Meh. You hear what you want to hear. That’s the way humans work.
So, why doesn’t somebody just track down the software team that developed the program and find the born again f&cktard that placed that language in the program?
End Times, Good Times, Not Soon Enough.
I doubt Muslims had anything to do with this.
Bobbo,
Because the f&cktard just did a copy paste. I’d be willing to bet there are lots and lots of other toys with the same recording.
But I do agree with the others. It’s a face in the clouds not a hidden message. I make it my personal mission to be paranoid and hate the government but seriously and even I’m not paranoid to see a ‘hidden message’ in that one.
I Wonder what you guys would think if it said Jeebus was the light? I really could give a shit, but knowing how rabid some of you atheists are, I wonder.
#3–Breetai, cuing off TVAddict==I thought the same thing so I listen several times trying to figure out *any* other word usage.
I couldn’t do it. Can you?
So what we have is a “general” concern that specifically doesn’t apply here.
Not so fanciful to think someone did it as a goof.
So===I will take you understand your error unless you, TV, or anyone else comes up with what it could, might be, otherwise?
#4–McCullough===huh? I take pride in being anti-theist which is even better than being an atheist but “god” has nothing to do with pre-recorded messages.
Doesn’t show much respect for atheists, I must say.
#6. Take heart bobbo…it wasn’t aimed at you. Lets just suppose this was an embedded message by some religious nut. How would the left leaning atheist respond to that. With tolerance, or no, it’s really not a trick question.
#4, ignorant;
I could really care less. It’s a farking video game. It’s well within the makers’ rights to put whatever message/agenda/”sound file that get’s crazy woman worked up” they want into it.
Now if it’s the government, that’s when I have a problem.
May the blessed light of stupidity be on you all. G-bus.
#7—but,but, but McCullough===”I” am a left leaning better than atheist anti-theist.
I would think the message would have inflamed the anti-Muslims here at DU of which I have often posted in supposed harmony.
But you think it would “really” inflame atheists? Gosh, I hope my lesser endowed brethren would not take the bait but rather given our religious non-belief, we would see the hand of MAN not gawd in this. But I don’t wish to run interference.
Please remove my posts, and lets see what kind of stupid shows up?
Oh goody. Now she can sue.
#10. “Please remove my posts, and lets see what kind of stupid shows up?”
Unh-unh, why spoil the fun.
Doesn’t sound like that to me. All I hear is ” the light.” But even that could be different if I heard it in person. Actually, it almost sounds like “Jesus is the light.”
Quick! Go kill all the Christians! I hear there’s a good Coliseum fight going on this Sunday. Maybe we can round them up and throw them to the lions there.
Maybe she’ll split the repug ticket in 2012 when she runs as a third party candidate. Or cause a split in 2010 when she goes to on the party meetings then. One can only hope.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the ONLY true magical invisible sky being, and EVERYONE knows that! DUH! Zeus, Thor, Mohammed, Jesus, Isis, Vishnu, and the Great Raven are OBVIOUSLY just made up silly children’s stories and myths. The FSM is the only real god and anyone who says different or promotes their ‘fake’ god first will boil in paste sauce for all time (or until slightly more than Al dente, whichever comes first).
I hear “the light” but the rest is a stretch. There’s probably some stock catalog of .wav files somewhere that includes baby sounds and people making these toys are just grabbing them.
I don’t believe I am imagining things here. I clearly, clearly heard “Islam is the light” even with the poor audio quality. Much easier to hear than in the doll, but the resemblance is just too close to be coincidence.
I have a thought.
I wonder if this is some sort of inside joke from whomever is programming these things, something like “all your base are belong to us”.
Just meant to be funny. A geek inside joke and nothing more.
That concludes the audio portion of our Rorschach test. Please see the receptionist to schedule an appointment when we can discuss the results.
#17. You may have something there. I was going to completely dismiss this except for the fact that this sounds exactly like the one we posted a few months ago. But, yeah maybe a public domain .wav file? Plausible.
That or the Muslims ARE saying “All your children are belong to us.” Then you have to wonder what the Asians are putting inside our computers. Gnaw on that awhile
Thanks, McCullough. I was going along just fine till “Gnaw on that awhile”!
Muslims are no better than christians, they will use any tactic to sneak their religion into society.
I hadn’t thought of it. Of course the software firms go with the lowest bidder on things like that. If you have an organizational agenda you can make sure you are the lowest bidder to have dolls say “Imagine there’s no heaven.” I’m sure the Humanists wish they had thought of that first!
So what exactly does “Islam is the light” mean anyway?
If it said “Allah Akbar” or “Death to American Infidels” then I could understand the concern.
What if it said “Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart” – would that be considered some kind of scary hidden message?
Although, after watching the video clip repeatedly, I do find the urge to kill rising, rising,…
This company is begging to get their butts sued. They sold under their name so they are at fault. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to outsource.
So anyone think it a bit more than a coincidence that the SAME mother buying something for the SAME daughter ‘discovered’ BOTH of these hidden messages??
This explains why my 3 year old duct taped all her bottles around her waist and wanted a ride to the US embassy.
#26. That was truly funny.
Probably just another stupid story to make Muslims look bad.
This reminds me of the story about the Jewish girl who kept finding Nazi signs around her dorm and when she complained to the police they put a camera in her place without telling her, only to discover that she was the one drawing them.
I.e. Somebody loves to victimize Jews and make other faiths look bad.
Did you hear about how Oprah is a bad person because she promoted two lying Jews who wrote a book, but that the two Jews are not bad people themselves? Doesn’t make sense does it? Ask Gawker Media.
If anyone doubts this, look up the story of the VCR cover of The Little Mermaid. Not saying the company was doing this on purpose, I’m saying someone snuck it in, just like the Little Mermaid cover. Or, someone was lazy and used the same voice track.
Not hard to make Muslims look bad, alas. All one has to do is accuse a Christian or other non-Muslim of defaming the Prophet. ‘Hilarity’ (defined as angry demonstrations, assaults, church burnings, beheadings, etc.) often ensues.
With that being said, the baby doll message isn’t clear enough. The other game’s audio is better but not by much. I don’t see the rationale for why someone would do so except as a prank.
