i am going to attempt a remix of this, ill post it on digg when its finsihed.
- LowGan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thanks for the slowed down version, it made it very clear
- UncleRico, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think it has something to do with dialect. people from different regions pronounce words oddly (to people from other regions) and words can be misheard. To me, being from the South, it sounds like "Die", especially if I am not paying close attention. After listening to the slowed down version, I can hear "Go", but you can tell Elmo speaks very nasally. So the next question is, where the crap is Elmo from?
- dj_sea2005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"That's what you get when you let corporate America teach your kid to take a *****"
bahahahahah!!
this is a hilarous article regardless of what its really saying! - torindkflt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm 50% deaf, and even I am hearing it as "Who wants to go?". Those little audio synthesizer chips they use in these types of books produce terribly poor quality audio, like a sampling rate of 8 bits at 4KHz. You can hear the crackling and tinnyness that causes these problems quite easily in this clip.
- mrsknl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0does anyone have a recording of the elmo saying "who wants to try to go potty?" on the correct books?
btw, this is funny and it does sound like "who was the guy?" i would probably not have thought he was saying "Who wants to die?" if i was not prompted before hand. - codylandis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0so if you press a button does Big Bird say, "Snuffleluffagus, it's what's for dinner!"
or perhaps the Count names off the number of whores "servicing" him?
1, 2, 3, 4....4 whores giving me a blowjob....hahahahaha ha - ChaosX721, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LOL. Whats next, "Tickle me again and DIE!" Thought this was a funny pic to go with it http://dailyramblings.com/blog/images/elmo1.jpg
- CaptainGs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is funny, but I'm pretty sure Elmo is saying 'try' like others have pointed out.
- inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"ROFL Its not a sick joke, its black humour!"
I disagree. Black humor is a fairly sophisticated form of humor intended for adults, many of whom don't even understand it. Aimed at young children, it becomes a sick joke indeed. Yes, this Elmo thing is funny, but it is a sick joke. Don't fool yourself. - frankthomas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is holarious, sick, but holarious. How does something like this make it into the consumer market?
- squenix1221, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i think it is "uh oh, who wet the bed?" but i could understand how they could think it said who wants to die
- spiderland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Elmo asks, "why repost articles from fark?"
- vestibule, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Bwahahaha! After all, it's just a question.....
- kris2pe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah I agree it almost sound like try or DIE!!! But I review & yeah the pronounciation could not b mistake it sounds like D.. rather than Thrry
- albel65, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Obousily, this was brought to you by the letter, "D"
- Smoktiludy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Everyone will repost articles from everywhere. It's just the way Digg works.
- fohat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I really think they should've invested heavier on R&D...
- HiddenS3crets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You HAVE to watch the video! LMAO
- Wardvark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awsome-o
- p3lEr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LMAO....
- Cyborg771, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sounds like "go" not "die". And why the hell was the mother still playing it for her kid if she was so damned offended?
- grantgorgen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0there's no way it's "die"... funny tho.. just wait for the report from the manufacturer
- OOTay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ROFLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111oneoneoneoneone
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I always knew that muppet was out to get us. I can just imagine the little red bastard with ammo strapped to his chest and a machine gun in each hand.
- geekologist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I always knew Elmo was evil.
- aussiehuw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sounds more like "go" than "die". Stupid local news shows, no digg.
