Where's My Bottle, B$@%#!

Huffington Post ran this short and sweet article, and I had to share.

A talking baby doll available at Toys "R" Us is upsetting some parents, who claim it has a potty mouth.

Some customers are calling for the "You & Me Interactive Play & Giggle Triplet Dolls" to be pulled from shelves because they say one of the dolls can be heard uttering, "You crazy bitch."

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

Another mother told WJXT-TV in Jacksonville, Fla., that she feared her son could pick up the curse word from the doll. "I don't want him repeating what's on there," she said.

The dolls, which are intended for children 2 and up, are being sold exclusively at Toys "R" Us stores. A Toys "R" spokeswoman told FOX23 that the retail store has not received widespread complaints and said the offending phrase is just baby talk.

Watch the video and decide for yourself.

It took some work.  But yeah right, like kids would learn the B word from a doll, but NOT from every mainstream television show, traffic rant, etc.   It's one of those words that is common enough a talk about "don't say this word" is mandatory, and why it's a bad word.  The doll thing is amusing to me, but then so is acting like snowflake's ears will not be exposed sooner or later.
