'Cursing' Baby Doll Upsets Parents (VIDEO)

A talking baby doll available at Toys "R" Us is upsetting some parents, who claim it has a potty mouth.

Some customers are calling for the "You & Me Interactive Play & Giggle Triplet Dolls" to be pulled from shelves because they say one of the dolls can be heard uttering, "You crazy bitch."

"I did hear that. I wouldn't want that for my child. Definitely not," Denise Altschule told FOX23 in Tulsa, Okla.

Another mother told WJXT-TV in Jacksonville, Fla., that she feared her son could pick up the curse word from the doll. "I don't want him repeating what's on there," she said.

The dolls, which are intended for children 2 and up, are being sold exclusively at Toys "R" Us stores. A Toys "R" spokeswoman told FOX23 that the retail store has not received widespread complaints and said the offending phrase is just baby talk.

Watch the video and decide for yourself.

So do the parents watch Big Bang Theory in front of the kids? It is just one of many shows during the day and evening that use the big, bad, B word. Why does everyone act appalled? If you don't stop the words on prime time, don't act appalled at hearing the same words in public.

Besides, the doll doesn't say that word anyway. Lenny Bruce would be amused.
