Immolate Me Elmo
by Decius at 10:06 pm EST, Jan 8, 2007

Bumping Cypherghost's link through to BoingBoing, but this burning Elmo video is one part of a three part series that starts with this video. Watching the chared, burning robot flailing its metal limbs against the ground and laughing manically evokes some of the more disturbing scenes from the Animatrix. The future is machines that don't break down, they die.

I saw this when it first came out and thought about memeing it. It made me laugh pretty hard, especially when he sits up and his skeleton arm is flailing.

I was hoping that the sound would start to get messed up, glitching like it was circuit bent, toys winding down sound or something. The sound circuitry probably just shorted in an instant though at some point.

If I make make slight social commentary, it's weird to me that a few days ago I posted about impending changes to the Social Security system that will hasten the date it goes bust, and no one seems to care enough to recommend it. Now the immolated Elmo meme already has 5 posts. :)

Its not that I don't care, its that I'm skeptical. SS is something that people get real emotional about. So is illegal immigration. This is a press release from an advocacy group and I don't trust it. I don't understand why the US would pay social security benefits to an illegal alien. I'm thinking thats not actually the real story here. A similar agreement exists between the US and Canada, and its fairly reasonable, and I'm quite sure it doesn't apply if you moved between the countries illegally.

Have you seen Tickle Me Elmo Extreme? Yeah, the one that kicks, screams, and rolls around? Well, this is better. Yeah, they lit him on FIRE! If you thought the doll was funny, this is even better.

From BoingBoing:
This video of a live Tickle Me Elmo doll going up in flames is easily the most disturbing thing I've seen all month -- it writhes and thrashes and laughes with mad glee, begging you to "stop it" while its charred body dances with red flame. This is some deeply twisted stuff.

Totally not recommended for the little kids in your home.

Hey, anyone have a leftover Furbie?
