Offended Mother Says Fisher-Price Piano Says "F--- Me, Rape Me."
There are lots of moms out there who have filthy, filthy minds. They buy toys that make noise for their children, then become convinced that there are secret offensive messages in the toys.
Here are two of them:
From KRQE:
The toy is designed for toddlers like Santa Fe's Unique Gonzales, or at least that's what her godmother thought.Is she serious? You know us, we're not ones to mock people's complaints, however silly they may be, but "f-- me, rape me?" From a piano? KRQE played the offending combination of notes in a video clip on their site, sort of. The reporter warns viewers several times that something offensive is coming and that they should hit the mute button. Then the station plays a tone over "Fa" as if it were "Fu--". As far as we could tell from the times they didn't censor the note, Fa just sounded like "Fa.""I bought it for my goddaughter for her birthday, her first birthday," Lanette Rodriguez said.
But when Unique played the voice scale her own way, she found a unique message. The problem is how the digital voice singing the scale sounds with the combination Fa-Mi-Re-Mi.
"It's very, very inappropriate," Rodriguez said. "It's very disturbing. It's completely unbelievable, insane, upsetting."
Unique's mother says she got her first clue to the key combination from her 1 year old.
"She's like fa, fa, fa,' and I was wondering why is she saying that?" Alexis Chacon said. "It was the toy.
"Then she says, ra, ra, ra.' She's too small to learn those kinds of words. It's supposed to be Do-Re-Mi, and it's F-me-rape me."
The offended mothers want the toy pulled from the market. Um. Fa that.

what the fa?
They named the child Unique? Poor thing...
KP
I think my husband and I would have laughed ourselves sick over this.
You named your kid Unique? Well at least it's....oh nevermind.
Perhaps Ms. Gonzalez And Ms. Rodriguez have not mastered the English language themselves.
That woman is fa'd up.
I guess when you sit at home and have nothing better to do then make up crazy stories about "evil toys." At least the piano doesn't have lead in it...isn't that enough for her?!
LOL my kid had a leapfrog phonics caterpillar, when you press "f" it says "fuh" and when you press "k" it says "kuh", and if you press "f" then "k" it says "that tickles!" hilarious that they thought of that! yay leapfrog!
Other possible phrase combinations include "fund me, raid me," "fawn me, rail me," and "fudge me, rain me," a tribute to Tay Zonday.
Do, a deer, a female deer
Re, a forced for-ni-ca-tion
Mi, a name I call my self
Fa, some more for-ni-ca-tion
We should get one of those with an Elvis graphic on it...
A Fa-King piano!
She clearly missed the "Parental Warning / Explicit Content" sticker on that Fisher-Price piano.
Of the market?
Fa- no!
This is the reason that the Starbucks lady in the previous story went to the accident report ... people are just begging to sue and companies need to CYA. the side effect is bad service..
Oh I love it.. according to the clip, they went to an attorney.
I wonder how much money they think little Unique's damaged psyche is worth.
So if you play it just a certain way, and have a very active imagination, you can pretend to hear whatever you want.
Someone should shoot that TV reporter for being such a tard and running the story at all.
Also, I liked "She's only one, she isn't smart enough to say "fa" or "ra". Seriously? OK, so now we know that the kid is a Tard like her Godmother. Too stupid to say "Da-Da" or "Ma-Ma" too I suppose.
so... what was the exact name or model number of this piano? Not that I want one for myself or anything...
@wring:
I tried getting my kids toys to curse, too. Those corporate scum are always one step ahead of me!!1
Wasn't Unique one of Eddie Murphy's kids in Beverly Hills Cop II when he had to deliver the explosive shells or something? ([www.moviequotes.com])
Guess the name is not that Unique.
Exactly the sort of thing that should be put on Youtube rather than be "proved" by the local TV hacks.
And I hope when she goes to school, she's not the only "Unique" in her class.
Well, she's right about one thing. It's certainly insane.
My 6 year old niece ran around the house going "fuh" "fuh" "fuh" "Is there a bad-word that begins with fuh?"
