Turned into a monster for the rest of his life!
A local TV station put this piece of “investigative journalism” on the news, last night.
Remember how you first learned the musical scale?
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do? That’s what the 8 keys say – and sing in a human sort of voice – on this Fisher-Price Laugh-and-Learn Piano. The reporter was interviewing a couple of young mothers who are filing a complaint with the New Mexico State Attorney General alleging that Fisher-Price is teaching their kids obscenities.
That’s right. If you play the musical notes D-E-F-E, the replica human voice sings the notes as re-mi-fa-mi. Oh, the horror! It’s too much to bear.
It would be laughable if it wasn’t for [a] the ignorance of the offended mothers and [b] the pompous self-righteousness of the TV “journalist”.
The scale notation? It’s called solfege. Been around for a millenium.
I found this clip over at YouTube. Put up last December. Think this is where they got the idea for a lawsuit?
#24: Shouldn’t “Moron” be “Moran”?
😀
#32 “but tax payers should provide them with all the free condoms they can use”
Yet another reason to want universal health insurance for Americans….
You are all so insensitive! If it wasn’t for this toy you know that this child would never have heard a cuss word! If it weren’t for toy pianos no one would cuss!
I wonder if these are the same parents who send their children to those Christian camps and have them turn into xenophobic, ethnocentric, homophobic, selfrighteous pricks just because they can’t bear the fact that their little babies will eventually find out what an orgasm is.
In fact, if Fisher–Price made a piano that espoused the most upsetting, tasteless, crass, racist and foul language, I’d buy one in a heart beat. Just so I can hear my three–year old say, “s•ck my g•d dam•ed f•cking c•ck you m•therf•cking c•cks•cking piece of s•it.”
Perhaps America needs to initiate a very large war, a world war…
World War – Reloaded!
Benefits:
There would be no idle time for all this silliness in America Yea
American manufacturing resumes its former glory Yea!!
Afterwards America enjoys the new 50’s Golden Era Yea!!!
So where to start? Anywhere but the Middle East – they are not like the Germans & Japanese were. I suggest to start that idiot in North Korea – send him lots of arms and somehow get him to attack China (the North Korean army is almost a large as China’s).
America comes to China’s aid but not before China gets all the shit happening to them so forget about the Chinese export market – that’s gone. Yea
America out of the shit heap smelling like roses like after WW2 and enjoys a new 1950’s golden age era. Yea!
China will get pissed of so then after the America’s new golden era starts to wan get ready for a re-make of the cold war!! Yea!!!
Sounds like a plan – World War – Reloaded!: stops all this foolishness about toys mind controlling children, intelligent design taught in public schools, law suits over stupid shit and so on!
😉
Cheers
You know he will probably grow up to be President.
This is no different than Jesus on toast, wall, driveway oil patch, toilet bowl dump stain and so on…
Or blame the Chinese toy manufacturers LOL!
Cheers
In a Native American village, there was a Chief who named all the newborn children.
A young brave, was very anxious to know how the chief named the children. so, the chief told him.
“I look around, and what I see, I consider a sign from the spirits. If I see an eagle flying I name the child Flying Eagle. If I see rain gently falling, I name the child Rain Gently Falling.”
“I see.” the young brave said.
The chief looked at the young brave and asked “So, Two Dogs FAing, what’s your interest?”
Well fuck me.. Who’da thunk it
