I believe they are evil too!

The one I had started to talk in a weird language so, I took the batteries out, and went to JC Penny to return it for a refund!

The lady at the store asked if I had my batteries with me, and I said no, and that it was making crazy sounds!

...to my surprise her daughter was in the store, and had her furby with her...they actually put batteries in mine, and the furby's were talking to eachother, and she would'nt refund!

I felt like I was going to be stuck with that creepy thing forever!

I finally just took it to Wal-Mart!

This the cutest thread i've ever seen!

Those Emoticons have shocked the daylights out of me many times...especially the one that says " Oh my Goooood"!

I dont have the speakers on because i know the Russians have taken over my computer and they are trying to brainwash me. I wont play their silly games. Now my tv, now that's for a whole nother thread.

Its just not safe anywhere, you notice that?

I remember once,I was out for the night at a club.When I got back my other half was at the table,having breakfast (it was about 10am,long night) he said "now,don't think I've lost it,but I think we've got a ghost" He goes on to say that at around 2am,he heard a womans voice say "you've got company" He'd looked around everywhere for someone in the house,each room he went in,he got mor and more scared. (by the time he's got this far into the story I'm giggling) In the end,he got so scared,he grabbed both the dogs,and locked himself in the front room,and slept in there. Well,that was the icing on the cake,I was in stitches by now.

I'd left my computer on,with the volume up full (I've got a decent set of speakers attacthed) I'm on AOL (I know,I should know better) And when one of my friends comes online,it tells me by saying "you've got company" as anyone with aohell will know.

He eventually saw the funny side. (no idea why it took him so long,i could see it straight away )

This reminds me of a list of peculiar Latin phrases that I came across when I was looking for a translation.

Valui ad satanam in computatrum meum invocandum.

(I succeeded in summoning satan into my computer.)

Now this was worth the OP. What did you say to it? Does your dog usually field your questions? Do other objects talk to you?

Those damn emoticons got me at work...I was on ATS over lunch, and I knew the shop was empty...took me a while. I cussed, I did!

As to speaking foreign languages, my sister-in-law has two cutsie electronic Easter duckies that quack...but after one of them goes through the cycle, it then barks like a dog. But just the one...
Cracks me up every time!

That's nothing.

Anyone remember the, now recalled, Harry Potter Nimbus 2000?

'Nothing like giving kids a vibrating broomstick to shove between their legs.

I could write up a philosophical essay on what happened to the concept, but I fear that it might be a bit off topic.

Regardless, the OP's question, regarding whether or not ATS has speaking ads that slip through, has been answered.

Yes, occasionally there are talking ads that slip through the cracks. Fortunately, SO is usually right on top of the situation, and they don't stick around very long.

Yeah I got one full blast when I had headphones on awhile ago and I about put my fist right through the monitor. You can tell your PC not to play sounds like that. I forget how but it should not be hard to find. It will play media just not the annoying clicks of the mouse or sounds from ads.