Then she said,
"I know what it is! It's the F word!"
We were all hysterical.
Maybe she learned it from her piano.
MI SO angry at these FAing REtards. FA MI TITIs.
@wring
i know exactly what toy your talking about. except a store i worked for had them before they changed the model. they actually used to say the fuh and kuh...not that tickles. if you hit the d the i and the c....you can guess what that came out as. these were the early models. i was still in high school...so you can imagine how funny we found this as we would sit and play with them.shortly after that the censored ones came out. so i can imagine that the toy does sound these out as shes describing them. but you gotta be trying to get them to do it. id have to say they probably were playing with it one day...found this out and said...lets make this public. maybe we can sue them.
These are the same people who vote.
Damnit! The fah king news clip bleeps out the possibly offensive note.
Jeebus. They told everyone to mute their sound AND they bleeped out the word 'fa?' Well at least it was bleeped out on the WMP version I downloaded. Now how am I supposed to decide for myself whether it really sounds like 'fuck' or if those women are just insane?
the name says mexican
the words say chinese
queue ancient chain email about chinese sayings...
@Kos - Yes, Monique and Unique.
@RECTILINEAR - Glad you enjoyed. ^_^
Yah, the mom is looney tunes, yah the lawyer is bottom fishing...but the reporter with the Laugh n Learn on his desk thinking this is the next jump to 60 Minutes is priceless!
fa me, ra me -- lady you listen to too much rap!
I guess it's not terribly surprising that a parent who would name her child "Unique" thinks the evil toy piano is trying to corrupt her child's mind. These people need to find their own planet to live on where the rest of the evil world can't get them. Either that or they need to stop being so narcissistic and get it through their heads that the world is not only not out to get them or their children but the world couldn't even care less about them or their children (and why would it? it's obvious that they do not want to be taken seriously as people). I feel so terrible for these kids!
@topgun: Yes, racism is HILARIOUS!! I also bet they make a mean taco and have tricked-out low riders.
youtube fisher price piano and you can listen to the piano in all of its "rage". When do opinions of a single person start dictating changes in everyones life? If she is that upset about her daughter saying "fa" why does she keep repeating it in front of her? "Fa" is the start to the word father, you know that guy she will never meet because her mom scared him off.
The kid can't come up with offensive words on his own...please. I've got three munchkins and the stuff they came up with in the 2-6 age bracket would blow your mind. My favorite: My youngest (3 at the time) announcing, wide eyed and smilling, to the waiter that "Nana is an a**hole". Cracked us all up, including the waiter.
Sometimes, a "fa" is just a "fa"... This lady needs a life.
Damn Chinese are corrupting the minds of our youth?
FA THAT!
So is Mom also going to boycott any kind of music education for her daughter? I must have sang that combination of notes a million times and never even had it occur to me that it could be construed as something inappropriate.
@wring:
You beat me to it! Now the question is, why are we, as parents, TRYING to make our kids' toys swear! LOL
/time out for you!
I had no idea solfege could be so dirty.
Four semesters of ear training in college, and I never realized I was being sexually harassed. Had I known, maybe I could've had the requirement dropped.
Somebody needs to repeatedly hit that mother over the head with the toy she's complaining about. I think with enough blows to her skull, she wouldn't hear the words she thinks she's hearing and there wouldn't be a problem anymore.
We own that piano, my 9 month old plays with it every day. This lady is on crack.
This is awesome.
should people tell her that if you play the notes in a certian sequence it will play an offensive song that has bad words in it?
This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. "She was running around the house going "fah fah fah". And?? In the clip with the mother she doesn't even seem to believe this herself. I'm sure she is just upset the child wasn't saying la la lawsuit.
@wring: OMG I have that one, it just laughs if you spell out FUCK, CUNT or what have you. Thats how you get around retarded parents...
Good God. Bored, obsessive mothers are the worst. Endlessly entertaining with their vapidity, yes, but small, deprived children everywhere are paying for it.
