I thought you said Emo for a second there. Depression knows all names, but no one cares.

Heard it on the radio station on the way home and though it was pretty funny and a sad state of affairs when you need to buy your kid a toy that says your name...

Leave me alone Jinny, I'm watching Oprah. Go play with Elmo...

I bought an Elmo doll for my neice from toysrus.com last year that says her name.  The only difference is the one I got was programmed at the factory and this new one can be programmed at home and its now being advertised.

just found the link to the one I got http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000DZCRT/qid=1130889458/sr=8-3/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i3_xgl21/102-5627117-8341760?v=glance&s=toys&n=507846
