Sounds Like It’s Swearing"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"Parents in the US are not happy with McDonald’s because a new Minions Happy Meal toy sounds like it’s saying the “Well, I’ll be damned” and the non-acronym version of “WTF”.<\/p>\n

The toys have been released to coincide with the children’s movie and\u00a0Despicable Me\u00a0spin-off\u00a0Minions\u00a0hitting theatres, but the surly language of one of the range has parents up in arms.<\/p>\n

A number of videos have captured the Caveman Minion’s dirty mouth, with parents asking the Golden Arches for an explanation.<\/p>\n

“My daughter got a Happy Meal from McDonald’s with a toy, of course,” said Paul Butts in one video on\u00a0YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Originally we didn’t think anything of it until my wife this morning was moving it out of the car seat and heard something didn’t quite sound right.”<\/p>\n

The father taps the toy a few times so it makes several garbled noises.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t sound human quite human, but it does indeed sound like the toy says “Well, I’ll be damned” and “What the f—“.<\/p>\n

“Seriously, out of a McDonald’s toy,” said an incredulous Mr Butts.<\/p>\n

However, McDonald’s have denied the cheap plaything is swearing, telling Lehigh Acres Gazette\u00a0the toys are speaking “Minionese”, a nonsense of made-up words and sounds.<\/p>\n

Any similarities to actual words are a coincidence, the fast-food giant said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
