The toy, marketed as educational, may teach your children more than you want them to know, as a woman in Brampton, Ontario, discovered the hard way. The miniature, bright-green dancing cactus Ania Tanner bought sings in English, Spanish and Polish while squirming to the beat. After buying it for her granddaughter, Tanner discovered that one of the songs in its repertoire was an explicit tune about cocaine and hopelessness.
“It just so happens that I am Polish, and when I started to listen to the songs and I heard the words … I was in shock,” she told CTV News. “I thought: what is this, some kind of joke?”
The gyrating succulent performs a song called Gdzie Jest Biały Węgorz? (Zejście), or Where Is the White Eel? (Descent), whose opening lyrics are, according to various online translations: “The only thing in my head is five grams of cocaine / Fly away alone, to the edge of oblivion.” Later lines include swearing, graphic imagery and references to depression.
Brampton is a suburban town north west of Toronto.
Who is shocked?
Look … Trump was hoping that Biden would die … just flat-out go toes-up. If Trump could have contributed to that happening, he would have done it in a heartbeat.
