Bratz are Profane?!


In case you haven’t noticed, there is always something to worry about with trendy toys. Once upon a time Barbie got in big trouble for saying, “Math is hard!” and now some of the Bratz dolls are coming under fire.

The singing Bratz dolls are advertised as being “so cute” and they certainly are. After all, all Bratz games are fun and the dolls are always cute. But in a few cases, some parents think the Bratz dolls are anything buy cute. In fact, they are calling the dolls profane.

Why? Apparently some of the singing Bratz dolls are singing words that sound an awful lot like swear words. Naturally this is upsetting to parents who were trying to buy fun and innocent Bratz games for their daughters. I’m not sure exactly what the alleged words are supposed to be, but every now and again a news story pops up claiming a girl is playing with a cussing Bratz doll.

Is it serious? That’s up to you. If you’re a fan of the Bratz dolls and you’re old enough to recognize that the occasional word might sound like naughty (even if it's not), you’ll likely just think the dolls are funny. But if you’re offended by anything that even sounds remotely wrong or you’re worried your little sister might get the wrong message, you should probably check out the lyrics before playing that Bratz game too many times.
