Wash your mouse out!
16.12.2009
A little toy mouse is in trouble. Parents have complained that the £2.99 mouse is not singing "Jingle Bells", but "paedophile".
One mother told The Sun: "When I squeezed its tummy, I couldn't believe my ears. I recognized the tune, but the words were certainly not traditional. Luckily, my children are too young to understand."
The toy was manufactured in China for the British company Humatt. A spokesman said: "We've slowed the song down, and it definitely says 'Jingle Bells'. But we have recalled them now, just in case anybody might take offence."
I listened to it, and I don't think I would have heard "paedophile" if I hadn't read it first. It does sound more like "paedophile" than "Jingle Bells", though.
Call me cheesy, but I prefer the Dean Martin version!
