  • When good toys turn bad!

    http://www.news.com.au/technology/ga...-1226792307235

    So apparently Furbies have been known to turn demonic if not loved enough.

        I actually want to get a furby, so I can take it apart and put it into an old router or something and have a talking router.

          Those things are probably the only toy that really creeped me out.

            I should suggest that to my boyfriend. He'd love the idea of creeping out his parents/housemates

              We have a Furby . . . Mom took the batteries out of it, though. She got tired of the noises.

                  One of the kids I work with once brought a Furby in. She proceeded to tell me that she didn't want to bump her bag around too much since it was asleep.

                  later on she got tired of her reindeer antlers so I suggested she put them in her bag. She looked at me with an expression on her face and said "I can't do that, it'll awake THE HORROR" aka the Furby.

                    So, in essence:

                    - Do not expose Furby to sunlight
                    - Do not expose Furby to water
                    - Do not feed Furby after midnight

                    It's the same rules that apply to my Mum's dogs lol!

                      When those things came out the first time I was visiting my sister and was sleeping in my niece's bedroom. I made the mistake of touching her evil furby. Of course the thing wouldn't shut up as I was trying to sleep so I finally kicked it into her closet. It made this sad little "Awww" sound but I wasn't falling for it. That's one of the creepiest toys ever made.
                      I would have a nice day, but I have other things to do.

                        Furby even looks a bit like Gizmo from the movie.

                            They actually made a version of gizmo and released it as a "furby friend"

                              That Furby should be glad that it didn't have this done to it.

                              Or this.

                              Or even this!

                              More closely related to the OP's link, there are also a few videos out there about evil or devil Furbys, as well as one on how to turn one evil.
