Yep. Disney thinks your precious little girl is a dirty slut and has programmed talking "little mermaid" dolls to call them that right to their faces. So what are you going to do about it? I wouldn't take that from them. You parents out there should totally go ahead and kick Disney's ass.

Oppenheim said it could actually be good for business.

"Sometimes, this type of controversy makes a toy all the more desirable," Oppenheim told the Mercury News. "The more quirky toys tend to be more attractive to adult collectors."

Seems Oppenheim knows her stuff.

didn't sound like, "You're a slut" to me.
More like someone was trying to summon up Chthulu.

Now how am I going to get to sleep?


No doubt the mother will be sueing the makers for "Mental and emotional anguish" over her daughter hearing garbled nonsense a 1/10th as bad as anything she hears in the schoolyard every day.

Seems they've finally got their target audience down. Little girls growing up to worship Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff - "you're a slut."

Herrera said she bought similar Ariel dolls to sell on eBay, but scrapped her plans after the incident.



Yeah, right.

If so it left out "anorexic"

If the doll was right, it would have said to the girl, "Your mum's an idiot".

Whatever...watched the video...can't make out what the freakish toy says over and over. I think someone is just broke and wants to sue.

It sounds like TV static, I can't see how anyone can possibly make out a word in that video.

okay, that toy would annoy the crap out of me.........

and I didn't hear it say slut either.

I think that since you can make it make such an annoying sound though, it's banned from my house.

"I was in absolute shock," said Herrera, "especially after my daughter repeated it."

hahaha I wonder if the kid said "I'm a slut!" or "You're a slut!"

so... they're putting hidden "Easter Eggs" in the toys now... :p

after all, the phrase only came out when the buttons where pushed rapidly...

Guess Ariel doesn't like the quick and fast jabbing motions. :p

Maybe she does and was really saying "I'm a slut".

From the article I gather that it apparently says "you're a slut" if you press the button too quickly to cycle through the sounds without hearing each one fully?

This should help boost my Disney stock-everyone run out and buy them up!

I listened to the clip.

I think the mother has just got a hang-up, or maybe the kid did say it, but sensed trouble and lied about where she heard the term.

But it reminds me of the person who got on a Black & White 2 forum and claimed that it had child porn in it. He/she said that if you put a little boy down next to an adult it would run a BJ graphic. Which was total nonsense.

Don't ask how I and everyone else who read that thread *know* so certainly that it's nonsense ;)

And if you hold the doll upside down when you press the button, it says "Paul is dead."

The "Mulan" doll says "Lick my nipple". bastards.

sounds more like "gary's slut"

Disney: Masters of subliminal messages and/or having psycho parents freak out over the power of suggestion and their own repressed sexual desires.

That is hilarious. Some people are just plain idiots. Damn that thing is annoying.

I'm more concerned about how Disney found out that my daughter is a slut. Damned myspace!

I tried watching the video, Jeez they should've hosted it on YouTube, at least it wouldn't be buffering every 5 freakin seconds!

Many people have suggested the the girl/her mum/Ariel doll is in fact a slut. I take it we're all familiar with the magic eight-ball? Well, why not an adolescent's advice doll?

"Get a life. You have no friends."

"Face it, dying your hair black and then grassing on people who call you emo is more than a little stupid."

As to the phrase in question... I appreciate the brevity, but it's too general to cause maximum offence. Hows about:

"Get some trousers, girl! That reach below your knees! Face it, you're such a slut you probably didn't even remember his name!"

I don't have a daughter. So really, Disney is calling everyone else's daughter a slut.

Which is just what I needed to hear, actually!

Finally, a toy that speaks to the girls of today. They start those sluts pretty young. Just look around next time you're in public. Grade school kids in makeup and low tops. That's just wrong...

All I hear is "You're a spic!" which is worse, all things considered.
