• They Say – Most Toys Are Toxic

  NYPIRG, which is an acronym for "New York Public Interest Research Group" and not an ancient Hebrew word meaning "bummer", tested a bunch of toys for toxic materials. And they found nothing wrong!

• Nothing Says “Save the Children” Like a Sweet Stache

  Welcome to Mustaches for Kids, your chance to run a marathon for a children’s charity—“without the exertion, cramps, or dehydration.” Instead of actually running, you simply have to sit around drinking beer and letting the facial hair directly above your upper lip grow. Naturally, friends, family, and strangers on the street will appreciate your sacrifice so much they will be eager to give you donations for children’s charities such a Make-a-Wish Foundation and New Orleans Children’s Hospital. And you better get started now: the Growing Season is from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Read More...

• So Who's Got 60 Bucks for an Elmo Doll?

  As Madeline mentioned in Friday's Morning News post, a new Elmo doll will arrive in stores on Tuesday. Called Elmo Live, the electronically-powered Muppet toy is touted as the most realistic Elmo yet, one that can flap his arms and wiggle around just like the Sesame Street character. But all that realism comes at a cost. Specifically, $60, the highest price tag ever for an Elmo doll. In case you missed it, let me repeat that: Mattel is releasing its most expensive Elmo doll ever during what is, perhaps, the worst economic crisis in American history. Forget Tickle Me Elmo. Try "Slip Me a Couple Bucks, Elmo, So I Can Afford to Buy Your Orange Ass for My Kid at Christmas." Read More...
