Copycat Disney CD draws dad's ire
Published: Dec. 28, 2007 at 6:55 PM
PORT ORANGE, Fla., Dec. 28 (UPI) -- A Florida father says the "Disney" CD his 6-year-old daughter got for Christmas is anything but children's music.
When Jay Scott looked at the CD his daughter got as a Christmas gift, the music on it was actually from the Diplomats, a New York hip-hop group -- and it's not what Hannah Montana fans are used to hearing, WFTV-TV, Miami reported Friday.
"Even the radio mix is at least cleaner. It was quite explicit," Scott said.
The CD, a gift from a grandmother, was an exclusive product of Toys R Us, and had no indication on the packaging that the lyrics are not intended for children, the station reported.
"It was bought by a grandmother for a grandchild. It's got Disney written all over it," Scott said.
His message to parents: "Check what your kid's got," Scott said.
