The next big toy craze ...or a sign of the apocalypse?

What, the Tickle Me Elmo Christmas riots weren't enough?

I can't decide if this is the awesomest toy that I absolutely will be getting for Maddie for her birthday (that will surely help her practice motor skills and speak clearly and enthusiastically to her, developing her verbal and listening skills)...

Or if it pretty much goes against every fiber of my being.

OR if it's a sign that the robots are getting much too intelligent and will one day take over the earth, enslave all humans, and make us wear red fur suits.

*sigh* ...I think Elmo had me at "Jazz Hands!"
