: We preface this by saying that it is OUR TIME OF THE MONTH (periods are SYNCHED here at MTO offices) so we may be a little OVERLY sensitive.

But these toys, called the "Sing-a-ma-JIGS" seem to be taking a SUBTLE jab at Black people.

thicknpretty504

They're so cute, racist c'mon MTO another slow story day?!?!


Supreme21

LoL Them things hella ugly.


GrapeVodka

MTO can we stop it. They're colorful like that to spark little ones imagination and probably interest babies in play with the colors as well. That's so silly to call them racist because you need a filler story. They're cute.


DamonDa2nd

Yeah this aint serious at alll....#shameonyou MTO!

Follow me @DamonDa2nd and Il follow you back...promise!


QueenMakeda1

ellainteligente

Original Mind

LAME!


Chile_Pleeze

They look like plush version of blow up dolls from the *** shop...pocket plush puddy lips anyone?


magnanimous616

No MTO, I don't think it's racist. YOU are the ones who think they are making "jabs" at black people because it's YOU who thinks blacks have big lips and harmonize. I'm black, I have average lips and I can't sing worth sh**. YOU sound ignorant....I'm just sayin


Feat

HONESTLY YOU GUYS ARE SO IGNORANT BECAUSE YOU GUYS FEEL OFFENCE BY THIS ? Seriously like its so pointless for you guys to point it out SOMETHING that probably they never even thought of disrespecting your race and you gotta bring up shig like this and I'm actually a MTOer fan but you guys got to stop this kinda of ignorance


CruzanGwan

Naw this is just racist MTO making subtle jabs at black people. Ya'll obviously also synchronized your poor writing and editing skills. The puppets only look like Fred Mwangawhateverandeve r. That is all B!tches!


sarai_juelz

Honestly, when I saw these toys I said the same thing and felt they were being slick by calling them Jigs...But they've been out for a while now....but they don't sound like Black folks singing.


Alessandra

Enough of this racist BS, it's 2011. When are white folks going to stop playing these MFing games? They need to QUIT IT!


Haitiana4Obama

*** up MTO ya'll so LATE...my daughter's 19 months old and I had 2 of those waiting on her while she was in utero, and she's Haitian and Puerto Rican, you think I'd buy something racist for my child? Puhlease go find something news worthy to rant about.



bunnyblu07

LMFAOOO. WOW. I DON'T THINK IT'S RACIST. @SARAI-JUELZ--LOL; THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT. ***--JIGS. LOL BUT IDK; I DON'T THINK THEY'RE BEING RACIST.

FckAllYall

What Do You Guys Care About Racial Comments?? Y'all Make Them Almost Everybody & Try To Pry Light Skinned & Dark Skinned Ppl Against Each Other. Hypocrites!!!!


cakesandpies

U idiots never heard a something referred to as a thing a Majig? Of course u have u just like starting *** with ur uneducated feeble minded readers nothing racist about this GD toy! Ugh I hate this *** *** site!


chase66441

'thingamajig' is a popular term for something you dont know the name of/cant think of the name...the full 'name' of the term 'thingy', since they sing, the name 'singamajig' would more likely be a combination of 'sing' and 'thingamajig'. as in some singing thingamajig. get off it, mto. they look like muppets. constantly going around saying everything is 'racist' only exposes YOU as the narcissists you are, assuming everything is about you. who even says jigaboo any-frigging-way??


vixenise

They're cute and harmless. I bought one for my one-year-old nephew last year for Christmas. Its the only toy he still plays with and I've grown fond of it. I highly recommend it as a stocking stuffer.


SophSoLucious

Okay MTO you all are being sensitive on this one. The big open mouths are because they sing loud and wide. Lol don't start


chase66441

oh! and btw, who is gonna take you serious when you do call something out for being actually racist? might i suggest you take a break *** from your 'journalistic research' (witch hunt) and read 'the boy who cried wolf'?


GalaGala

Yall tweakin.lol!


Rush_Luv

I guess we should refer to them as Boyz II Men from now on.

SheIsTheCrown

Lma[SPAM]oo too funny, I wouldn't be surprised if they are though. Children's bedtime story books are racist/sexist as well....They capture your mind at a young age because of course the youngsters don't know any better. Everyone is so quick to accuse MTO of putting out garbage when they might actually be right ***. I wonder if some people were ever taught to have an open mind and take all aspects into consideration. Every toy on the market is not as harmless as you think you know....Ex. BARBIE


Yajscha

What's Racist about these Toys? nothing, MTO IS SOME ***. This is how *** get started


Jenice83

Y'ALL TRIPPIN


tg

NO - this is a racist site, not Fisher price. You find a color line in EVERYTHING you post.


vermoo

WTF makes you think the toys are racist. They dont' have big lips it looks like they have the mouth like that to show they are singing! I think ya'll just want to hear comments. I bet the people writing this *** are white.


Shay86

MTO yall need to hire some new intelligent ppl...this is no where near racist. yall always trying to start some mess up and think that ppl are making fun of blk ppl..and blk ppl arent the only ones who can sang!!! yal need to get it 2gether!!!! yall just dumb!!!! lol

I hate when women blame everything on their menstrual cyle. STFU. We all go through it and been going through it. Its not something that just started happening. Nobody cares. Ugh. I hate that sh!t with a passion.

superweeks1

Yh, and notice the black hands that raised the all-singing-and-harmonising sing-a-ma-jigs? Hmm, lets take a look at the sub text here.. someone defintiely made a decision based on race here i.e. let the black hands hold the ones that sing. its prolly nuthin but it does seem racist..

Please stop being so sensitive ppl. For one, those things came out last year. You guys are just catching them? Second, I am a sista and I own one. There is nothing wrong with them. I could see if they were black but they are different colors. Get over yourself.
