Ah, today's possessed robot or evil toy: some Elmo dolls have been hacked. They were supposed to urge kids to use the toilet. Instead, some of the furry, friendly pals ask "Who wants to die?"
In a Freudian delirium, while being aimed at potty training, little kids plunge into the uncanny valley. Now that's interactivity!
Remember everyone's favorite Twilight Zone doll?

Completely agree with Alan. More and more, TZ looks like a glossary for the 21st century.
