Meet Baby Cuddle and Coo. To most of us, just yet another annoying doll that makes unrealistic sounds and drives parents crazy.
But to one community of Midwesterners, this doll is a terrorist.
According to Tulsa, Oklahoma’s KJRH, Baby Cuddle and Coo utters, among other things, “Islam is the light.” (Incidentally, you can hear the track right here; I can clearly hear the word “night” or “light” but otherwise have no idea what these nuts are talking about).
Okay. I get it. There’s not a whole lot going on in Tulsa; one bigoted stay-at-home mom hears “Islam is the light” and reports it to the news. They pick up on it, and for some wacky reason, decide it’s newsworthy. Fine.
But there is no excuse for the comments on the original news story. One crazy Texan says:
We have this doll and we live near Lubbock, TX where the doll was purchased!! CLEAR AS DAY this doll says “Islam is the light”!! There is NO mistaking it!!
Another Palin-esque comment reads:
what the doll is “scripted” to say, on what “Fisher Price” presented is NOT what is sold on the market or what we as channel 2 viewers heard from the dolls bought by tulsa area childrens mothers and played on our channel 2 news…fisher price used what would make them look good instead of visiting actual consumers who are making the complaint….what a farce…to be covered up as they did….i intend to boycott any products by this company ,parent companies, and distributers…as many who communicate via internet as parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents. shame on you fisher price for using your own “cover our behinds ” excuse for a defence, instead of investigating the offending dolls we heard as viewers.by trying to make a liar out of children for your own company gain.
But my personal favorite?
Wake up America! When you put that muslim idiot in the white house this is all we will ever hear. You people are allowing this devil in and he will take over. Once a muslim always a muslim. women get ready for your vails and I hope all the men like wearing turbins and robes. America is going to hell in a hand basket. Don’t let Obama in the white house…
Yeah. So let’s suppose for a moment that the doll is in fact saying “Islam is the light.” Clearly, that must mean that Fisher Price is secretly owned by terrorists, aligned with Obama, and intent on world domination. Clearly.
Or, it could mean that some dude had a little too much fun one day at the Fisher Price factory.
Either way, can someone please send me a Baby Cuddle and Coo?

This is one more fringe benefit of an Obama presidency; during Clinton's turn in the white house, the right looked increasingly deranged in the eyes of American moderates as they freaked out. Remember the militia movements? Clinton fucked up the good run with an unfortunate blowjob from a Jappy girl, sure, but Obama will do better. The Obama = Antichrist folks will drive off moderate conservatives and we might see the beginnings of a permanent Democratic majority…

According to the article I linked to in the first paragraph, Fisher Price says that although there’s a word which may sound like “light” or “night,” the only scripted word for the doll is “mama.”

Posted by xoggoth | October 10, 2008, 1:15 pmI listened, and it’s gibberish. You can hear the “ight” sound, but no full words and certainly no sentences.
