  • A TOY mouse supposed to sing “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells” has been recalled amid claims it warbles “paedophile, paedophile”.

    The 4ins festive novelty, with Santa hat and a cheesy grin, has left parents stunned.

    One mum said: “When I squeezed its tummy I couldn’t believe my ears. I recognised the tune, but the words were certainly not traditional. Luckily my children are too young to understand.”

    The £2.99 Chinese-made novelty is sold in smaller shops and on market stalls. Distributors Humatt, of Ferndown, Dorset, said the man providing the voice could not pronounce certain sounds. His singing was then speeded up to make it higher-pitched – distorting the result further.
    A spokesman insisted: “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.”

    its just someone singing Jingle Bells in Chinglish on a poor quality sound recording chip.

    The Chinese wouldn’t sabotage a business like that, if a disgruntled employee had that much beef with the owner he and his mates would stand up to the owner and probably smash the place up or torch it.

    sadly there isn’t any bright side from it as it just means both English and Chinese people have lost fuckloads of money in a recession – although I can think of far better uses of natural resources than making a tacky toy mouse.

    why not make a more realistic mouse/rat instead? it could be sold both as a Western and Chinese toy (especially for kids born in the year of the Rat) and I’m sure every kid in the world would want a realistic toy rodent to frighten their parents/teachers/nanny/cat with.

    A few years ago I did actually but a fairly realistic foam rubber rat on a string from an old sailor in a Reading shopping centre (he was selling a variety of “nautical” things to raise money for fishermen what had got drowned in the North Sea) – it was going to be a toy for the cat but he actually ran away from it :laugh_at:

    Hahaha, awesome.

    And GL, you have the amazing ability to look massively deep into anything 😀

    nah, I just understand fluent Chinglish :laugh_at: (its increasingly becoming the international language of technology). I still want a realistic toy rodent though…
