Parents Outraged at Toys that Say F*ck You
Read Time:2 Minute, 38 Second
A three-year-old boy’s parents were horrified when some of his first words were expletives they say he learned from a Peppa Pig toy.
Amari Black had been given the Peppa Pig Fun And Learn tablet as a present and parents Garfield and Marcha had hoped it would help their son improve his speech.
But then they heard the boy utter ‘f*** you’, and realised he had picked it up from the malfunctioning £20 toy.
Painter and decorator Mr Black, 48, noticed that instead of saying ‘find the odd one out’, the toy says ‘f**k you? odd one out’.
‘I was cooking in the kitchen when I heard him saying ‘f*** you,’ he said.
‘He can say “mum”, “dad”, “please”, “thank you”, and sadly “f**k you”.
I know it’s wrong but I can’t stop laughing. This story inspired me to look for others of a similar ilk and guess what? I did.
Absolutely marvellous stuff!!! – I’m so sorry. I have the mind of a mischievous child I know but if you don’t laugh at any of this then either A) you are boring or B) I’m even dafter than I thought I was 😉
This video is, frankly, superb in my opinion – and you know all about my opinion don’t you? 😉
A man who bought a talking toy remote control for his toddler grandson was outraged when it blurted out ‘f***s’ instead of the number six.
Joe McManus, 61, paid £4.50 for the Little Tikes First Remote Control at an Asda branch in Birkby, West Yorkshire, for 18-month-old Vinnie Lydall who he said was ‘mad about gadgets’.
He returned it to store staff – who said they agreed it sounded rude and said they would clear all other models from the shelves.
Why? I’d buy loads of them and hand them out to my local junior school.. 😉
A shocked mother was furious after a talking toy she bought her nine-year-old daughter taught her to say: ‘f*** you.’
Louise Wilkinson, 42, bought two of the £15 popular Furby toys as a treat for her daughter Monet and her grandchildren Tia, four, and Shannon, three.
But she was stunned when one of the little bundles of fluff blurted out the words: ‘f*** you’ after pressing the button on its back.
And now she says her young daughter will not stop repeating the obscenities while walking around the house in Llanfyllin, Powys in Wales.
I bought my daughter a Furby when she was little and I tried for absolutely bloody hours to get the damn thing to swear but would it??? If I could find the bloody thing I think I’d still ask for my money back as it’s clearly faulty as it won’t say anything remotely rude.
Actually, come to think about it, when my daughter cleared her room a bit it was thrown out in a black bin bag. I remember it suddenly ‘woke up’ and started saying “It’s dark I’m frightened”.
‘That’ll teach you not to bloody swear then!’ I thought.
I feel a wee bit guilty now. Poor little thing 😉

wow such a bad toy
Wait a minute. It “taught” the nine year to say fuck you. The child got to age nine without ever hearing the word fuck. Does she live with her grandmother in seclusion on a mountain top somewhere. I sort of doubt that one. I will admit though, if they have ever been within hearing range of Mike Scott they have heard the word fuck. That is his favorite word.
I promise there are a lot more places to hear fuck you than some messed up toy.
That’s hysterical! And individual parent reactions have me giggling, too. I consider getting one for my kids, but that ship has long sailed; my kids are 18 and 15, and they managed to develop their blue language just fine without help from a toy :-). (Of course, my husband and I are both less than careful with our language, either…
Language is one of my “issues.” I cuss way too much….it’s part of the cop culture that even after retirement I haven’t been able to shed.
