The 'Tell Me Your Secrets' Bear Spills Children's Inner Thoughts
Joanne Lam — May 8, 2010 — Life-Stages
The spying 'Tell Me Your Secrets' Bear is one crazy invention if it were real. This seemingly cuddly childhood toy will say different hypnotic and affectionate phrases to get the unknowing child to tell it all his secrets, logging them through a built-in recording system and automatically send it to his parents' e-mail.
"Friends don't hide secrets," is one of the many phrases the 'Tell Me Your Secrets' Bear uses to convince the child of spilling his thoughts. Personally, the entire concept seems more than a little wacky. Good thing it was just an April Fool's joke!
