Elf on the Shelf is watching...

Dr. Laura Pinto, a digital technology professor at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa, Canada, has also warned that Elf on the Shelf could make children more open to surveillance... “Although the Elf on the Shelf has received positive media attention and has been embraced by millions of parents and teachers, it nevertheless represents something disturbing and raises an important question,” Pinto wrote. “When parents and teachers bring the Elf on the Shelf into homes and classrooms, are they preparing a generation of children to accept, not question, increasingly intrusive (albeit whimsically packaged) modes of surveillance?”

Only a college professor could concoct something that laughably retarded and then get it published as sober-faced science.
