Twitter for toddlers: Twoddler, the new way to ensure your child is socially inept

I know what you're thinking: Shit! It's almost Christmas and I haven't got anything for the teething, terrible two year-old yet! -- well, ladies and gentlemen, mom and pops, your search is finally over because Twoddler has entered the scene. It lets toddlers tweet.

But my toddler can't frickin' type! Don't worry! It comes with a bunch of predefined tweets that are fired off to your socialite child's Twitter account. Twoddler takes the form of a hacked-and-modded Fisher Price Activity Center and monitors your child's actions -- so if he or she plays with the plastic-and-annoyingly-clacky telephone dial, a tweet would be sent saying 'I like playing with the annoying plastic telephone'. You get the idea.

Don't worry, you can shut your mouth now. It's just a prototype from a Belgian university. We can only hope that it never sees mass-production. But who knows, one day we might see phrases like this on Twitter:

@grandpa_Joe I'm dribbling that mashed apple pulp all down my front, just like you! Btw, here's me taking a wee: http://bit.ly/tubgirl -- aren't you proud?

There's a video of it in action, after the break.
