Christmas toy mouse 'sings paedophile'

[Perdita]

A toy mouse dressed in a Santa hat has been withdrawn from sale after it was claimed that it sings the words "paedophile, paedophile".

According to The Sun, the £2.99 toy is meant to sing 'Jingle Bells' but the recording had become garbled after it was speeded up to make it high-pitched.

One mother 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."

A spokesman for distributors Humatt, of Ferndown, Dorset, explained: "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."

A number of the toy mice have been put up for sale on eBay, being described as "Rude Singing Christmas Mouse".

people are stupid these days. If a child doesnt know about peadophiles then why should they think that is what the mouse is saying. Just cos some parents assume that doesnt make it right.
