Talking Fisher-Price doll accused of promoting Islam
By Matthew Moore, Telegraph

A talking Fisher-Price doll that sounds like it is saying "Islam is the Light" has been described as inappropriate by parents.

The Fisher-Price Little Mommy Cuddle 'n Coo is meant to make realistic baby sounds and occasionally cry out for its "mama".

But some parents claim that one of its noises sounds just like "Islam is the Light", and have complained to Mattel, which owns Fisher-Price.

Some shops in the US have removed the doll from shelves after complaints from customers, according to reports. It is available in Britain for £19.99.

A spokesman for Fisher-Price insisted that the doll was not pushing pro-Islamic messages, adding that the sound some parents were hearing was caused by an accidental distortion of the doll's soundtrack.

"The Little Mommy Cuddle 'n Coo dolls feature realistic baby sounds including cooing, giggling, and baby babble with no real sentence structure," a spokesman said.

"The only scripted word the doll says is 'mama'. There is a sound that may resemble something close to the word 'night', 'right', or 'light'.

"Because the original soundtrack is compressed into a file that can be played through an inexpensive toy speaker, actual sounds may be imprecise or distorted."

Earlier, Mattel released a statement saying that "the power of suggestion" was the reason why parents were mis-hearing the doll.

"It's not what you would expect out of a sweet little doll," said Martina Hollermann of Ramsey, Minnesota, who bought the toy for her children. "Everyone was kind of creeped out."

Such is the furor and rampant paranoia (and Islamophobia), that there are already conspiracies being spead in the US:

UK parents say Islam promoting talking Fisher-Price doll is inappropriate

Parents in Britain have described an Islam-promoting talking Fisher-Price doll as inappropriate. The Fisher-Price Little Mommy Cuddle ”n Coo is meant to make realistic baby sounds and occasionally cry out for its “mama”.

But some parents claim that one of its noises sounds just like “Islam is the Light”, and have complained to Mattel, which owns Fisher-Price.

Some shops in the US have removed the doll from shelves after complaints from customers, according to reports. It is available in Britain for 19.99 pounds.

The Telegraph quoted a spokesman for Fisher-Price as insisting that the doll was not pushing pro-Islamic messages, adding that the sound some parents were hearing was caused by an accidental distortion of the doll’’s soundtrack.

Distributors Fisher-Price and Mattel deny claims by US parents that a Muslim worker has tampered with the original voice box.

The Sun quoted a Fisher-Price spokesman as saying: The sound is compressed into an inexpensive speaker, so sounds may be imprecise. (ANI)


And where's the evidence that a Muslim has tampered with the voicebox.

Chin up, mate! Life's too short.

A toys giving out a religious message.
Ofcourse its suggestive hearing or tampering.
Coz any other explanation is too much for some people to believe.

Back in BLACK

But babies dont need to be told that Islam is the Light because at that age they are innocent and know the truth.

My friend bought his niece a little toy 'La-la' (of Teletubbies fame).

We didn't know it was a talking doll, we thought it was just a cuddly toy.

Imagine our surprise when it started singing...in Chinese!

That's what you get for shopping at Poundland.

Don't just do something! Stand there.

Exactly.

Lol, when i read the title I thought 'talking doll?'... is it possessed?

Lol

When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it is not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

I work for the largest Department Store Chain in the WORLD...and it's true the Doll does say the phrase as plainly as one could read it!
They are being pulled from the shelves and recalled.
