Geez, people really don't like Elmo, huh?

Chris Spags Founder and Editor

A coworker sent me to this awesome old post on Gizmodo about the new Elmo toy hitting the market, so of course, I thought “Wow, that’d make for an interesting blog post.” Unfortunately, Gawker’s blogs don’t let you embed their videos, so I went on YouTube to see if there were any other copies. Alas, there were none. But I found these perturbing videos of people lighting Elmo on fire and blowing him up.

Elmo coming after me laughing while ablaze will haunt my dreams for weeks. Who will stop this menace?

Oh, apparently these guys will. Repeatedly. And with special effects. I guess if you’re going to stop Elmo, that’s how to do it with style. But Elmos need love too:

Oh Elmo. This world was not made for you. I guess you can’t spell Elmo without “emo”.

What'd you think of this?
