LOL WHUT.

There comes a certain point in some lives where an individual needs to step back, take a moment for self-reflection and assessment, and ask "...am I part of the problem here ?"

For instance, if you think that not one, but two of your children's toys are speaking to you, now would be a pretty good time for self-reflection.


If not, say, a vacation.

Somewhere a game hacking geek is laughing his ass off.

So wait... The article isn't very specific but it certainly does infer that the other toy she speaks of said similar or the same things. Perhaps hearing and psych tests are in order here?

...There are so many things worrisome with that. Not the least of which is that reporter's shoddy writing style.

HA! Snopes did something on this a while back - well, the doll at least. And this "news" report came out last week? That's some well-researched news there and not fear mongering AT ALL.

I had not heard about this, but after seeing mrv's comment, I found the Snopes article:

http://www.snopes.com/business/alliance/dolltalk.asp

It says exactly what I was thinking -- that these are just random "baby talk" sounds that people are interpreting into words.

It does make me wonder, though, if those parents who are so outraged by this supposed phrase would be equally outraged if a doll cooed something that sounded like "Jesus loves you". And what their reaction would be if non-Christians demanded that the dolls be pulled from the stores as a result. I have a feeling they'd be singing a very different tune.

And here was Penny Arcade's take on the matter.
