FISHER PRICE BABY DOLL SAYS ISLAM IS THE LIGHT
YOU TUBE - FOX 29

Posted on 12/26/2008 2:24:59 PM PST by nbhunt

Now they are attacking our children's minds. This $20.00 baby doll says ISLAM IS THE LIGHT on the 3rd time it talks. This is absolutely pathetic. Shame on Fisher Price and Mattel. What the h*ll were they thinking. 3 different videos at this link

This is an outrage! I was born a snakehandler and to paraphrase Rev. Wright, “Goddamn” it, I’m gonna die a snakehandler!

Reported by the company that it's just a compressed file of baby sounds. It's being played through a cheap speaker. The original soundtrack (publicly released) has no identifiable spoken words.

We've heard such things before ~ most often it's just a matter of hearing something you want to hear, or think you might hear, or to get a refund ~ variety of motives are possible, but it's the listener not the doll.

We had an old 45RPM record that would jump a track and say "That's What's Happening Chicken" ~ otherwise it was a song about "My Little Red Wagon". We played that thing until the groves wore down and then it started saying "hssss, hssss, hssss, hssss, hummmmm, hssss".

It says "Islam is the light" in the same way you can read those words into this.

If someone said the baby said "I slam light beers", you would hear that. If someone said the baby said "I am slight", you would hear that. Our minds look for patterns even when none exist.

No wanting to hear anything, it’s pretty clear to listen to.

Exactly. I can’t hear those words in this unless I force myself to make the words out. Just hearing this it sounds like a bunch of garbled sounds.

Heard it on Beck. The doll is just babbling baby talk. This is paranoid insanity.

That’s not really anything to get worried about...UNLESS...my little red wagon did not have those 4 words anywhere in the soundtrac!

Keep us posted if the hissing turns into something else.

Go to this link — they have the entire sequence.

The third time the hand is waved in front of the doll, it’s very clearly udible, the rest of the time the doll is indeed only making baby sounds and “momma”. Go to the link and watch and listen to the video.

“it’s very clearly udible”

But is the audio clearly discernible?

Did you mean:

I was reserving judgement, but it doesn’t take any imagination to discern the words.

As I said, I liked that they go through the entire sequence, rather than just the particular part, that way you can hear it for yourself.

I've heard the audio from this doll.

My interpretation was: "islam is the biggest pos cult to walk the face of the planet, and muhammed was a pedophile"

I guess you only hear what you want to hear.

I bought this doll for my baby for Christmas. It does sound like ‘Islam is the light’ on the youtube video, but I have yet to hear our baby doll say it.

There is NO mistaking what that doll says. There was probably a jihadist working on that doll. I wonder if all of them made at that time said that or just a certain batch.

Whether the doll is saying “Islam is the Light” or not, I do not know but there are definitely words in the third passage - not just babble but words... makes ME wonder for sure.

Dang, I thought it was one of Kramer’s guys getting attacked by spermicide.

I agree with you. Multiple cases of the same planted sound sequence and there is no doubt on the later models of its religious message. Manufacturer refuses to do anything about it.

I heard it and re-heard it..there is no doubt in my mind the doll says “islam is the light”. One would absolutely NOT want to hear it in order to not hear it. It is disgusting.

Ok genius. We’re all paranoid. Except I heard this on our local news weeks ago. They replayed it more than ten times. It clearly, and I MEAN CLEARLY says exactly what they say it does. And, I am NOT paranoid. Nor were the people they played it for on the street. So you can be insane. The rest of us will believe exactly what we hear.

If you’re correct, a Fisher Price employee trained a two year old child to say “Islam is the light.” Do you think this project was approved by higher ups at Fisher Price, or was it a lone rogue employee?

Did you click on the video? Do you think the soundtrack was altered?

We are dealing with a high quality recording device, a medium quality signal transfer device, and a cheap knockoff recording device that then plays back through an even cheaper sound diode.

You can hear what you wish to hear.

Now, to answer your question, I didn't even have to think all that hard to identify four opportunities for the signal to be "changed".

I do hope you don't believe that the fidelity from a sound diode in a toy is going to be as good as that of the original recording.

Nobody said it was a recording. It was a programmed audio file which had been compressed, then is decompressed upon execution of the audio routines. It’s rather obvious this was not happenstance. There might be plausible deniability with the manufacturer, or at least that is the approach they appear to be taking. The audio I’ve heard over news broadcasts of a doll being reported as having the same function, without cognizance of the larger reporting on the Internet, had obviously been programmed to render that message. The only real issue appears to be why the manufacturer refuses to recall the model for QC purposes and maintain goodwill with their patronage.
