What are the odds that two toys made by different companies bought by the same woman would both contain the allegedly Jihadist message, “Islam is the light”?
If you remember in October, Rachel Jones was all over the news complaining that her 4-year-old daughter’s Fisher Price’s Cuddle and Coo doll said just that. When she played the doll for the news, parents were outraged, and even formed an ‘anti Jihadist’ group named MAMA, or Moms Ask Mattel for Accountability. Mattel denied the existence of any of their dolls saying such a thing.
Now, Jones is complaining that her 8-year-old daughter came to her while she was playing her Nintendo DS game ‘Baby Pals’, she heard the same words again. ‘Baby Pals’ is a rated E for everyone game in which you care for a virtual baby. When the baby gets its virtual bath, it seems to be saying, “Islam is the Light”.
How is this so? It’s not known if the company, Crave Entertainment, who developed ‘Baby Pals’ has any ties with any radical Islamic groups, but it’s not likely that even if they were that they would be using the exact same sound bite.
In a statement from Crave Entertainment sent to GamePolitics, it seems that the developer used the same licensed sound file used in Fisher-Price’s Cuddle and Coo doll, They also go on to say that in over 200 hours of testing the product, no one recognized any English words or phrases. The baby used to record the sound bite was a 5-month-old baby babbling, and in no way could have uttered a grammatically correct phase.
The fact that two toys with the same sound bite ended up in the same mother’s home, and that she heard them to be, “Islam is the light,” may never be completely explained. In the meantime, Rachel Jones is upset and annoyed, asking if she has to listen to every toy she gives her children? Well yes, Rachel, every mother should be paying attention to what their children’s toys are saying. In the meantime, people all over the world will have to make their own opinion about the sound bite, and whether it is sending a message, or just the random babbling of a baby speaking into a microphone.
Wasn’t this a South Park episode?
Can’t be as bad as the Tickle-Me Elmo doll that supposedly spouted obscenities...
Nah, Twilightzone. Telly Savalas. Daughter had a doll that said "Mommy", "Daddy", and "I'm gonna kill you."
Yes. They were Japanese with “bery small penis.”
“Nah, Twilightzone. Telly Savalas.”
LOL! My name is Talking Tina, and I’m going to kill you!
I believe that Islam is willing to do whatever it takes to overtake the world, including subliminal messages...we are on a sublevel war on terror that most people just don’t get!
Correct. It's willing to do anything.
Judging from the responses to threads like this, we're not even willing to acknowledge the nature of this animal... let alone lift a finger to stop it. It's easier to make fun of a mother who tries to call attention to this insanity.

It seems that several people heard that "Islam is the light" from that doll. It surely does sound as if that is what is being "cooed".
Exactly.
