Yesterday's 5pm Newscast featured a serious tensioned story of Hamas winning parliamentary elections. Bad news for Israel, bad news for the Palestinian people, and bad news for the rest of the world. This story got all the serious attention it deserved.... but then we immediately segwue'd to the following...

"IN CONSUMER NEWS...

A NEW CHILDREN'S BOOK ENTITLED "POTTY TIME WITH ELMO" TEACHES KIDS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS WHEN NATURE CALLS.

BUT IF YOU ARE AN UNLUCKY RECIPIENT OF ONE OF THE "DEFECTIVE" BOOKS IN CIRCULATION, YOUR CHILDREN CAN ALSO HEAR A RATHER UNPLEASANT RECORDING..."

The unpleasant recording? In my best Elmo voice... eh hem... "Uh oh, Who wants to Die?" Seriously. "Who wants to Die?" Elmo has officially gone Jihadi.

This photo was taken shortly after Elmo's conversion.

Elmo -- Ready for Jihad.

This would make a great gift for jihadi kiddies everywhere. Disclaimer on the package could read...

"Explosives Not Included"

Update: I've been asked what Elmo was supposed to say. Keeping in mind the books title, "Potty Time with Elmo," the loveable guy says [on models not marred by the vagaries of audio compression]...

"Uh oh, Who has to go?"
