They look like a hipper, perhaps street-smart version of Barbie, and that's why Bratz dolls have become so popular with girls, but a Country Walk family found that the Bratz doll they bought might be a little too street-smart for their own good.
Kristina Arce received a Bratz doll named Jade from Santa Claus, but when the doll started singing, her language sounded more than just jaded. The little girl brought it to the attention of her dad, telling him the doll was saying lots of bad words.
"I actually heard at the end some bad words, and I was freaking out," said her father Luis Arce. "I was very upset about it."
According to the father of the six-year-old girl, the talking doll was uttering expletives that start with 'f' and 'b'. The father double-checked by playing the doll to others in the house and they confirmed what he had heard. CBS4's Natalia Zea tried it out herself and the similarities to these obscenities were clear enough that we opted to bleep out what the doll was saying.
Arce is waiting for tomorrow to return the doll and get an explanation from the store or company.
CBS4 News tried contacting the toy company on Christmas day, but could not get through to anyone.
