- Humptydank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+182Of course her toaster called her a whore last week and the lawnmower tried to hump her leg, but this was the last straw.
- nmc1980, on 10/12/2007, -3/+131maybe she is a slut
- Makubex, on 10/12/2007, -3/+105Perhaps if her daughter learned how to keep her legs closed the doll would have no reason to call her out on it. Mattel did nothing wrong, they are just putting the little tramp in her place.
- PatrickFisher, on 10/12/2007, -2/+103So, then... My brain wanted me to hear that I'm a slut?
- ElusiveByte, on 10/12/2007, -3/+89This site has the audio:

It's a convincing illusion, but the "slut" sound is actually the "sp" of "sparkle" cut short, and sounds more like "spuh". If you listen to the audio and think it's "spuh" you will hear that. If you listen to the audio and think "slut", you will here that. Given poor input, your brain is very good at making you hear what you expect to hear. - schroduggity, on 10/12/2007, -39/+106real audio is ***** lame. what kind of ignorant ***** would knowingly post content in their format. same goes for quicktime.
- cyanid3, on 10/12/2007, -3/+65I wish we could mark the mom as lame :P
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+63I'm with the possessed doll on this: she's obviously a slut.
- rderveloy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+61She needs to get her mind out of the gutter.
- SoundJudgment, on 10/12/2007, -7/+61Nothing is more 'slutty' than my having to install RealPlayer just to hear a doll talk. No thanks to InsideBayArea.com. I suggest they get an .MP3 or .WMA encoder.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+55All I can hear in that audio sample is this:
"Sa-pa twapapa, sa-pa twapapa..."
Regardless of the ***** quality, the people who hear this nonsense are the same ones who see Jesus's face in their dirty toilet bowls. - monkeyrun, on 10/12/2007, -12/+64"same goes for quicktime."
You do realize the Mpeg-4 standard on Quicktime. right? - knaps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+47So somebody called you a slut 10 months ago?
- Alphateam, on 10/12/2007, -3/+38Are you kidding me??
That sounds about as much like "Your a slut" as much as playing Ozzy Osborne backwards sounds like "All hail Satan". - raabco, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36h3ndrix, i made u a cookie
but i eeted it.
=( - martalli, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33"...but push its button the wrong way and..."
Now, what does that mean? - jesirose, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32wtf? It just sounds like a bunch of high pitched gibberish to me.. I don't even hear a single word.
- thetanbark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30In other news, the 4-year old daughter doesn't know what "slut" means, and if Mom didn't make a big deal out of it she wouldn't know now. And if she DID know beforehand, Mom has some parenting to do. Regardless...
BURN HER AT THE STAKE! - Crass22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23The demonic talking Potty Time with Elmo book was way better. http://www.local6.com/news/5784303/detail.html
"Who wants to die!?" - Denver80203, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25'Yeah, because 3 year old girls are naturally promiscuous. Gimme a break'
Why not? You're naturally naive enough to take that seriously. - ConkerBFD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22This was a manufacturing mistake.
The "slut" talkbox was supposed to go to the Bratz dolls. - SmokeChiba, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24Agreed,
The same effect can seen (heard), in Disney's Aladdin. The scene is when Aladdin climbs up to see Jasmine, and the Genie can be faintly heard in the background saying "kiddies take off your clothes!". However, that effect comes from the mix of the humming background noises, and the slurred speech of the Genie saying ""Nice kitty, take off and go, go on." to Raja (the tiger). - raabco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21http://www.wowfunny.com/joke.shtml?/html/fun_pages/1009.txt
*ahem*
URL says it all - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24Maybe the doll is just especially perceptive.
- Vulch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Reminds me of the time Teddy Ruxpin told me "Go ***** Yourself."
- quarsaw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Marked as inaccurate,
It is in fact the mother who is a slut. - MelvinSchlubman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16This just in: the lyrics from a popular song from "Little Mermaid" (I don't know its title) include:
"Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me" - afx1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Maybe the doll's right.
- ZeroMP, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17"Hurry up and buy me!"
"Let's be best friends and take down the capitalist American Government!" - lazyman0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15The doll calls them like it sees them.
- jmknx01, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16>Herrera said she bought similar Ariel dolls to sell on eBay,
>but scrapped her plans after the incident.
Then she's a fool. She could make a killing selling "You're a slut" Ariel dolls on eBay. Duh, lady! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21This Ariel should marry Chucky...
- bud38, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Damn it, I couldn't see the dolphins.. Aww ***** it.... anyone want to have sex?
- chimaera2005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I love how a writer for Disney's own ABC News couldn't decide if the character's name was spelled "Arial" or "Ariel." Great editing!
- godofhonk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14When I played it, it said:
"You're a ... BUFFERING ..." - hhOwArdrOarKk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Even the doll would turn me down.
- CheckMarshall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13What the mom wanted to hear was "Cha Ching"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19God people are stupid.
This mom should be smacked. No, the doll is not calling your daughter a slut, you ***** whore. - LogicBomB, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Nothing wrong with quicktime but may the devil burn real player to the ground.
- ChronicColonic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Ariel calls it like she sees it...get your little "Lady is a Tramp" off the streets.
- dbug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Soccer moms need attention too.
- mt2k3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11My 3 year old has this doll...
it doesn't even REMOTELY say slut...
she loves the doll and she constantly pushes the button multiple times to get to the song too and I've never heard "slut" come out of it...
however, a long while back my nephew had a bunch of talking Teletubbies...and one of them sounded like it said "I did it, I killed the kid"
my mother actually called the company and played it into the phone for them,
they were dumbfounded enough that they said they had to reasearch it. They called back 10 minutes later as a conference and one of the "toy developers" present to explain what it actually DID say...
which was "again, again again again" instead of "i did it, i killed the kid"
Good PR, crappy toys lol - MaxSteele, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11When the mother pushes the button in the Ariel doll fast she hears:
"You're a media whore!" - Jarasmen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Dolls don't lie.
- ahcomeon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10My brain told me that I heard: "uh up yours, uh sparkles, uh up yours", but what can I say it was a crappy RA file.
- mystagogue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8"let's bake cookies for the boys"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -15/+23RealMedia? Are you ***** joking? RealMedia format blows ass.
- amoirae, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I remember the time my Care Bear said: "Eat me."
It was delicious. - amoirae, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9She does donkey shows for charity.
- zizzybaloobah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I don't know why you're getting modded down on this. We would laugh til we peed our pants making the Farmer See-N-Say say all kinds of surreal things.
Ditto for the talking G.I. Joe (you pulled his dog tag) -- it was fun til somebody through him in the pool and then he sounded like he'd had a stroke. -
