A science museum in Canada is responsible for causing nightmares for many of its Twitter followers after sharing video of a furless Tickle Me Elmo.
The Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ontario shared video of the furless Elmo doll being tickled during the museum's summer camp.
"Ever wondered what Tickle Me Elmo looks like without fur?" the museum asked.
The sight of the doll's white mechanized skeleton and exposed wiring writhing upon being tickled, elicited several responses declaring the toy a horrifying abomination.
When one follower asked the museum what they had done to the beloved Elmo doll, the museum stated it was simply fulfilling its duty.
"It's all in the name of science!" the museum said.

This sounds suspiciously pizza-related.

You should see the hacks people do with the microcontrollers on these things. Oh, and the furby hacks and wowy robots are fun too.

I like it better without the fur.
Looks like a sci-fi prop.

So also, with my ex wife.

Is it akin to the old prank of putting heavy metal or gangsta rap (or worse) tapes in a Teddy Ruxpin?

"Ever wondered what Tickle Me Elmo looks like without fur?"Well, certainly not something that is keeping me up at night.
So, no, I don't give a rat's ass what Tickle Me Elmo looks like, with or without fur.
But I'll just guess that a hairless T.M.E. will be the rage and "must have" Christmas gift in demand for all the spoiled little shits all around the world this season.

I retired from a 40 year career in telecommunications. My funniest moment in all of that time was when the switch tech recorded a 976-smut (phone sex) a call and put it his daughter's Teddy Ruxpin doll. He had us rolling on the floor when his eyes rolled back every time the girl faked her passion.
Yes we listened to phone calls. We had to in order to check quality and troubleshoot complaints. It happens less often nowadays in the digital world.

My sons Teddy Ruckspin looked like that nude Elmo when he got done with it.
That kid could destroy Tonka Trunks

I bet that keeps them up at night down at Comet Ping Pong.
