They're watching you.
OT: Yes.

I had two Furbies. The idea was that you could put them facing each other, so the sensors on their foreheads would recognize each other, and they'd talk to one another. Clearly my trajectory was off, because they spoke in a haunting chorus of Pig Latin-esque sounds and burps and giggles.
If I remember right, you could get it to shut up by covering the sensor and its eyes, to "trick it into thinking it's nighttime." Not one to go out quietly, it would start to snore "woowoowoowoo!" and then eventually shut off.

We had Japanese students who were obsessed with Furbies for all of about one year... then they disappeared altogether. Much like a bad dream, except with even more painful memories. I was a kid then, so I think I survived by just waiting till the batteries died (or the student moved out with it; I forget which came first). Strangely, I think one of them continued to work even after the juice was gone O-O
How would I deal with them, or any other "cute, furry plush toy that says adorable phrases" that won't shut up now? Probably use them as tee-ball practice, since its hard to throw those sons-of-bitches correctly. Screw the environment; these things, and anything like them, need to die with a vengeance - ESPECIALLY those creepy "tickle-me-Elmo" things (which the Nostalgia Critic lovingly satires in one of his more recent reviews).

Who *didn't* have a furby? Mine scared the shit out of me, I remember putting it in the closet and having it randomly start talking at night... *shudder*
Actually, mine is sitting next to me. I yanked out all the circuits and converted it into a jump drive. It's not very easy to carry, but who cares, it's a Furby jumpdrive. I killed it because it scared the shit out of my cats.
