Woman says doll has pro-Islam message
Huebner, 50, said a couple at her church told her the Fisher-Price Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle and Coo Doll had the phrase “Islam is the light” as part of its recorded cooing noises. Then she heard it for herself.

“She has three voice cycles, and moms shopping would go, ‘Oh how precious!’ ” Huebner said. “I would buy her right then until I got her home and my baby kicked her legs and then it says, ‘Islam is the light.’”

Huebner, who said she is a Christian, said the message was sneaky and she was offended it would play on a toy that was not advertised to say that. She went to the Target store in Lake Jackson on Tuesday and bought the doll, then set up in the store’s parking lot to alert shoppers.

1. These are the people who see pictures of Jesus in burnt toast
If you look for something hard enough, you can convince yourself it's there.

3. She needs to see a psychiatrist and let him know she is hearing voices
For fuck sakes...if she doesn't like the doll--take it back to Walmart and get your damned money back.

4. Someone should call that Matel number and find out what the doll is actually saying.
Also . . . these dolls will be sold-out soon.

10. The Oogedy-Boogedy Wing
strikes again. Man, this was old news a while back, but the Oogedy-Boogedies still haven't gotten the memo.

It's one thing that they have their heads up their backsides. It's quite another that they admire the view.

11. My 2 yo granddaughter has this doll...
Edited on Fri Nov-21-08 11:06 AM by WePurrsevere
my oldest daughter (her mom) came downstairs (they live upstairs ATM) laughing like crazy about two months ago and told me I had to hear what the doll was saying.

Umm.. okay... even after hearing it a couple of times I couldn't guess what was so funny that the doll was saying.. it sounded like baby babble to me (I hadn't heard the story before). Finally she had to tell me... now of course my brain "hears" it easily (the granddaughter had played with it for a while and no one ever noticed either).

For those who have not heard the doll... :)

Personally I think it's over reactive paranoia born out of the imagination of a few and rooted in prejudice.

12. These are the same kind of mental midgets
that ran around claiming some doll was telling kids to "Kill Mommy" when the doll was, in fact, speaking Spanish & saying "Quiero Mami." :eyes:
