Girl Gets Cabbage Patch Doll With Obscene Message
Serial Numbers Generated By Computer

POSTED: 2:58 pm EST January 5, 2005

SAN DIEGO -- Christmas Day brought an unwelcome gift for an Augusta, Ga., girl.

Diamond Robinson, 9, received a Cabbage Patch doll from her parents.

The doll comes with adoption paperwork, but in Diamond's case, the serial
number was obscene.

Her parents are angry that their daughter had to wake up to profanity on the
special day.

"She was like, 'Dad, you need to see this.' She showed it to my wife and my
wife called me and they showed it to me and I couldn't believe it," said Lucius
Robinson, Diamond's dad.

The Play-Along Company makes Cabbage Patch Dolls and said the serial number was
generated by computer and was not deliberate.

Two million of the dolls are sold in the United States every year.

Gee, I wonder what it said? Can a number really be obscene?

It was letters that spelled out "*uck", and then said either "me" or "you" (sorry, can't remember which!) Hard to believe that was computer generated, isn't it???? What are the chances anyway??

Not much! No doubt the adopter is traumatized for life.
