Is This Really Necessary?

In the BX (base exchange, like Target or something) we get both American and Japanese items in for sale. (It's mostly American stuff, but we have a large Sanrio department -- that's "Hello Kitty" to you and me.) I was shopping this weekend for four little kiddy poos that I "adopted" for a Christmas exchange, and I found this. One look at this Elmo toy and I knew where it originated. What's next? Andrew Dice Clay Elmo? I wasn't even curious enough to squeeze his tummy or do whatever I needed to do to hear Elmo shout. I'm not a mom, but if you have a child who is occasionally prone to yelling, as children occasionally tend to be, is this what you want him carrying around? What about Shut Up Elmo or Mouse Game Elmo? I could go for those. Children's Tylenol Elmo? Maybe Zanax Elmo or Diazepam Elmo? Sign me up.
