This is just creepy!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Creepy, yes. But on the other hand...do subliminal messages spoken in English work on an infant who does not speak or comprehend the language?

Babies understand a lot more than most people think.

I'd get rid of it.

There was another article about the same thing in Jan. 2003. This article at WND had a link to it.

Since WorldNetDaily's initial report, a half-dozen other parents across the country – from Washington state and California to Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Maryland – have come forward to say they have the Wal-Mart toy and are horrified to find it spewing hate at their babies.

WND, for the stories that REALLY matter.

Hey I had a jack-in-the-box that played the first three bars of the "Horst Wessel Leid" and I turned out OK...

[RandallFlagg]

WOW! Creepy is right!

It's my oldest's 3rd Borthday today and I'll keep an eye out for these things for both him and my baby boy.

If We find one that murmers, "Vote Democrat," I'll let y'all know!

Except every now and then, my arm does this silly "Dr. Strangelove" thing; whipping in the air....

Mein Furher! I can post!

[RandallFlagg]

YEAH!!! THAT'S IT!!!!

ROTFLMAO!!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The toy is fully endorsed by this gentleman, who said he had one as an infant "and it had no effect on me whatsoever".

I saw that when I was about 8, and it creeped me out for years.

They may not work on a baby but having the words "I hate you" whispered at an infant is just wrong. Wal-Mart should come clean on this and release supplier information.

Wal-Mart used microchip to track customers

"As far as subliminal messages are concerned, that wouldn't be the jurisdiction of the commission," explained CPSC spokesperson Kim Dulic, "unless it was thought that the message could somehow cause physical injury or harm to the child."

Naaaah, words don't hurt.

Subliminal messages, in any language, do not work period. This article is a joke.

I'll bet Bubba has already bought one for Hillary's Christmas present.
