Hope you guys like not sleeping, because a furless version of beloved kid's toy, Tickle Me Elmo, is here to plague your mind meat with its uncanny, skinned-alive-but-still-giggling freakiness. Please, nobody show the real life Elmo, he's only 3.

See what you've done, @ScienceMobileEN? I hope you're happy with yourself. You've scared the children and the children at heart with your no-good toy meddling.

Anywho, sweet dreams.
