You can blame the product tie-ins on the author of “Alice In Wonderland.”

12 Absurd Facts About ‘Alice in Wonderland’
11. ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND WAS A PIONEER OF BRAND LICENSING.
Carroll was a savvy marketer of his story and characters. Thats perhaps the main reason the story is so well known today, even for those who havent actually read the book. Hes one of the first authors working with manufacturers to bring out related products, Vega says. He was all about the tie-ins. He designed a postage stamp case decorated with images of Alice and allowed her image to adorn cookie tins and other products. For readers eager to learn more about the origins of the book, he produced a facsimile of the original manuscript, a rare move for an author of his day. Later, he created a shorter version of the book for even younger readers. His 19th century business savvy foretold franchise-obsessed companies like Disney decades before their founding.

Reminiscent of the flap about the Teletubby that allegedly repeated “faggot, faggot” about 15 years ago.

I had a client call me this week, mad as hell, over this. He got the toy and told me it was swearing and he wanted to sue.

Sort of related; I was kidding my 9 year old about how she used to love Barney and that she should watch it again. I expected the typical "ugh, that's for babies!" response but instead she surprised me. She said "Barney's not on TV anymore. He got arrested for saying the f-word on TV". Wait... whaaaaat?
Apparently this is considered "established fact" amongst the kids at her school.

That voice box was produced for after the 2012 presidential election but was accidentally put in the wrong toy.

You can blame the product tie-ins on the author of Alice In Wonderland.I've known of Alice for as long as I can remember. Never read the book though. My wife got it on the Kindle to read to the kids. She didn't read it to them. Lewis Carroll must have been on an acid trip. That was one weird book, and nothing at all like most of the movies/tv shows produced about it.

Even when I was a kid, I never liked Disney characters and I thought "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was a stupid movie.
Well, when I was a youngster I loved my "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" model car. Took it in the bathtub and activated the raft feature.

Many years ago at the Food Bank I founded, we were given 30,000 children's talking books about a family of Teddy Bears that had been deemed unsalable that had been donated by a store chain for distribution as Christmas gifts for the needy children who's families came to us for food.
The books seemed nice and I could not figure out why they were unsalable until I turned to the last of twelve pages. . . and when you put the slider down to the location for that page and touched the button to hear what the book spoke for that page it said "HA, HA, HA, F*CK YOU!" quite clearly. A random check showed that very single one of them did the same thing.
I sent them to a land fill.
