The Rocking Consumer Report

Since JBB’s on a roll with electronic products (we’re surfing the computerized wave of the future!), we’re proud to bring you the latest wonder of consumerism. As we all know, we 20-somethings are approaching the time of life when our friends start having babies. And since many of us don’t have babies of our own, we’re stumped on what to get them on the blessed occasion. Well, JBB’s here to help. Just follow the lead of your trusty editors, who purchased this adorable product for JB’s own baby boy.



Product: Elmo Knows Your Name
Price: $39.99
Materials: fuzz, googly eyes, pompom nose, USB cable and CD Rom
Home: Toys R Us



Elmo proves that friends can be bought.

Observe Stalker Elmo. This plush, programmable, foot-long, interactive fellow has googly eyes and an orange pompom for a nose. He’ll remember baby’s every move. He’s cute, he’s fuzzy, he’s “Elmo Knows Your Name.” Giftwrap is available.

Your Elmo can be programmed to know your child’s name, birthday, likes and dislikes, and daily routine. He will also retain the names of baby’s relatives, friends, and pets. He knows more than 100 stories and games, which he will personalize just for baby. The computer programming part is easy as 1-2-3! Confusing directions are most likely included in the box.

His uses include: playing with baby so that parents don’t have to, keeping a googly eye on every aspect of baby’s life so that he’s never alone, and educating infants about computer programming. He’s also the friend every baby should have. As the sales department declares, “children feel that they are interacting with a ‘real’ live special friend.” All babies are beautiful, but let’s face it—some are less beautiful than others. It’s these unfortunate little souls who will benefit most from the friendship of a “real live” stalker Elmo. When no other children will play with your child, at least he will have his fuzzy friend to keep him company on the playground.

For $39.99, Elmo can know your name.
