Is Islam the light for DS Baby Pals?

Last fall, controversy about Fisher-Price's Little Mommy Cuddle 'n Coo doll rocked the local news circuit, when the doll was discovered to utter some kind of gibberish that sounded kind of like "Islam is the Light" if you were listening hard enough for things to be outraged about.

The odd sound sample has been found once again by a concerned parent, this time in Crave's Nintendo DS game Baby Pals, previously known only for being kind of creepy-looking. In a fairly hilarious coincidence, Rachel Jones of Indiana found the offending utterance first in the doll, then later in a copy of Baby Pals she had purchased for her daughter. Baby Pals came out in October 2007, a year before the row about the doll.

"Not just my daughters' toys, but we have a son too," Jones told Terre Haute's WTHI News 10. "Now I feel like I need to listen to all of his little toys to make sure they're not saying it." Check out the news footage after the break, and watch as the virtual baby intones the phrase in question over and over again while being bathed. Of course, the ability of fake babies to exert absolute influence on real children through nonsensical endorsements of religion is well-known. Everybody knows that.

If you listen to what is supposedly the original MP3 (provided by Fisher-Price, link goes straight to .mp3), it sounds much more like nonsense and less like some random attempt at indoctrination. We've contacted Crave to try to find out where it got the sample and hopefully solve this quirky mystery.

Rumor was proven to be false with the doll, it isn't true here either.

Stupid people looking for something to squawk about are stupid.

I will admit that it does kind sound like it is saying "Islam is the light." But, considering everything else in the game is "baby gibberish", I think its just more gibberish, that just sounds like what they think.

It was hilarious when Fox5 news originally reported on the story about the doll by reporting it was saying hate speech, and evil things. Although if it was real, it shouldn't be there, but I can't see how that qualifies as hate speech. They just had to add in more anti-islamic crap that often comes from the mainstream media.

I had an Incredible Hulk action figure that said 'I Shot JFK'. Makes you think.

I hope idiots like that "Concerned Parent" Drop dead.
