Conan O’Brien is road testing Wikibear again. The Wikipedia-powered teddy makes his highly anticipated debut in toy stores next month, and has been a sensation ever since its premier at the 2014 New York Toy Fair. The combination of Teddy Ruxpin and Siri is connected to Wikipedia and other websites via Bluetooth, the better to answer your questions my dear. Much like Siri, he grows to know your interests and preferences. That’s not all! If you’re not feeling inquisitive, the pint sized replacement for human companionship can start conversations, chat and even tell jokes.
This particular Wikibear may have been owned by someone slightly negative, or a sociopath….Perhaps he was bear in residence at a prison for the criminally insane? Conan finds out that even the most innocent question leads to a gruesome response. In just one example, a seemingly innocent question leads to a series of associations, ending with the bear’s frank admiration for the Zodiac Killer – of all people, and a threat to Conan, who’d do well to keep the little fur-ball away from possible weapons!
