Foul-mouthed little Bratz:

Pissed off parents claim the doll swears:

Of course the company swears it's not true:

Come to think of it, wasn't there a similar outrage a few years ago over Tinky Winky dolls that supposedly said
"Eat my butt"? Anyone remember that?

I seen that on the news a couple nights ago, pretty funny.  Reminds me of the teletubby fiasco a few years back when one of them kept saying "N*gger"

Look at those dolls.  They're little whores.  Parents are upset that the little whores curse?  And do these parents really think that a curse word has scarred their children for life?  So much that they need to sue?

Anyone remember the talking word processor for children that cursed?  It had a list (in the programming) of curse words that kids couldn't type into it.  But a bug in the program caused the word processor to say every curse word in the blacklist file.

Awesome point, Arbie. How can parents be concerned with the language of the little dolls when the model they set for their daughters is a whore that subscribes to black media culture? I think showing kids that pathetically rebellious drug-abusing uneducated promiscuous women are the type to live up to is so incredibly much worse for "scarring" a child that I wouldn't notice the dolls swearing if it was even supposed to be that way.

I want to get a audio bit of the doll singing uncensored. One other point, why the hell would they name a product "Bratz"!? I want to strangle the guy that invented those.

Yeah those things are like slut trainers for 10-year-olds.
