It seems like a distant memory when adults were ready to throw down for the chance to get their hands on a Cabbage Patch Kid or a Tickle Me Elmo. Thanks to Fisher Price, strategic product shortages and the new Tickle Me Elmo, those days are back in full swing.
A man claiming to have a gun reportedly Muppet-napped a TMX (Tickle Me Extreme) Elmo in Florida.
“He told me he had a loaded gun on him and he’d have no problem shooting me,” the victim told a 911 operator in Tampa. “What it was,” he said, “was an issue over this stupid Tickle Me Elmo freaking doll.”
Of course lazy parents are already using this as an excuse to not be bothered to get a TMX for their own kid.
“I don’t think it’s worth dying for, actually,” said Don Stephen, 40, who had been hoping to buy the doll for a friend’s child.
If you really mean that Don, then the terrorists have already won.
