It's two completely different sounds.

However when I hear the toy on TV (Or even in the store) I have no idea WHAT it is saying! It could be saying just about anything from a cute saying, to a demand for certian sexual favors from a hooker.]]>Dec 31st 2006 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/Dec 31st 2006 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/
But most of the time you are paying for the name, and not just for the product. I have a set of 7.1 creative labs speakers for my computer that blow away nearly everything else I have ever heard.]]>Dec 31st 2006 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/1. Do you expect the speakers in a toy phone from KMART to not have distortion?
2. How old was the son, because my son in 2 and he mispronounces many, many words, which sometimes sound like profanity.
3. "Six" only sounds like "Sex" when the buttons are mashed...This is a toy phone from KMART!]]>Jan 1st 2007 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/Dec 31st 2006 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/Dec 31st 2006 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/Jan 1st 2007 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/Dec 31st 2006 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/
either way, i hardly see how this is news for engadget: there is ALWAYS some stupid over-protective whore making up her mind that the toys she buys are raising her kids poorly. My guess is that the toy sounds like any other piece of crap speaker with indistinguishable noises belching out and all of this mother's sexual repression came out when she heard the toy say "xshiss" and she blushed, looked embarrassed and snatched the toy away - showing the kid that somehow the word "xshiss" will get a reaction out of adults.

that's my guess.

Of course, it's always possible that the editors here aren't careful with their choices of words and that it wasn't ACTUALLY profane, and just used the word because they flunked out of Journalism and English classes.]]>Dec 31st 2006 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/Dec 31st 2006 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/
Step 2: Instead of "shit" say "poo" as in: "bull-poo", "poo-head", and "this poo is cold".

Step 3: With "bitch", drop a "T" 'cause "bich" is Latin for "generosity"

Step 4: Don't say "fuck" anymore 'cause "fuck" is the worst word that you can say, so just use the word "mmkay"!

Anyway, the word Bitch is not profane in any way. It's the female version of any carnivorous animal, specifically dogs. You know the mother just decided it sounded like Bitch then went on about it in front of her kid. Like nearly everything stupid parents do, they are the model for what their children do, not the TV or a toy phone. she should have explained to her child that the word she thought it said is often used as a derogatory term for women and as such should be repeated by a child. of course she could use language more befitting a child but I figured I didn't need to dumb that down for blog readers. Anyway, My daughter hears words she isn't allowed to use in public all the time. By treating these children as morons and not young thinking humans is just going to encourage then to not tell you what they are thinking. you give them the freedom of thought and expression that all humans deserve, and then teach them the responsibility that goes with it. I don't care what the phone said. You don't like it, take it away from the child and take it back. ]]>Jan 2nd 2007 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/31/when-good-toys-go-bad-ii-toy-cellphone-botches-six/Jan 2nd 2007 10:31AM
