Ariel the Potty Mouth
Who knew that Rob spent his days programming toys for Mattel?
It’s supposed to say sweet things to little girls like, “You’re a wonderful friend,” but push its button the wrong way and the Little Mermaid Shimmering Lights Ariel doll may say something else — “You’re a slut,” according to a California mother whose allegation came to light in a newspaper report.
Stephanie Oppenheim, who publishes the independent toy guide Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, told the Mercury News that she put Arial to the test. After pushing the buttons on another Shimmering Lights Ariel doll, she said she heard the naughty word but had to listen really closely to get an earful.
Ok 99% of mothers would tell their 3 year old that Ariel said “you’re sweet.” I think it takes a dirty mind to hear this.
