Just in time for Xmas: The cursing baby doll

One of these dolls belongs on Santa's naughty list.

Parents are outraged by a potty-mouthed doll on Toys R Us shelves.

One of the You & Me Interactive Triplets is supposed to babble and coo when you squeeze her, but she seems to drop the “b” word and say “Hey crazy b****!”

Toys R Us, which is selling the dolls for $39.99, says it’s just a bunch of gibberish and plans to continue selling the dolls.

Many parents disagree. They think this doll intended for kids as young as 2-years-old is inappropriate for any child and should be pulled from store shelves immediately.

“I did hear that. I wouldn’t want that for my child. Definitely not,” Denise Altschule told FOX23 in Tulsa, Okla.

4. People usually hear what they want to
Kind of like hearing "I buried Paul" by spinning your beatle albulms in reverse. However, I do not see this one causing any kind of revolution, although it was funny to listen to.

6. Actually, "I buried Paul" is quite clearly heard at the very end of
Strawberry Fields Forever. No need to spin the record in reverse to hear it.

12. But on CD you can clearly hear Lennon say
Cranberry Sauce. For years I always heard I Bury Paul, but since CD's it clearly is Cranberry Sauce as Lennon claimed in the 60's.

18. On my CD (Beatles 1967-70)
it's quite clear that they're saying "I buried Paul"-- sounds nothing at all like "cranberry sauce"

21. LSD myths?
It's no myth that the Beatles were experimenting with drugs for a while. Paul admitted that "Got To Get You Into My Life" was about marijuana (not a girl), and John admitted that "She Said, She Said" was based on an incident of doing drugs with some girl, who suddenly announced "I know what it's like to be dead". And of course, the cartoon Yellow Submarine was a non-stop psychadelic trip, including the part with "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".

23. "myths" re "Lucy in the..." meaning LSD, or "I killed Paul" on the album, etc. I found it
interesting, others may not. Either way, in the overall scheme of things, it doesn't matter a whole lot, does it.

I thought it was an interesting site.

5. Those dolls are "Muslins".
Do you want your child to have a potty mouth Muslin doll?

22. When I worked in a bookstore,
we had a 'sound' book that sounded like something out of the Exorcist when a certain button was pushed.
Parents were up in arms over the possessed tome.
No need to try to expain that the sound technology was flawed. It was much better to ascribe the problems to Beelezebub.
