Here is the article from CNN dated 1999 January 13th:
http://cnn.com/US/9901/13/nsa.furby.ban.01/
At the time Furby was very popular, and people always like to bring small toys
to work to put in their cubicle just for fun. There was also a common
misunderstanding of the Furby's speech feature -- the Furby's packaging makes
it sound like the Furby actually learns English from its owner.
