Stands for Tickle Me Xtreme. The new Tickle Me Elmo toy from Fisher-Price celebrates its 10th year with a new Elmo who is, simply put, extreme. Too loud actually that he comes out incredibly annoying. [Let's see if you can stand the video.]
I meant to write so much more about the interesting conversations that resulted from this scandalous little toy --- that is, delve into the many ways adulthood distorts a child's eyes. But yes, judging from the many violent reactions against this toy, let me veer away from the Hydrocephalus Poo, Rabid Pluto, Obscene Donald Duck, etc etc. [Had fun, you two. And I love you, one of you.]
