Yeah, kinda. You plug a USB port into its back and tell it your kid's name, favorite color, food and animal and load it up with a few songs. Then it sings you the ransom note song:

"I like - ....a dog!... - please! It's my fav-o-rite a-ni-malll... I like it to be - PURPLE! - please! It's my favorite color! I like it to eat - ....beans.... - it's my favorite food... and I'll call it ....bob?... just like youuuuuuuuu!"

I of course investigated its hackability and discovered that it has so pathetically little memory that there's no point.
