Audio expert examines controversial doll
A little doll is creating big buzz after some people claim the toy says, "Islam is the light."
Fisher-Price sent 2NEWS an e-mail saying, "The Little Mommy Cuddle 'n Coo dolls feature realistic baby sounds including cooing, giggling, and baby babble with no real sentence structure. The only scripted word the doll says is mama."
Some people disagree, so 2NEWS took the doll to an audio expert at Video Revolution in south Tulsa.
John Gaudet says the sound is coming across distorted, especially since it's a toy speaker.
"People want it to say something that it's actually not; the ears can be deceiving," Gaudet said.
He put a microphone on the doll and went to work improving the toy's audio quality. In a matter of minutes the sound has been cleaned up.
Gaudet says he hears something a little different.
"It sounds like it's saying, 'It's not near the light.' "
Fisher-Price says it's happy to answer any questions or address any concerns from customers.
The company's number is 1-800-524-TOYS.
