The article
There's a video on there with a recording of the message. It does indeed sound like the book is saying what parents think it is. In case the url goes bad, here's the article: Originally posted by Local6.com I'm not sure if this is a joke or something went horribly wrong with the recording.

Sounds like someone is going to get fired, regardless of whether it was a joke or not. ...I never knew they had Sesame Street potty training books. ...talking ones at that too. | |||
WhiteRose Warrior Sailor Delerium Have you ever spent days and days and days making up flavors of ice cream that no ones ever eaten before?

wow, that's slightly disturbing. The video wouldn't play on my comp for some reason, but just reading from the article. I think someone is gonna get more than just fired. | |||

I had to open the page in Internet Explorer for it to work. It's just a television news report of the story, but it has the sound clips of the book. | |||

Nothing motivates a young child more than death threats from thier icon. | |||

A friend of mine thought the 'tainted books' would make a killing on eBay. | |||

So your saying is that any kid who heard the recording will grow up to be a killer that doesnt know how to go potty? | |||

I saw Steven Colbert talking about the book.
If you seriously threaten someone to do something they'll do it, and those pooper troopers will learn how to shat in a toilet. Every child needs some past life scarring so they know what the world is like....take a dump or you'll die. |

Not to turn this into a dark discussion for Debate, but one of the leading reasons for child abuse are parents' frustatrations with their child not being potty-trained yet.
Really puts that whole "Who wants to die?" thing into perspective. Otherwise upon hearing that soundbyte on the news made me laugh my ass off. |

That's very true, Rogue. My stepbrother for four years was severely abused by his mother. In court they came to the conclusion that she was frustrated with him not being potty-trained.
On another note, I was a huge sesame street nut when I was little and I can only imagine the trauma of hearing my favorite read fuzzy face asking me if I wanted to die. 0_0 |

I heard about this at work, and wasn't sure about the validity of the allegation until I listened to the sound clip posted here. I think it sounds pretty convincing -- although, I'm thinking the makers will somehow say it only "sounds like" he's saying that, but actually saying something similar. | |||

I was actually joking about the threatening your children and stuff, its not healthy for them but other than that, that books would make a good novelty item. |
