Mom Upset Over Doll’s Use of Profanity

[proud2BlibKansan]

HOUSTON, Tex. — A Houston mom is upset over a set of dolls she bought at Toys “R” Us. Toys “R” Us calls them The You and Me Interactive triplet dolls.

Rosie Pickens says she didn’t realize the dolls spewed curse words. She thought they only giggled, babbled and cooed.

“She is a potty mouth!” Pickens exclaimed. “She actually says the ‘B’ word! I just never paid attention to what the dolls say, they coo, they cry they say mama and dada, and this particular day I hear “you crazy b****.” And I turned and I’m like, wow.”

Toys “R” Us released a written statement.

“Please be assured that we would not carry a doll that uttered profanity of any kind. We are aware that some customers believe they are hearing something else spoken by one of the dolls in the set, when, in fact, the doll is uttering baby babble.”

5. Call me crazy, but I don't hear "the crazy" party when I listen to the video.

The *B* word does seem to be said, though.

“Please be assured that we would not carry a doll that uttered profanity of any kind. We are aware that some customers believe they are hearing something else spoken by one of the dolls in the set, when, in fact, the doll is uttering baby babble.”

I think this excuse could also be used for any old video files we're seeing in campaign ads indicating what candidates who flip flop said years ago.
