I Hate You: Vancouver Family Finds Surprising Message In Baby's Toy
Blanche Skelton was feeding her baby when she heard something besides the soothing sound of ocean waves coming from a toy attached to the crib.

It was saying, "I hate you."

After asking her husband, her parents-in-law, and everyone else in the home east of Hazel Dell, they were convinced. The toy was definitely, albeit quietly, saying "I hate you."

Blanche's 6-month-old son, Alex, got the toy as a Christmas present. It makes soothing sounds and music for baby to fall asleep to, with an illuminated picture of a cartoon-style aquarium on the front.

But in between the white noise of ocean waves, a tiny babyish voice pipes up with childhood angst.
Made in China, the toy was sold by Wal-Mart and carries the Kid Connection brand, which is a store brand.

Blanche and her husband, Steve, said they went to the Wal-Mart store Thursday and listened to two other aquarium toys like theirs. Sure enough, there was that creepy voice.
The couple talked to a manager, who scoffed until another employee blurted out that he heard it, too.


Saw this very weird story at a website posted by a Duer earlier. Creepy!

1. Where do I get one?
Wal-Mart? Are they still in stock? Where the hell are my car keys?

4. That's creepy. Makes you wonder what ELSE they might be putting in their
imports.

Nasty plastics that make youi sick (pacifiers).

Lead in "child safe nontoxic" crayons (They were actuall called Nontoxic, but were full of lead).

I remember news stories about these.



What else are they putting in their "products"

Recycled nuclear waste in cooking utensils. DU?

Does anybody even CHECK these things?


I have long feared that the importing of these products en masse by people who hate us wnd work for pennies a day (and they hate their own government too) might result in either intentiuonal or negligent mass poisoning of our population. Bush et al have wickedly profitable trade deals with China with the MFN trading status etc.

I have worried about this for a long time. Ever since Nixon shook hands with Mao and GHWBush was the Republican Charman then Ambassador to China in the early 1970's.


I do not buy these Chines products except when I am really broke and it is something I really need and can't aford elsewhere (especially dollar store stuff). NO McDonald's toys either anymore for the kiddies (well, maybe once in a blue moon)

5. Remember the toy containing a message from a prisoner?
Seems like I remember a story a couple years ago about a family finding a plea for rescue from a Chinese convict inside their model plane kit. The Chinese don't have qualms about putting prisoners to work as slave labor.
