More Swearing Toy Fun

From The Metro:

The cuddly puppy, which was bought by mum Leigh McPherson from Asda to help her daughter Mia learn to speak, sings songs when you squeeze its paw. However, Ms McPherson was left stunned when the creature turned the air blue with what sounded like barrack-room language.

It sang: ‘If you’re happy and you know it f*** with me.’

The 20-year-old single mum from Banbury, Oxfordshire, told The Sun: 'I couldn't believe it. I played it back three or four times. There is no mistaking what Violet is saying. The biggest problem I’ve got now is my friends, who all want to play with Violet because they think it’s hilarious.’

The manufacturer has claimed that the hound is actually saying ‘bark’ but has issued the toy with a new recording, just in case.

PS, the last time these toys were on sale was in May 2010.

Anyone remember the early talking baby dolls that contained the recording in analog pressed in vinyl as a tiny record that spun and pushed out the sound vibration mechanically?

Off subject, but it brings back memories.

At least it's not a cow.

C'mon, it *is* saying 'bark'.

Anon 1, yes I do.

JH, the cow version would be singing "If you're happy and you know it I will trample you".

Anon 2, the second one sounds like 'bark' but the first and third time sound very much like 'fuck'.
