This is one oddly disturbing toy. Behold Nabaztag and his threatening arrival:
What is he doing with my router? Who sent him? Who is he working for?

Eeek! That's one scary toy. And I just got back from a week at my sister's, where I was exposed to more toys than I had seen all year.

I remember StephTheGeek having one up on her site [before it disappeared]. You could send comments directly to her via the web.
It was pretty cool!

@peter
Sure, it's cool now. But wait until the Russians get bored with Georgia and hack into it and the cute little voice is telling your kids/pets/significant other to chop off your feet and mail them to Canada...

A continually talking electronic toy? I have only one thing to say...
Sorry, the rabbit died!

It's staring at me. Please make it stop staring at me.

@Michael Tinkler, act now to protect your sister.
@peter naegele, "before it disappeared"? The bunny-thing now targets web sites, too?
@Ed Webb, steady on, sir. You don't want to exposure yourself to Their gaze yet.
@jeremy hunsinger, "it is not so bad"? Stop! it's already *in your brain*!
@Randy, are you sure it did?
@Rob Vega, just look away, and ye may yet be saved.
