This is from a NBC news story.

Didn't they have another doll like this last year that it was saying one thing and to some it sounded like another?

OK I did a quick search on the item and found it on a different site.

For some reason I find it difficult to care any less than I would have if I had not heard the doll sing.

[KF7AYS]

Cool. A non-PC doll for kids. :)

I listened to it and it was too distorted to determine whether it said "F***king Fun" Or "PUNKIN PIE".

So I think it is just alot of Adults who hear what they want to hear so they can complain about it.

Besides, I ain't listenning to any old "PUNKIN" doll anyway!

[KC0W]

Holy Cow is the complainant ever a great looking women!!!

That stunning face, those teeth, and the PERFECT English she speaks............What a highly educated cutie she is.

Unless a hacker changed the code in the chip(s) just before the final manufacturing process, how could anyone in their right mind think that a manufacturer would include a naughty word in a doll's repertoire? Dumb!

[AD5MB]

but does it say satanic thing backwards?

[NZ2N]

She's hearing things. We have a nut like this on my wife's side of the family too, hidden meanings in everything. Why is this even on the news? It's just stupid.

[KA8RAW]

It is just like those trick 3D images. I listened to that several times, I can hear it both ways, if I am not paying too much attention it does sound like F%^#ng, however, when I listen real close, I can force myself to hear pumpkin pie. My thoughts are that it could be easily misinterpreted, so I think we should all sue the manufacturer, because, I am now swearing like a truck driver, and I can't get that stupid song out of my head!

[K8MHZ]

I couldn't understand any of it. I am fairly certain that the little girl had a hard time understanding it as well and inserted a word she learned somewhere that sounded like what the doll was saying.

So, where did she learn the word?

[GM3ZMA]

To my British ears, the doll appears to use the F word.
However, the sound quality of the recording I heard was very poor and distorted.

On a similar theme, there was a song a couple of years ago which I heard on the radio and thought WHAT!
The song appeared to say "lets move before they raise the f...ing rent".
After listening a bit more intently a couple of times the words actually were: "lets move before they raise the parking rent".

So, I guess it is quite easy to mis-hear things if:
The sound is distorted
You are not familiar with the expression.

For years I thought 'Feliz Navidad' was 'Police I've Been Shot'.

A friend of mine had a band way back when and they were practicing 'Ridin' the Storm Out' by REO in his basement when mother type comes downstairs and has a fit. She thought the lyrics were 'Right in Your Sore Mouth'. No kidding for either one. It happens quite a bit. It's just that only a chosen few achieve notoriety.

The mis-hearing or misinterpretation of song lyrics has an official name: Mondegreen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen).

And now back to your regularly-scheduled thread...

A possible swearing kids doll? Horrors! What's the world coming to? Forego that for a wholesome toy...like the Harry Potter vibrating broom! (http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1927306_1927313_1927329,00.html)
