Sweet face, filthy mouth.

Foul language is unavoidable, and it probably always has been.  No matter what the morals police have implied about this new world, cursing has always been a thing, it’s just that what used to be a violent swear is now just a cheeky old-timer expression, consarn it.  However, just because it can’t be avoided doesn’t mean it’s not something you want to actively seek out, and one Ohio parent says an otherwise innocent little plastic toy is teaching his son some inappropriate new vocabulary.  A McDonald’s Happy Meal toy from the movie Minions apparently says something not family-friendly.

The toy says something that sounds suspiciously like “WTF”, but not bowdlerized by initials.  Of course, it could just be a little babbling banana-colored goblin saying little banana goblin things, but that’s not what some Ohio parents claim to have heard.  Having listened to the video, I don’t hear it myself, but I suppose you can’t be too careful considering what some animators are accused of inserting into the background of Disney films.  McDonald’s, for their part, puts the cursing onto dirty-minded parents, not their toys.

‘Minions speak ”Minionese” which is a random combination of many languages and nonsense words and sounds,” said a McDonald’s spokesperson to My Fox 28 from Columbus, Ohio, where the toy was purchased.  “‘Minionese’ has no translation to, or meaning in any recognized language.  Any perceived similarities to words used within the English language are purely coincidental.’

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
