Mouse toy in ‘paedo’ song ban
Published: 07 Dec 2009
A TOY mouse supposed to sing "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells" has been recalled amid claims it warbles "paedophile, paedophile".
The 4ins festive novelty, with Santa hat and a cheesy grin, has left parents stunned.
Toy ... mix-up
One mum said: "When I squeezed its tummy I couldn't believe my ears. I recognised the tune, but the words were certainly not traditional. Luckily my children are too young to understand."
The £2.99 Chinese-made novelty is sold in smaller shops and on market stalls. Distributors Humatt, of Ferndown, Dorset, said the man providing the voice could not pronounce certain sounds. His singing was then speeded up to make it higher-pitched - distorting the result further.
A spokesman insisted: "We've slowed the song down and it definitely says Jingle Bells. But we have recalled them now just in case anybody might take offence."

Oh lawdy....
Let’s buy them all up and send them to Kevin Jennings.
If this was in the US, it would be a job for our “safe schools” Pedo Czar, Kevin Jennings. He would make sure that every elementary school was issued plenty of these toys for the children.
Especially if they were “anatomically correct.”

This post makes no sense, just things that popped in my head while reading it.
That was my thought too.
Just when you had no idea what to buy Kevin Jennings for Fistmas....
What a great gag gift!
And such an attractive toy, too. Too bad it had to be recalled. /s
Inspired, no doubt, by Michael Jackson...
WHAT?
Towards the end he seems to sing something about a pencil, too. How nice.
So Michael Jackson really didn’t die, he’s just a toy designer in China now.
Kill it.. with FIRE!
