Toys In The Hood
By Wyatt Earp | November 20, 2011
A few years ago, there was a national uproar about a talking Teletubbies doll. The doll, Po, appeared to be saying “faggot, faggot” in a sweet little voice. We have the doll at home, and I can tell you that it certainly sounds like that’s what it’s saying.
Today, there is a new toy outrage, this time at the You And Me Interactive Triplets. Allegedly, one of the triplets says, “Hey, crazy bitch.”
The “You & Me Interactive Triplets,” which are being sold at Toys R Us stores in Orlando, are causing the uproar because one of the dolls can be heard saying what appears to be the phrase, “Hey, crazy bitch.”
“Oh, absolutely. She’s calling them a crazy bitch,” Kathy Wetter said.
The dolls are recommended for children ages 2 and older, and there is no warning of explicit language on the packaging. Toys R Us said it has received a number of complaints about the doll but added that the doll is just making baby talk.
Toys R Us said it has no plans to take the doll off its shelves, but told Local 6 News that it would allow customers to return the toy with a receipt, if they find it offensive.
Oh, I am so getting these for Julia’s birthday!

Will they ship to the White House or Capital Hill?

There’s a retired lieutenant (CPD) that deserves this one.
Why? Because everyone in the unit said it.

I also should have said there was more than one, but believe me she was the ULTIMATE.

Sounds like Michelle Obama has given toymakers new guidelines, too!

I’m waiting for the “Rat Bastard” one.

One wonders if they are providing language warnings…LOL

Sounds like the doll – or perhaps one of its programmers – is a Buck Cherry fan…
(Might be just a tad NSFW…

Marvin – Express one to Nancy Pelosi.
LDIV – I had a sergeant like that in patrol. She has since (naturally) been promoted to lieutenant.
Proof – Nicely done.
Jon – Or, “Hey, jerkass!”
Old NFO – I wonder if they say that in Spanish or French?
Wes S. – That’s awesome.
