Parents Complain McDonald's 'Minions' Toys Say "What the F—?"

Just got back from our local McD's.

I bought a few of this model and can confirm that it sounds like it says "What the f***!".

I know that it's not an Objectivist topic.
And I know that parents will not find amusing a cursing minion kids' toy.

But part of me is amused:

1) I doubt that the minion is in anyway an "accident".

2) I find humorous the brazeness of it.


Further, if the cursing minion was indeed intentional, this leads me to two questions:

1) If even McDonald's is using a scandal-as-marketing-strategy approach, what more can we expect?

2) If I keep the toy in its original bag, how much could I get for it in 10 years?

    I heard WTF too, but I wouldn't be worried about my kids repeating it. A few times they've heard the F-word on TV, but it never registered. A barely intelligible F-word amidst gibberish would certainly be perceived as gibberish to them.
